Question: What is the best set for a bouncy craps
table?
Typically I won't play on a very bouncy table. Last month
I had a situation where my students were staying at a
casino where the tables are very bouncy. I knew we were
going to shoot there, so I did a little study of how the
dice react on these tables, experimenting with the very
best sets for these types of conditions.
After the class session we headed for the casino and
found an empty table. The minimum bets were $25.00. We
had 14 players, although only three were shooters. One
was at SL, one was SO, and I shot from SR. The dice
started at SL. He made a few numbers and a couple of
passes, and everyone was up several units.
The dice then went to the SO shooter and he had about
the same hand. We were progressing very well, all to the
positive. I was the next shooter at SR. My dice were
landing and turning to the right, both off axis. The
best set I came up with for these conditions was the
cross 6's looking at 5-4. Left die 6/5- right die 6/4-
axis L-4-3, R-2-5. When the dice bounce to the right
with this set, you will get 4/2 sixes. If they bounce to
the left you will get 3/5 eights.
There is nothing bad about setting a point of 6 or 8 and
repeating them. I held the dice for 35 minutes on a fast
moving table, as no one was betting any prop bets to
slow the game down. After it was all said and done,
between the 14 players, we made a combined profit of
$21,000.00. Not bad for a little over an hour of play.
We had a total of three sessions in a day an half, all
winning- no losing sessions.
When going to a casino you may not get the perfect table
or conditions to shoot. So if you want to play, you have
to know how your dice are reacting on the table at that
moment. Under these bouncy types of conditions you need
to throw a very soft- low arch, landing the dice about
4" from the back wall. This avoids too much kinetic
energy and you will be surprised how much longer your
rolls will be.
You will read in books and hear other players say: "keep
the dice on axis". This is wonderful, but still will not
prevent the dreaded SEVEN. Knowing the table conditions
and how the dice will respond is more important because
it's all about 7 avoidance.
Good luck in the pits. Keep you trip reports and
testimonials coming.

roll! I think between that little
modification and adopting your betting tactics,
that this will work well in the long run.
Thanks again! -
