I don't bet pass or come as I don't want to cash every second time a number hits. So I give up that small edge and place or buy. I also pound the hard ways. So no--I really can't say what my edge was.
WHY IS IT THAT A FUCKING "DI" CAN NEVER TELL ME WHAT THEIR APPROXIMATE EDGE IS? WTF IS THAT ALL ABOUT? Sorry, I'm not yelling at you. You don't know how many times I have asked that to a supposed DI, and yet, no one can ever come up with anything.

When I was practicing long, long ago(before the big craze, books, TV, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY BEFORE THE SLOW-MO-VIDEO ). I was skeptical, but I gave it a try since we had a real table from a real casino where they still had the same tables. How can you get better than that? The people I was with at least knew what their edge supposedly was when they made a bet. You have always been respectful to me and most everyone, I would like to keep it that way, but I have a few questions.

Highly skeptical you made a living via DI for 15 years. Please do elaberate.
I can't tell you what my edge was because I honestly never attempted to determine same. Once I felt that I was accomplished enough to put it to use, it was simply a matter of knowing that if I rolled the dice, we won. I understand that those of you that worship the math won't understand that the math didn't matter to me. I simply knew I could out roll the math. Putting a number on that was probably beyond me but also unnecessary.

RS asked if we had a team. The answer is no. I had one person that would stand in the corner to which I threw the dice so as to always have a clean landing area. On some tables where the pass line is too close to the wall, it was easy to hit the odds on the pass line right where I was throwing. So we always had him take that spot. He can't throw the dice for shit tho I tried to work with him for years.

I went back to work about 7 years ago after I ran out of places to throw the dice. I have played dice only casually a few times since and make no attempt at dice control as I have definitely lost my stroke. I don't have the time to practice again and the tables have too much bounce these days anyway. See Alan's thread on Caesars tables.
