Travel Craps Table
Craps Table Showing Two Dice Being Thrown Gamble Gambling Hand Towel is great to use in the kitchen, bathroom or gym. This hand sports towel allows you to customize your room with a special design or color. Great for drying dishes, hands, and faces. Suitable to put in any sports bag. The image will not fade after washing. Actually, I misspoke in my original post. I first learned about the discussion of charts (NOT the details of the charting concept) that Thomas Midgley wrote in 'Craps: A Smart Shooter's Guide'. Using actual rolls, the results appear in graphic form in Chapter 11. These must have been the basis of a later book: '7,500 Craps Rolls'.

'The inside numbers (5,6,8,9) ratio only comes into play when the 7's ratios are normal or higher than normal. The higher the ratio
of 7's above 1/6 average, the better the opportunity for earning profits'.
I learned more about charting from the following article by Larry Edell.

I was looking for feedback from anyone who has practical experience in applying this concept by tracking the rolls at a table?
It seems to me that a successful betting strategy could be exploited based on a quantitative expression of these ratios?
Thank you.
I talked to some and they were the dumbest pieces of plastic ever. They said nothing but must have thought they had rolled plenty of other numbers besides 7 after I talked to them. So they then rolled a bunch of 7s on me!
OK, that was sarcasm, but how do you think the author would respond? That the dice know?

I first came across this theory when reading Zeke Feinberg's books. The basic concept he sums up in the following two sentences.
'The inside numbers (5,6,8,9) ratio only comes into play when the 7's ratios are normal or higher than normal. The higher the ratio
of 7's above 1/6 average, the better the opportunity for earning profits'.

But utter bunkum! That whole site is full of crap(s)!
You can chart past results till the end of time, but past rolls (That's all you can chart) give no indication of future rolls (That's all you can bet on)
UNLESS you spend your winnings on a time travel machine. *
'...a successful betting strategy could be exploited based on an ability to bet yesterday, based on tomorrows analysis of yesterdays rolls'.
But then you wouldn't need to chart the results, just bet on the exact outcome that you've already observed tomorrow.
*Nice little paradox there. 'Buy time machine today, from yesterdays massive winnings: Make massive winnings yesterday by using time machine to travel there.'

I'll have more to ask about this book in a later post, though perhaps I am already becoming redundant with gamblers fallacy.

Does he leave himself a note? Perhaps he needs to observe someone else shooting and tell them what to bet?
Thanks to Alan we now know the best time and location one should focus on. I'm not sure if a time traveler could sneak a bet in without messing up the string of 18 yo's or not, perhaps he could just make a deal with Alan prior. But wouldn't that affect the outcome?

But wouldn't something bad happen if he seen himself at the table?☺ I'm not sure what they call that perhaps a temporal time flux or something?

Your 100% correct in saying a successful betting strategy could be exploited if you pay attention
at the table.
Now mind you, the kids on this site will insult your imagination and willingness to
actually put any thought into your bets. They being the brightest stars in the gambling
industry, understand that, dice setting does not work, that every set of dice on a table
is exactly the same and if for what ever reason the table is producing for more 4 or 10s
than would be a normal random outcome, for heavens sakes don't bet them, you need
to bet the 6 & 8 because that is what the math of the game tells you.
There are many things you can do at the table to increase your ability to do better
than the average player.... but you sure as hell don't want to talk about that on
here.
Of course that is just my point of view.

P,S, the kids are also very short on courage, the never want to compare
what they can do with some one else, or what their shot produces when
compared to some one else, and they sure as hell would not want to compare
a 6 months record of their table results... they will discourage you from
putting any effort in your idea.
I'm assuming you are referring to people like Math Extremist, the Wizard, etc..? I'm guessing they prefer not to be addressed as 'kids'.
When the dice setting bug bites you one of the first things players want to do is build some sort of practice rig. I’ve used everything from a cardboard box to an empty dresser drawer as a “practice rig,” but eventually I built a couple. My first efforts were two feet wide by three feet deep. The sides were six inches tall at the front of the rug, running up to ten inches at the back. The back wall was ten inches tall as well. I bought real casino diamond pyramid rubber for the back wall and billiard cloth for the deck. And for the next five years or so that was my primary rig. I even packed it with me when I did seminars on the road.
Eventually I wanted to move on to a larger table, but I just didn’t have room in my house for a full-sized one and didn’t want to give up my garage for one. So, I opted for a “tub” table that’s eight feet long. I would have preferred a ten footer, but the square footage for it just wasn’t there.

Of course, one of the things I considered doing was building my own table. My pal “Grits” built a beautiful ten footer out of maple wood that was a real work of art. Of course, he had the tools and the skills to pull this off. I recall my pal Roadrunner comparing his practice rig to mine one time. He said, “I craft fine furniture. You build shit.” That pretty much sums it up.

If you have the tools and skills and think you might want to attempt to build your own table we do have a set of plans put together by one of our Axis Power Craps forum members many years ago. You’ll find a zipped file with those plans on the link below. Don’t want to build an entire table? Just build one end and you’ll have a heck of a practice rig. It could be a beautiful thing. Here’s that link:
