Do you know of any strategies or concepts that center on the player and not the dice?

Dear Frank:

Hi, my name is Shawn and I have been playing and studying craps for a few years now. I am an economics student and therefore have a love of charts and graphs.

I am in the middle of coming up with a very different theory on craps. I call it "player probability." It rests on certain assumptions that I don't really have the time to explain right now but it is centered on my findings of player positions at the table.

I have found that at certain positions on the table players are more prone to either go on a good roll or seven out quickly (this includes the assumption of dice control). Betting is also a key part of the success of my findings (I play both ways).

Anyway, do you know of any strategies or concepts that center on the player and not the dice?

Thanks,
Shawn

Dear Shawn:

I know of no betting system concerning where a player stands except to help individuals make their bets - such as new players being in the corners so the dealer can talk to them about how too play the game or Darksiders staying out of the middle of the table so they can be less noticeable.

So your ideas might be new.

But I would tend to think that unless you do massive research you are putting out a theory that is probably not true. If you have taken into account dice controllers then this would explain some table-positioning wins and losses.

I wish you luck in your findings and theorizing.
