![]() I went with them (over the course of two years) to casinos in Atlantic City, Tunica, Las Vegas, New Mexico, and even Canada, and what I observed was quite amazing.Ĭasinos win at craps because, statistically, the number 7 appears once out of every six throws. I finally decided to watch Frank, Dom, and his team play craps to get the lowdown on exactly what they doing. Word about “dice control” started to spread amongst the general public and I was being asked about it from scores of casino players. Along with other hand-picked dice controllers, this group began playing together as a team, and offered intense two-day, hands-on classes to teach players the skills they needed to master to be successful at dice control (i.e., Golden Touch Craps or GTC classes). Meanwhile, Scoblete teamed up with Dom LoRiggio (known in craps circles as the “Dominator”) to form a company called Golden Touch. It turned out that Patterson was starting to teach dice control classes to players who want to learn. The seminar was informative but I still was not convinced. ![]() ![]() Sharpshooter spoke about the art and science of dice control, including the following topics: degrees of freedom as they relate to the toss of a pair of dice, how to set and grip the dice, and how to toss them down the table. The main speakers at the seminar were Jerry Patterson and a man named Sharpshooter. Naw, as much as Frank tried to convince me that dice control “works” I was still skeptical.īut Frank was persistent and he invited me to a seminar on dice control that was being held at the Best Western Motel on Paradise Road in Las Vegas. I mean the dice have to hit the back wall, don’t they, and when they do, they bounce all over the layout. To say I was skeptical about someone’s being able to control his or her dice throws is an understatement. (You can read about the Captain and his team of craps players in any number of craps books written by Frank.) He then told me was winning at craps using a new technique he learned, called “rhythm rolling.” For a split second, I thought Frank had gone off the deep end nevertheless, Frank began to explain the meetings and playing sessions he had with a man known as the “Captain” in Atlantic City. I finally asked Frank why he was playing craps. On another subsequent trip to Vegas, he spent more time playing craps than blackjack. ![]() I thought this was odd, especially since Frank was an excellent card counter who had paid for one of his son’s college tuition from his winnings at blackjack. On one of my trips to Vegas, Frank excused himself and said he was going to play craps. Frank and I met periodically in Las Vegas when we were both card counting at blackjack. It was in the early 2000s that I first learned about a technique called “rhythm rolling” from my friend and fellow gambling author Frank Scoblete. ![]()
