I usually try to stay out of these dice control arguments. As has been stated before, I was one and made a living doing so for 15 years or so. I was barred from shooting on more than one occasion. But I am not here to argue its validity. Rather I will point out that just like Kewl would never allow a simulation to be set up to prove he could count two tables (as was proposed), no dice controller would allow himself to be videoed either. Proof---as with all of these discussions there can be no proof.

My worst experience was at Luxor where I had never played. I was at a family wedding and a few of us were playing. I had bought in for only 1/10th of my usual buy in as I was with family that didn't know the extent of my play. When I got the dice I got on a decent roll. Again--I had never played there before and was playing small stakes. The suit asked me for my license--I said no. He said they need it to rate me I said I don't want to be rated. He said that they have the right to identify me before allowing me to play. As we argued I kept making numbers and they kept hassling me. My family didn't know what was going on. When I saw security coming I grabbed my chips and odds on the pass and quickly left in the middle of my roll. I didn't ever get the $10 pass line bet back. That is one reason I don't make come bets.

Later when I met up with everyone again they told me that the suits said I was cheating and to tell me if I set foot in there I'd be arrested. I then had to explain to them what was going on.
