Basics of Craps Dice Control

There's much excitement about the effectiveness of craps dice control. Many people still cannot believe that we really can control the dice results to some degree and that this has been effectively profitable.

Dice control, first of all, should be understood as no absolute. We cannot control dice results all the time. It is relative to our energy level and motion precision�plus of course, level of mastery. The basic factor is that we must have the constant right grip and release all through the throwing turns we have in the game. If we are able to maintain the right quality of grip and release, then we have the right craps dice control.

We can glean from this that craps dice control cannot be constant because of the human frailty factor. People get tired or emotional or distracted and all these affect dice control considerably. Our aim is to change the random nature of dice throw results so we shift from random throwing to calculated rolling. But random is the natural mode and therefore it is easier for our natural bodies and movement to shift back to random after an effortful performance.

But at least, with dice control we are able to lessen random results and make the results of the majority or part of our dice plays at will. When we see systematic shooters able to throw the same numbers in a row, they have achieved the right motion rhythm from gripping to swinging to the final release of the dice. All these perfect motion phases are able to be produced by the roller each time. Is this possible? From observation, there are players who actually do this.

These players are either conscious dice controllers or non-conscious dice controllers. Most conscious controllers consider the setting factor. The common setting of dice in the hand is called the 3-V set where dice faces with 3 dots form "V" formation on top. If we examine the sides of the dice with this formation the sums do not total a 7. So a lot of dice controllers favor this dice setting. Next factor is the swinging.

Swinging the arms before the release should be done gently, aiding a gentle release of the dice. The goal f the gentle swing motion and the accompanying gentle release is to have a soft landing effect of the dice to reduce hard bounce off and too much rolling.

Hence, basically, we observe the setting, grip, swing, and release of the dice.
