Dice Sets for the Field

Hi, Frank,

I recently saw an interesting article about dark side shooting on the Golden Touch Craps (www.goldentouchcraps.com) website.

Here's my question. Is there any dice set in your opinion (one commonly known or something you or others have created) that is useful for producing field numbers and is also useful for avoiding Big Red? The set I hear is good for producing field numbers is 6/5 - 5/6.

E.Z.

P.S. How have you fared playing the dark side?

Dear EZ:

The Field has a 5.56 percent house edge and you have to be a great thrower to overcome such an edge. I don't recommend going for such numbers as you'll probably wind up a loser. Stick to the low house edge bets that skill can overcome and forget the exotic bets.

I rarely play the Darkside but I do have a description of one tour of play in Forever Craps.

All the best in and out of the casinos!

Frank
