Video Proof: Random Rollers vs Dice Setters
Quote: HiOpt2PoorI had an excellent win dice setting a couple weeks back.
100% true story. I won 3K not sure it had anything to do with the dice setting. But the nice person next to me called his host to the table and got me a comped room and the place was sold out. Maybe I'll keep practicing my Dice Set. lol
Pascal's Wager, so why the hell not if you're going to play Craps anyway?
If you're right, then dice setting helps you.
If you're wrong, then dice setting does not hurt you.
The only way it could hurt you is if you were right, but were doing it wrong. Even then, dice setting would still be changing the probabilities a bit and would, "Work," in that sense.
Do I believe in dice setting? Nope. Do I set the dice on the rare occasion that I play Craps? You bet!

Pascal's wager states if you are wrong, you lose nothing. Not true in casino games. If you are wrong, dice setting or not, you still LOSE!

It’s restive to baseline. Assume you are playing craps either way. So you lose the same whether or not you dice set. So you lose nothing (relative to baseline) by setting the dice.
Quote: ChapzWhat if the dice setting cause the the roll to lose vs a random throw?
You’ve hit on the Schmod counter argument to Pascal’s Wager. Brilliant!
Quote: ChapzMy point is, you can't apply Pascal's wager to casino games.
Your posts have not persuasively made that point. Your prior post in fact made it even more clearly related to Pascal’s wage.
Paraphrased:
Pascal:
There may or may not be a God. I may or may not believe in Him. The only way I lose is if there is a God and I do not believe in Him.
Schmod counter:
There may or may not be a Schmod. I may or may not believe in Him. The only way I lose is if there is a Schmod and I do believe in Him.

You are assuming that if you set the dice and lost, you would have lost also if you threw the dice randomly. That is the flaw.
There is no such thing as 'nothing to lose' in casino games.

Nor in life. How many +EV (for whatever your definition of EV) have been passed up due to belief in God. Mere belief with no difference in life lived is not the point.

I agree, hence my caveat, "If you're going to play Craps anyway."
