Tipping the Shooter

21 November 2004

Dear Larry,

Great website. I have read most everything in here and have a querstion about setting the dice. Does it REALLY make a difference? I like to throw at the same speed but never have set the dice in a specific way.

Best Regards,
Alan

Hi, Alan,

Yes, Dice Setting really does make a difference. If you're going to shoot anyway, why not set the dice? I would suggest you look at some books like Frank Scoblete's Craps Underground, Zeke Feinberg's Pre-Setting The Dice, or my book, 101 Ways To Win - At Craps!

Good luck,
Larry

Dear Larry,

What is an appropriate way to tip a good shooter? Throw him a red chip or place a hard way bet, like you would for the dealers? How about if he's too persistant in asking for tips, like this guy in Reno last weekend?
Best Regards,
George

Hi, George,

I never heard of a shooter actually asking for a tip. But if you want to tip a good shooter just get the attention of a dealer, toss him a chip, and say "$5 hard 6 for the shooter!" or something similar. And don't forget to tip the dealers too - they really can help you win more money!

Good luck,
Larry
