I've heard and read some about these guys. Sharpshooters. They claim they can grip the dice in a certain way, and thow them and actually control the outcome somewhat. Wong actually claims to be able to do this. Should be interesting show.

Thanks Kyhawk

-F-

PS- 15+ years ago the old MARINA threw me out.........accusing me of cheating on the roll outs after making like 7-6 passes.

Of course I was not.............hell, I was half snockered and just plain lucky.

What a dive operation that was, plus the bar constantly smelled like puke day in and day out.

I've heard about these clowns as well; one guy even charges money for classes on how to throw the dice so you can supposedly turn craps into a positive return game. I do know that the casinos have no problem with people using these techniques and that says it all.

While most casinos laugh off the notion, LoRiggio (later known as "The Dominator" and "The Man with the Golden Arm") knows that practice makes perfect and sets out to prove them wrong. First, he hooks up with dice-control master Chris Pawlicki--founder of "Rosebud", the first team approach to craps ever attempted--and soon becomes their ace player. But LoRiggio grows dissatisfied with the team's approach to small-but-steady winnings. In 2003, he partners with Frank Scoblete, another player with a penchant for big bets and bigger wins. When LoRiggio defies the odds and dominates the dice at table after table, however, the casinos vow to stop him....no matter what. TVPG cc

scoblete's early books were informative....


his latest book has revealed that he is nothing more than a huckster......


his "professional craps players" he details in his latest drivel are nothing more than con-artists...


his band of nitwits are invited with open arms at any casino........in tunica or vegas.............or my house:103631605

You Can Say There is no such thing as Santa

BUt as for me and Hizzle we believe.............

As documented in Wong's book, I was relieved of $5,500 in a dice challenge where I faded Wong's dice proficiency, not believing it was readily feasible in real life conditions.

CRUNCH!!

500 rolls later, and $5,500 poorer, I have no desire to step up and fade Mr. Wong going forward.


Ps. We had agreed to a maximum $10,000 challenge. Wong offered to make the odds $100,000, and he was not bluffing.

Food for thought on an area that is VERY interesting.

Liked the episode much more than anticipated, I heard the record is 3hrs 10 mins somewhere in Vegas, that seems rather high can anyone confirm that?

I think its the California club or casino, that had the longest roll.

I've tried it before boxcars up on the come out...and the "flying V" 3's up to roll points.....mixed results...when I roll points I think its working when it craps out I blame it on the throw.... who knows????

Fezzik,
500 rolls, a seven should come up 16.66% of the time or roughly 83 times. How many sevens did Wong throw?
