First time I log in for a while and this is the first post I see!
In answer to your question, the toilets in the Vic are quite pleasant.

As does The Sportsman, the atmosphere isn't quite the same as playing here in Vegas though.

The most insidious of rules are those that aren't rules at all.
They are the limitations that we invent for ourselves

There are a couple of places, none of them begin with the letter G though. |

There is a huge amount of skill in craps, and the art of throwing 2 dice is vastly underrated. These lads are the best in the game, they can regularly roll for hours without a 7. They also know when its not their day after a few rolls, so let someone else take control. Bet munipulation, throwing deviations etc. They are the best.

Just visited the Gamblers store in Downtown Vegas picked up my first ever poker books Greenstein's Ace on The River and Blair Rodman and Lee Nelson's Kill Phil, anyway the relevance to this thread was my amazement at the number of strategy books available on Craps. My advice to the MIT Dice Squad is Pressing is for pansies Parlay is the only word you need to know.

There was a guy in the US who decided to get really good at throwing dice for craps so he built his own craps table (we're talking about 25 years ago) in his house and spent hours and hours every day just throwing the dice. The secret was in arranging the dice in his hand in a certain way and then getting them to hit off the end wall in such a way that they didn't rotate.
He did quite well, apparantly.

As someone who deals dice, I find this really hard to believe. Have you seen the texture of the walls around the inside of a dice table? To Qualify as a throw they must hit this wall (which is designed in such a way this is neigh on impossible). Just as hitting a specific number in roulette. The hazards in both protect against this. |

Stanford Wong says that he can control dice. Lot's of talk about it on the private pages at BJ21.com.
