Intermediate dice shooter in need of a professionals suggestions/opinion.

Several years ago a friend drug me to a casino after months of pushing the issue not to mention his mild boasting on his gambling skills.I have never been even slightly interested or curious about what goes on in them places.Mostly due to my not wanting to give my hard earned money away,and the one & only fact that I and pretty much everyone does know is they keep the lights bright.If it were easy they wouldn't be in existence"The House always wins in the end" RIGHT?? So I went & was instantly hooked on the thrill. At first I tried Black Jack and loved it! That was my GAME!!!!! Well,it turns out I had just been fortunate to get great shoes my first few trips.After I had got busted up,beat down & steadily fed them money like I had gone brain dead or something.I suddenly was not excited about the game as much.I had always wanted to try my luck at the Crap table but was under the impression you had to have a somewhat larger bank roll and I had played on the street when I was younger,so how much different could it be from the street version.It turned out, shockingly it was even better!!Also,a lot safer & the excitement was unbelievable! Now, getting to the point finally.......Instantly I was interested in researching the casino style and reading as much literature I could find from a reliable source.Already being familiar with setting the dice,that was my main concern in educating myself about.I quickly saw & several others did as well that I had been somehow blessed with a natural born skill/talent when the dice were passed to me and I would shoot.Considering the small amount of money I put in play, I was getting way too much attention and harassment from the stick/dealer/pit bosses,not to mention my friend was really putting the pressure on for me not to just go, but to be sure I let him know about any & all trips I took.Unfortunately we ended up having a falling out, for him ruining several trips and making it not fun for me anymore.Plus, he had a drinking problem that had resulted in him being denied action countless times and with me running from him and avoiding him by table hopping then hearing me yelling from another table when I was on a good roll he would get furious and want to fight.I shockingly didn't find that to be a good time for some reason.LOL.He just wanted me to roll numbers that benefited him.
Now,getting to the point for real this time I promise!!!!!
So,after a long period of time going through a lot of money, trial & error,& eventually building my own full size,regulation, practice table at my home I was able to go and be successful a large percent of time at the table.And realizing that I was only human and I couldn't be on my best game at all times,I would put the walk away strategy into action anytime I was not at 100%,and go to my room or even leave altogether and go home.So,the thing I am trying to get thoughts/suggestions on is.....I have got to the level of being able to hit my sets fairly well.For example:When using the 3-v set,I will hit a hard or easy 6 or 8 five out of ten rolls.However,somehow the outcome is in my favor more so when the roll looks sloppy and the dice bounce and roll a lot more.A roll that looks to be textbook thats a beautiful thing to see hits that bad number more times than not! I know what most people will say:If it's not broke don't fix it.And that is the logical thing to do,but it would be even better if not only the out come was good,but it looking great while doing it.

All positive criticism,comments,& suggestions appreciated,
