Casino Marketing and Countermeasures ...

Each casino can use from one to 4 types of dice in a week. The resin compound formula in the white pips varies from dice type even within a casino. Even with today's plastics, there are other ways to make near perfectly square dice unblanced. So do you really think a casino would just have 1 type of BlackJack in a casino ALL with the same house edge ??!! ..... then why would you even think that they would only offer 1 game of craps without varying the house edge among the tables .... all too often, you will have some kind of house edge variance between tables. (see http://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/calculator/ )

It's called Casino Marketing 101 .... no different than a retail store having a different profit margin on most items in the store. We learn in marketing courses that the most profitable items are at the end of the aisles and also at eye level, and that the best buys can be found on the bottom row .... same in a casino, usually the back row of tables, or at least not the main corner aisle table.

Sun Tzu gives us 2 valuable lessons in The Art of War. One is in “the Nine Situations”, that if you manage to seize a favorable position, the amount of information that we choose to disclose should be limited ….. thus we cannot disclose on a public forum all we know on how to combat the biased dice that casinos are using because they would simply just make countermeasures.

Second, Sun Tzu tells us that:

Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster

The Gambler's Book Shop in Las Vegas motto is "knowledge is protection." At the store, they have a book by Steven L. Forte for $750.00 called “Casino Game Protection: A Comprehensive Guide” ….. you can also get it on Amazon from about $300. to $1,000.

As explained on this website, there are no technical dice specification laws in Nevada and Forte states in his aforementioned book on page 247:

Quote:

The bottom line: in jurisdictions without regulations that set forth an acceptable range of tolerances or standards, it can be difficult to state when a die is legally acceptable, or when it should be deemed a cheating device.

This vagueness in the Nevada dice laws allows the casinos to have an unfair game and increase the House edge as much as they desire --- just like they did when they started using 6:5 BlackJack to increase the House edge by over 800 percent (see http://www.blackjack-scams.com/html/6_5_blackjack.html )

.... many still think that is ridiculous !!

Albert Einstein reminds us that:

   If at first an idea isn't absurd there is no hope for it.

'God does not play dice' ... and neither do Las Vegas casinos

'God does not play dice' ... and neither do Las Vegas casinos.
— adapted by Harley from Albert Einstein, whose views were summed up in his famous phrase, "I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world" when he became unhappy about the apparent randomness in nature. In nature and in the casinos, you could set up a certain situation, yet the outcome would still depend on chance, and there would be no absolute certainty about the result. Neither Einstein nor the Las Vegas Casinos and Nevada Gaming Board like that idea.


... it seems that even God is bound by the Uncertainty Principle, and can not know both the position, and the speed, of a particle. So God does play dice with the universe. All the evidence points to him being an inveterate gambler, who throws the dice on every possible occasion.
— Professor Stephen W. Hawking 

If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least conceded so much to our imperfect intellect that in order to predict little parts of it, we need not solve innumerable differential equations, but can use dice with fair success.
— Max Born Quoted in H R Pagels, The Cosmic Code

A gambler with a system must be, to a greater or lesser extent, insane.
— George Augustus Sala (1828-95) English writer and journalist

Gambling with cards or dice or stocks is all one thing.  It's getting money without giving an equivalent for it.
— Henry Ward Beecher

A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.

Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster.
