Craps Shooter Rules, Dice Setting? Roll or no Roll | Level Up at Dice 08 

Dice setting is like bowling. You can have the perfect back swing, throw, spin, hit it right in the pocket and still leave a solid seven pin still standing.

@@mikegee8875 - Happens to me all the time, and I'm a lefty.

@@skinovtheperineum1208 I'm a left too. I find I can hit the numbers I'm setting for with my left, when I want the 7 I change to my right and let it bounce and I often get the 7.

@@Liminalplace1 - Do me this one small favor then...if you DO find that the dice can be influenced to the point where the result conflicts with the math, keep that info to yourself, and spread the gospel that such things are nonsense. Remember when the Blackjack card counters had the keys to the vault and the casinos were clueless? Well, I do. Now look.

@@skinovtheperineum1208 oh they can be influenced... its just A LOT harder to learn than the math behind card counting. Plus even when you get good at it, like the bowling guy said sometimes that damn 7 pin stays standin

This is so helpful. I'm a setter i like 6 up and 3 facing me. and Somehow instinctively know how to find it quick to help the game move, but I've never had this correlation. Thank you

In Arkansas oaklawn casino I was told that they have personally seen people chip teeth on dice and that's what originally set the rule but people always called bs so they say other things

Don't always have a full crew? lol I was at the Seneca Allegany Casino once and it was early morning, empty, and one half of the Craps table was closed, a dealer only at the one end with 2 customers. It looked funny and I'd never seen it before or since.

@@skinovtheperineum1208 our casino has a half-table insert we can use to cut the length in half and also allow 1 dealer to run the whole game.

I know this is picky but I would not call that athletics but rather having repeatable mechanics. I refuse to call them, 250 pound old men smoking their Camel cigarettes and staring at the cocktail waitresses like a creep, athletes.

That's good stuff. I have a dislike for the folks that have their hands all over the table, usually the field, all late when the dice are out. I like throwing the dice at their faces when their hands are in the way.

😂😂😂.

And after all those false rolls I bet they blasted them bones cross table. I do false rolls when I get the dice at the beginning. Meaning from the five I have to choose from. Never again afterward. I do it to see how bouncy the table is and to make sure all hands are up. You know that last minute better. Also during my turn I make sure to be the last one to make a bet. Again just to be sure that all hands are up. As far as setting the dice goes(timing) I’m quick to do. Just saying I cannot stand hands in the play zone. I’ve even barked “Dice Out” just to get hands up.

You are full of crap. You can't play craps for a living

Funniest thing is when they set them, then pick them up and shake them before tossing...WTF?....I set but am very fast at it as I set for the point.

Ad a new craps player I noticed a settor taking forever and made a comment to the guy next to me about how it seems silly because I will see a 60 second ritual pre throw and then watch a 7 out. When the dice got to him he proceeded to be the worst settor I've ever seen and took longer than anyone. He didn't speak to me the rest of the game it wad pretty awkward😂

The casino already weighs the all the dice before they get to your hands

I have hit the Dice in the air to make it a no roll when I saw "shenanigans" by the shooter. The Dunes was a special place and Dealers there were given LOTS of liberties that you don't see today. I am sure Horseshoe dealers were in the same category back in the days of Teddy. Today, any intervention by the Stick would be considered a "no roll". - David

@@CasinoQuest - FYI, played a quarter game at Linq a couple of weeks ago, and a woman was on a serious heater, working on her sixth or seventh point. The stick (completely inadvertently) hit the shooter's roll and -- naturally -- it sevened out. Roll was called good. Now I'm the world's least superstitious craps player, so I believe that roll, like every roll, was random. But man oh man was most of the table pissed. So it's certainly not consistent.

Stick man hit my dice in the air at the MGM. I was so mad and I crapped out! That was in the late 90's.

Once I had latex finger covers on and I was not allowed to shoot unless I used my opposite hand.

they can land on the table first

@@piranf thanks

Either or

Table then wall...

I have been told a couple times that they must hit the table first when the guy next to me was basically pitching them to the back wall first

They cared at the Freemont when I hit 7 points in one roll and called me a cheater.

