How does online craps compare to live craps?

Hi Frank,

I have three of your books and enjoyed them all. Expertise and humor. My question is, if you compared the outcome on rolls of dice in online craps versus the real game do they even seem similar to you? I realize there are no rhythmic rollers online and you cannot use a 5-Count or qualify a shooter. But do the numbers come up online similar to the way they do in a real game? I noticed there seems to be a lot more rolls online where the seven does not show. Also the two and twelve seem to show more online than in the real game. I practice online and I wonder if I am wasting my time.

Thanks,
Ralph

Dear Ralph:

If the game is random online then the game is random. Almost all casino craps shooters are playing a random game, so over time the outcomes of both the Internet and the real game should be close to the same percentages. You might be somewhat more aware of what is happening on the Internet as there aren't as many distractions.
