What?

You "ran out of places to throw the dice?"

What exactly does that mean?

It doesn't sound like you were barred from many joints, so you should have kept plying your craft: I know I would have.

Lots and lots of casinos in America, regnis, given the boom in casino construction.

If in fact I'd been earning as good an income as you claim, I'd have kept pouring on the coal, taking my gig on a quasi-permanent road trip if necessary.

Sorry, got to call bullshit.
V. I am not here to please you. I really don't care what you think or believe. I ran out of casinos locally and in Vegas that would either allow me to throw or had tables conducive to controlling. At present in Illinois, there is only one casino on which the tables are to my liking. I also had a life and family that didn't allow me to travel all over the country. The other reasons that went into my "retiring" from dice are none of anyone's business, although a couple of the main ones were boredom, a health issue, and my distaste for smoke filled casinos.

But more importantly, I had long time clients that were at stages of their lives in which they needed my help, and I could make much more $$ in less time and with less stress then going to casinos. I did that for about seven years and now for the last 5 years or so I work part time and play horses full time. Now I have found my perfect niche. So what you thought was a gotcha moment just aint all that.

As to the "need" to know my edge, I still find it unimportant. Some rolls it is a few extra rolls. Some it is 20. Some it is 100. So you tell me the edge. I don't know. But I can tell you I consistently out-rolled the dice. Why do I need to know by what percentage? But I did know that I could roll 8's and 10's, and I bet accordingly. What percentage--who gives a crap.

I will comment no further on the subject and should have known better than to express my initial comments on dice control. I just want to wallow in my anonymity.
I know you said you wouldnt comment further. I will ask anyway. Could you have successfully demonstrated influence on the dice?

P.S. Knowing you could roll 8's and 10's and betting it accordingly would be very easy to figure out your approximate advantage with very little effort.
