If the hotels have the right to bar you for counting cards at blackjack, I am sure they also have the right to bar you if they think you have a way of rolling the dice in a manner that increases your odds.
Larry Stroman (the expert maker of wooden cubes and dice) spent years working on his dice toss, and even joined a "secret group" of expert dice tossers. He came to me asking for backing and advice, and I told him that when he had it perfected, I would have no problem backing him.
About a month later I got a call from him that he was ready. My brother and I met him at the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin. We arrived in separate cars and came to the table at staggered times and pretended not to know each other.
Larry stood next to the stickman so as to shorten his toss, he set the dice very carefully (and obviously), and he did hit the back wall.
My brother and I were sure that it was so obvious that if it worked he would probably get thrown out. The pit boss didn't say a word and watched with a smile as he carefully set the dice and carefully lofted them, just hard enough to reach the back wall.
So as not to be too suspicious, we not only bet big when Larry was rolling, but also when we were rolling, also, figuring to break about even on our rolls and make big money on Larry's.
We stopped and took a break when we were down $3,000 and he pulled out his notebooks with thousands of statistics proving that he could avoid rolling 6's, and we went back in and lost another $3200. If we had just bet on our own rolls, we would have been clear winners.
I am sure the guys watching from the ceiling were laughing their asses off. I removed my mustache and left. I was very sad (I looked good in a mustache.)
Larry said it was just a fluke it didn't work, and he called me the next week to tell me how much he had won at another casino. I asked him to please stop calling me, and shortly afterward he died.
So don't piss me off.
