Since you're in Sin City try to come up with a unique message, something more than "busted out gambler, will work for food."
No, I won't give you any money: giving money to beggarrs is counterproductive, society-wise.
Sink or swim, dude, sink or swim.
Better yet, call mama and see if your bedroom is still available.

Quote: OnceDearWill someone let me in on the joke, please.
Aaron is a long time member who originally thought that DI was a real option. He did gobs of research, bought his own table, made his own mechanical roller, and eventually concluded that DI did not work to make craps a winning game. He kindly hosted a challenge where alleged DI’s tried to not roll a certain percentage of 7’s. They failed and I won a few hundred $$ betting against them.
Aaron also was involved with a new type of skill based game which did not achieve commercial success. (See NTEK/NTGL thread).
So perhaps he needs a buck or two.
Welcome back AHIGH. Keep on posting!

He also openly boasted about the fact that he made life miserable for craps crews, so he'll understand if I don't contribute to his fund.

I read the first post as some tongue in cheek in-joke. But the latest post featured a paypal donation link. That took it into rule 3 spam territory, in my interpretation. I still feel it's supposed to be humour, so the suspension is open to appeal.

Oh that makes sense. The joke went over my head completely.
I actually thought OP made some kind of unregulated craps gambling site, which wouldn’t be out of character.

Quote: TDVegasWhile there might be someone out there actually beating craps….I doubt it. With a low house edge, there might be a few out there who have some how remained net neutral or up or down a few over an extended period of play. That said, nobody is using the craps table for income, IMO.

Playing with an advantage and beating the game are two independent things.
I believe that I demonstrated an ability to play with an advantage, and at my bet levels, it allowed me to profit playing for 1-hour per day for approximately a year, but just like the house-edge for perfect play it is nothing compared to volatility of larger-action, and to wade through the volatility to get to the edge is EXTREMELY unlikely given the target demographic's (of the game of craps) average IQ.
The other thing that I learned in doing this play is that dealers really don't like being required to do their job for such little tips as is required to pull this off at low bet-denominations.
It's just generally-speaking, next-to-impossible to gain an advantage through a lifetime-of-play on craps.
But for a given roll, advantages CAN be had. And therein lies the attraction. Especially for big betters who believe in good shooters.

This begs for an explanation. Was he not betting on the numbers you were hitting or was he making hardway bets while you were making easyway numbers?

I just noticed this post.
One point in craps etiquette is not to hold your drinks over the table.
Another point is not to have your hands above the table or in the bowl of the table.
Another point is to know which bets are placed by the dealer and which are self service.
Another point is where to place your cash when buying in.
Another point is where to place your chips and which dealer gets your chips.
Should I go on?
There are many points in etiquette. But you thought it was about dice control.
I absolutely did not think it was about dice control. My idea of a great service doesn't involve craps etiquette.Quote: AlanMendelsonQuote: AxelWolfCraps etiquette if taught would be a great service= ROFLMAO.Quote: AlanMendelsonThis site can perform a great service if it taught craps etiquette.

is it considered bad craps etiquette to cuss out and threaten anybody betting don't pass?
or is that considered proper craps etiquette and is actually encouraged?

Have you seen that?
I was once threatened... that's THREATENED... when a player ran over to me after I asked his wife to keep her hands above the rail. She stood where I throw the dice and honestly I didnt want to hit her hands... dice are sharp and they hurt.
The husband was immediately thrown out by the suits and when he wouldn't leave security was called. He was probably drinking too much.

Players can screw it up for the dealers by not following rules and etiquette. You screw it up for the dealers and the game goes downhill for the players.
Biggest way to screw it up is to put your bets in the wrong places.

Honestly Ahigh, you never demonstrated any kind of controlled throw.
But dont feel bad. I've only seen 3 players who had anything close to a controlled throw and NONE of them ever had a monster roll or could consistently deliver winnings hands.
But keep trying. I'd rather play with someone who tries rather than a chucker.

Can't top that. But I'm sure it was a "no roll."
He said nothing about a controlled throw. One can absolutely get an advantage while playing craps(even you Alan). I don't know what they could make per year if they went full-blown, or how scalable it is. Here's the problem, most of the guys that are really into craps aren't interested in doing what it takes to gain an advantage. The guys that have what it takes and the knowledge are probably using that information to get a much better earn by avoiding craps.

I had a drunk rush me at the Taj poker room in the 90s. I tackled him into a half chokehold and he proceeded to bite a piece of my skin on my wrist off before security for there. I still have an itty bitty scar.

The reason I say that the dice was thrown at me is because when the guy performed the roll, he did it the same way every time. When he left, the dealers at the table were dumb founded. They said the guy who “rolled” or theew the dice was a regular and that he ALWAYS controlled the dice to the best of his ability. Same roll every time for as long as he came there. I show up and he started to be uncontrollable and I had to dodge the dice so to say. I wasn’t even playing the game which is the funny part

I would agree with this, in general. It's funny how much hubris people who work for the casino can get as you demonstrate things to them, like intentions to commit a crime. The fact is that people who work in the casino are the weak link, in general, across the board.
So much hubris, so little quality of life, these criminals who think that working for the casino makes them immune to the law.

You seem to be confusing a legal notice with a threat of harm.
I made a formal notice to Zcore that I intended to remain private in the interest of him wanting to keep his job as an ethical person who chooses to avoid criminal intent, but he chose to demonstrate his intentions very clearly, and so I assisted his efforts by apprising the public of the notice that he appeared to read and ignore with criminal impunity.

Note this point from shouselaw who specializes in cases involving charges from NRS anti-cheating laws.
Quote: https://www.shouselaw.com/Also note that a defendant may be convicted of cheating even if he/she merely attempted to cheat or conspired to cheat. It does not matter whether the accused actually carried out the cheating or whether he/she personally played the gambling game.
Simply describing a process that might work could land you in jail.
Everyone who talks on this message forum should ALWAYS be concerned about the law more than ANY other guideline for behavior on this forum. I have been all over the internet to see good people commiting crimes in ignorance of the law where the law is blind.
