Question:
Has anyone had any luck or heard of such praticing dice control on the "mystery of 50" bubble craps machines.

Background:
I am a novice to this world, I go to vegas once or twice a year with my wife and have a good time usually breaking about even. Generally I go to have fun and don't put much thought into advantage playing.
The last couple of times I've noticed and preferred the bubble craps machines to the tables mainly because I can play on the strip with low minimums. I have noticed (and seen others discussed) some abnormalities in the frequencies that come up. Further a few times I've been able to time the dice so that the showing roll will be the result. It is a rare opritu it's but occasionally it does happen.
Anyway your thoughts?

I've heard theories. I think that the action/response of the roll buttons varies somewhat.

By the way, it's actually "history of 50" -- they flash a couple of sporadic stats about the last 50 rolls.

I would doubt there is an opportunity there, but please identify the machine(s) so that there is less confusion.

The only electronic craps I've played just kept rolling and rolling the dice inside a plastic bubble and there was no "roll" button nor did I see any history display though I would have ignored it if I had.

Such machines might have the potential to "remember" the last position of the dice. This possible pattern production would be something any casino would question, so the manufacturer must have been able to convince doubters.

One thing I am sure of is that players have tried to find a pattern. There are always some dumb-asses doing it, but also some sharp characters. I think by now some of the latter would have cracked it.

Any anecdotal-level observations you may make without tons of data are just going to mess with your head, worthless stuff. I suggest you give up trying to find patterns and just enjoy your play.

I'm a believer. We had a thread about this a while ago and I couldn't find it. Basically, my theory is that over time the results are fair, but there might be some correlation from one set of numbers to the next.

I would love to study it and make thousands, but I'm not because an AP play like this is not fair to the casinos that are just trying to provide me with some entertainment.

The beauty is that thousands of samples can be made fairly cheaply: on a $1 machine if you play 24 hours straight you'll get 60 to 70 hours of play hours of play on a $50 dollar bankroll.

There is a big button that basically causes the dice to get jostled when you press it.
The game has been compared to no-whammies which is funny because no-whammies was in fact advantage-able.

Not fair? I don't want to cheat, just like an interesting problem. A couple extra bucks with out breaking any rules sounds okay too.

Well, if you move fast enough you could take 70 hours of earth-perspective time to complete 24 hours from your perspective. But you'd still only experience 24 hours.

Ha, poor wording on my part my meaning was round the clock. As in 24 hours a day. The implication being an impractical run for sure.
Thanks for the input.

Does any one know of an odds calculator: for instance what is the probabilty I will double my money before loosing my entire bank roll?
I wrote my own but I think it might be a bit pessimistic.
100 bankroll $5 pass, 2 times odds, gives my just below 45% double 55% bust

Your signature doesn't make any sense. Assuming you're starting at the come-out:
7 - winner
11 - winner
4 - point set to 4
4 - point winner
11 - winner
7 - winner

The last 7 isn't a "7-out."

If you watch this machine you will notice that it shakes and vibrates heavily before you press the shooters button and a slight delay happens. The dice are constantly turning, changing positions along with what's on top or bottom before you can shoot. Any patterns you see are in your head, but god loves trier's

Good luck, stranger things have happened.

No. Its quite topical and your contributions will be valued. It is perhaps absurd to consider dice tumbling under a sealed plastic bubble are being "influenced" by the pretty waitress walking by, but you are welcome to make your comments and this is indeed a good forum. Now if you have the same doubts that I have it may be that one quick read of the thread will suffice for you but if you want to stand there clocking the dice for hours upon hours.... go ahead. Just don't ask me to think sealed dice are bouncing differently because of these hard stares from passersby.

couple of things.

first i have played on them and actually made money. There are long rolls and short rolls
just like on a real table.

I personally think their rigged because a number of times i have seen the dice almost settle on one number
and then all of a sudden roll over like there is a magnet affect. Could be in my head, but i saw
this. Also my last trip to Laughflin , my feet were sore so i played it awhile
and had a real long roll, much longer than i had at any real table.... but the betting limits were so low
i could only make a little.

IT also provides decent comp play.

I love the bubble machine - it's how I learned the game... I still spend a couple of hours playing each trip, some of the tables can get pretty wild on the good rolls.... put in $100, roll for an hour or two, a few free beers - life is good....

I presume the OP is referring to the machine (casino) manipulating the results (magnets, whatever) to make the game something other than random.

I do not believe that this is the case.

Obviously, the players cannot influence or control the dice in any way.

I have not played bubble craps and don't think I'll start.

It appears to me that it is possible to reduce the variability by hitting the button when one die is relatively flat and showing a particular number. The table only shoots the dice straight up.

Whether this actually makes a difference, I don’t know, but I did have an exceptional roll, and several rolls of 10+ shots using it.

I would have to guess you raised some eyebrows.

Less variance? Meh. Change the distribution of possible outcomes? Now you're talking!

Edit: rereading that, you say 'variability', not 'variance', so maybe you did mean changing outcomes. I'd be working on that if I were you.

No offense, but for those who genuinely think this, why the hell are you going anywhere near a casino? If you accept that there are magnets in here, how could you trust a regular table doesn’t have loaded dice, that blackjack decks are fair, that slot machine software is fair, etc etc?

I hate to bust your "bubble" but there is no such skill to this game. it's dice in a bubble controlled by a machine just like SicBo (3 Dice) game.

There is a history of 50 previous rolls and if you "follow the trend" like roulette you can only get lucky.

They have a very nice bubble style multi player craps machine with minimum bet $1.00.
It's great if you like to try new bets or if you're a newbie and just simply learn this way.
