It has been discussed on this site countless times that you never ask anybody to move their chips out of your landing zone, the reasons are endless. Now if your partner is throwing the dice, and I mean literally throwing the dice, to where the dice are using the entire end of the table bouncing 1 to 2 feet off the wall and going from side rail to side rail it now becomes hilarious that you think asking the gentleman at the end of the table to please move his chips, where are the blank do you want him to move his chips up into his rack. Yes I was fortunate enough to watch a gentleman that set the dice and that’s all he did was set the dice, as he had not one ounce of control his partner asked somebody to move their chips this guys Dice were bouncing from wall the wall the wall the wall. If you need somebody to move their chips you have no control over the dice, because if you cannot control where they land to start with. you have no control where they end up. So have fun enjoy. You know my grandfather used to say go to the show don’t be the show.

Well said. You are correct, if you can't determine where the dice will land you cannot control the dice.

You’ve heard, “Ignorance is bliss”? That is never more true than in Craps.

Most craps players, on the order of 88%, have no real understanding of how to win at Craps. For them, it’s just a roll of the dice. I have even seen a player take great care in setting the dice to hardways, then pick up the dice, shake and rattle the dice around in his closed hand, and fling them down the table. Really?

Of the remaining 12%, they have read, seen, and heard enough to know that there is a way to win at Craps, but almost all are not willing to acquire the necessary skills and then practice enough for those skills to make a difference - that would be 10%, leaving only 2% of all craps players that have a prayer (assuming any know how to pray - I do. And guess what? He sent me straight to Golden Touch.)

Of those top 2%, most of them don’t know or bother to bet according to their advantage, and lift their noses to sneer at the 5-count, all while losing their winnings on random rollers.

Out of that top 2%, I estimate only 0.5% of all players have the knowledge (of Craps, money management, and casinos), the skill, and the discipline (in practicing and betting) to win at Craps. Every one of those are Golden Touch Craps advantage players.

Excluding when I was at a GTC seminar, this means that out of 100 different days, I would see another true Advantage Player on 5 occasions at casinos around the country.

Well said. The point is though there’s no good that can come from asking somebody to move their chips and then if you can’t shoot around chips you have no control so what’s the difference. You can irritate the person in the become your nemesis and do all kinds of things to screw with you. You can irritate the dealer. You can irritate the box man. You could irritate somebody at the table and they’ll screw with you. So honestly please somebody tell me what good can come from asking somebody to move their chips.
