At a 3-4-5x odds table the house edge is only 0.374% so it only takes a slight influence of the dice to overcome that house advantage. So after playing phone tag we finally met on July 22 with three other dice setters at the Bellagio.īefore starting Beau explained that dice setters are not able to control every single throw but only influence the dice towards certain numbers. Until recently I also lived within about one mile of dice coach Beau Parker so there was no good reason to keep avoiding the experiment. Both were agreeable but due to scheduling problems nothing ever came of it. I had previously been in communication with Frank Scoblete and Larry Edell on the subject, suggesting that I be allowed to observe some top dice setters for myself. Wong's comments inspired me to take dice setting more seriously.
