Craps dice control is an alleged skill where the person rolling the dice \u2013 known as The Shooter \u2013 can \u201cset\u201d the dice in a certain way before throwing them, and by so doing, cause them to roll whichever number they want. But how can you control the dice, if at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are three main methods to craps dice control: Grip, Throw, and Set, as explained below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how you hold the dice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To control the dice in casino craps<\/a>, first grip them between the thumb and forefinger. This will allow you to hold the two dice together tightly, while at the same time showing the dealers that you aren\u2019t trying to shave or replace, or otherwise manipulate or cheat the dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many craps players will just cup the dice, shake them in their fist, and then throw them wildly down the table where they hit the pyramid-foam padding on the other side. The dice will then bounce around wildly before coming to a stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But a player who practices dice control in craps will first grip the dice correctly, and then gently throw them in an arc (a parabolic toss). This causes the dice to sail in a curve from the Shooter\u2019s grip to the other side of the craps table, where they will come to a more gentle stop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This way, they are more likely to come to rest displaying the number that the Shooter wanted to roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They will still hit the pyramid-foam backing of the craps table, which is a requirement for a legitimate throw in the game of craps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Craps dice setting is a method practiced by craps players in order to roll certain numbers more frequently, or to avoid certain numbers \u2013 like the dreaded 7 after the Point has been established. There are several popular ways to set dice in craps, described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The practice of dice setting is designed to reduce the house edge<\/a> on craps bets, creating situations where the Shooter rolls numbers to their advantage, before crapping out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2.
