RS___ what makes you think the guys selling the books and selling the courses are really true dice influencers? There are con artists in all businesses. Heck, I've put a few "honest mortgage investment company executives" in federal prison.
Frankly, I've hung out with the original DI crowd and I was not impressed with their results. On the other hand, I've played with three others who I honestly think had the skill. One was a surgeon from Washington State and I played with him at Caesars several times. Then there was the "mystery" guy who I saw once at Caesars -- held the dice for about a half hour, took his big win and left. About a year ago I met a third player who had a very easy controlled throw with dice traveling together and gently hitting the back wall and bouncing off the back wall gently.
But that is not what I ask. I ask you or anyone else to prove to me that DI can't be possible. I can show you videos on YouTube that are not DI even though the participants claim they are. They aren't because the dice bounce too much and that violates what DI must be.
By the way, you also brought up the 18 yo's in a row. Yes, I was at Caesars when a RANDOM SHOOTER rolled 18 elevens in a row. There were three of us at the table and not one of us had a bet on the 11. Like the dealers we stood there in amazement. At least twice -- and it was probably three times -- the stickman examined the dice. And the 11s continued.
Over on the Wizard of Vegas forum the "math guys" all point to the one in mega billion chance of this happening (my exaggeration) but it did happen. The same way I put only $1,000 into a $25 video poker machine and hit two quads, one straight flush (at $5) and then a $100,000 royal. Stuff happens that's hard to believe.
There is a big difference between the chance of something happening and the fact that something did happen. So it was with the 18 yo's in a row and so it was with me getting that $100,000 royal so quickly and easily.
And, while we are on the subject... what about the odds of someone breaking up three queens with 3 cards to a royal and actually drawing a royal? Rob Singer did that -- and he has the nerve to criticize DI? That's a laugh.
