Crap Shooters ~ is it possible to really control the dice by setting them up a certain way before you toss?

Yes. it is very difficult to do consistently, but they can be somewhat controlled.

No way. It's essentially impossible.

The idea of rolling dice is that the numbers that will come up are random.

There are too many variables to control:

1. Even if you set the dice up the same before you toss them, the way you throw the dice is going to be different every time. Even if you try to control your arm speed and release, it won't ever be the same.

2. The way the dice spin in the air will cancel out any position that the dice were set up in in the first place.

3. The spot in which the dice hit the table and bounces off the wall will be different every time and it would be impossible for a human to replicate a dice toss.

Think of it this way... Casinos and gambling halls would have banned dice rolling if there were some way to beat it. There would be some sort of movie about someone who already figured it out.

Sadly, it's impossible.

nope......set has nothing to do with dice control.....it's all about the throw and the landing .....you try to eliminate yaw both while the dice are in the air and when they hit the felt and the back wall ..now, that can be done.......i can usually throw 4 sevens every 36 times i toss the dice

the concept of dice controll revolves around the idea that, if you hold the dice with numbers ON THE SIDES as you toss them, and attmpt to roll them in such a manor that when they hit the back wall, they land in the corner, and not on the diamond backwall, that they may tend to rotate on only one axis, which woudl reduce the rate of occurance of the numbers on the side landing up, since they woudl always be on the side of the dice as it "rolls" on that axis

It certainly seems plausible, but I cant say for sure if its practical with variables of bounce, human error, and how the dice kinda stick to your fingers a lil bit, which woudl offset the rotation upoin release.

Why should people give a crap about a question you ask?

Every time you don't like an answer they give, you just ban them.

Pathetic waste of people's time.

yes. Set them up with a small(er) number on top. that side weighs more, and will fall opposite to what you throw.