Crapped out? It’s called Sevened Out. Crapped out is when you roll a 2,3, or 12 on the Come Out Roll.

@@mrvapor4791 So casino workers just started acusing you of cheating mid roll? How did that play out? Details

@@brizzlex1919 The dealer just looked at his pit boss and said the word.. "cheater". But they already were hip to me at that point. They usually just switched my dealer out with a cooler or Asian bitch or some other asshole. What does that mean.. well not making any hard ways bets for one thing because they will "forget" to pay them to try and piss you off.

@@mrvapor4791 🤣 that's messed up its hard to imagine them doing that and being serious

I had the same thing happen, my response was colour up then, and walked away!

But it does nothing to the dice in reality. As long as we are aware of that.....

@@brizzlex1919 Yup! 100% aware 😅

Nope just for choices and have to replace the dice less

Because they have 2 brain cells to rub together and are in a huge open room with just the 2 of them.

When you make a contract bet like the PassLine Bet, you cannot remove that bet once the puck in ON.

At Mohegan last year i went to toss the dice and the dealer on the end next to me stuck her arm out and interfered with my throw, one die dropped straight down the other one dribbled in front of the pit boss it was a 7 i protested claiming the dealer interfered obviously everyone saw it, i then said both dice never hit the back wall they said when the dice leave your hand it is on....... I scooped up my chips and left they care less,

Thats is crazy always a skirmish at Mohegan Sun craps tables,, one time i was playing at the end of the table went into my motion to throw the dice and the dealer who was to my right reached out for some reason our arms collided one die fell straight down and the other came to rest near the boxman 7 out !!! I protested and said the dealer hit my arm they shrugged and said the die advanced far enough to count WTF ??? What happened to the dice had to hit the back wall ???

Hello I set my dice. So now you’ve heard from a dice setter. 😜 if you’re wanting to learn, it’s nothing more than practice. Let’s say you don’t have a table to practice on. No problem. Go to Michael or hobby lobby and get you a piece of foam called egg crate. Cut it to fit inside a 3-4 inch tall cardboard box. Box should be about the size of a shoe box. Line the long inside with the foam. That gives you the random chance witch we really don’t care about at this time. Set box on kitchen table and hopefully up against the wall. Toss from other end of table into the box. It’s practice at this point. Try to toss the dice to die quickly inside the box and keeping in mind the box bottom is the target. When done a few hundred times were the dice just bounce hit foam and die, your ready to try it again at the casino. Softness is key with little to no rotation of the dice in the air when tossed. Trust me you’re going to know when the dice leave your hand if it’s going to be good or not.

@@robertlukacs1762 and adding to what Robert has advised, it is also very important to focus on one spot on the table (landing spot) and also keep your fingers straight to the wall, as soon as you spread your fingers, you create a random throw where the dice will not go straight into the wall and back out. As Robert has said, practice, practice, practice!

I've been setting for 20 years, and I have practice both setting and random. What I believe happens is you build so much faith and confidence in your setting, that you truly believe you can hit what ever your going after. It takes time and after time you will see what works.

@@robertlukacs1762 You don't know if it's good any better than a random shooter. You wasted hours of time practicing something you can't do.

@@brizzlex1919 you’re right there is no guarantees. But it builds confidence and control. And if that’s what it takes to get you to play then where is the harm. Knocking chips around with the dice, as fun as that can be, slows down the game and pisses players off.

Yeah when you walk up to the table ask who’s hot from another player. Yes is all by chance. But I watch for the blaster guy’s to bet dark side. They are more likely to pso than other’s

Watch you're money after the roll, I've had chips come up missing... Know where you're chips are placed and watch them, if they come up missing the house won't replace rhem... Also you need to know how much you won, just because they slap a couple chips down doesn't mean that's correct, be aware of what you won...

You can't remove a Pass line bet after the point is established.

No that is a contract bet

Yes a come bet is a contract bet. And yes you can pick up the don't but only after the first roll.

@@jimeronimo You would never want to pick up your don't aince you are at the advantage after the come out roll

No, both dice have to be thrown at the same time

It does not even up the game to 50/50 If you can alter the odds of a 7 appearing from 1 in 6 to just 1 in 7 then you suddenly topple the whole house edge
