Throwing the dice though? That certainly can be a skill. Just as throwing a curve ball just over the inside corner is a skill. Most people can't do it, but some can with regularity and precision.
So, it's not a skill if you're talking about some random guy who's just mindlessly tossing dice, but it is a skill if somebody spent hours upon hours practicing until he got to the point where he could throw certain numbers significantly more often than odds would dictate.
I know a lot of people who look real goofy trying to swing a golf club. Where the ball lands or whether they even hit it seem to be pure chance. The majority of people don't appear to have any skill whatsoever when it comes to the game of golf. With enough practice though?
The answer to this question depends entirely on who is rolling the dice.

Betting is a skill, being able to know when to stop and when to gamble. Hedging loses and understanding at times the dice go dead.
I am talking about betting from the rail, may have wanted to indicate that.Last edited by no bare feet; 08-13-2009, 08:00 AM.Originally posted by njx9i mean, why wouldn't the broncos take cam newton? they can play him at quarterback WITH tebow!

I have not seen anyone that can pull off a predicted throw yet. Not saying its not possible, but that I have not seen it. If you can throw the dice (and they are not tampered in any way) and know what you will throw, then it is a skill. Otherwise, no

If you don't think it's possible, I don't know what else to say. They are simply two cubes that you have complete control over. They aren't ping pong balls flying around in a machine. You actually toss them with your own hand. Just like a baseball. Just like how people can manipulate a deck of cards. Like I said, when most people toss dice, it ends there. There's nothing skillful about it. But with enough practice, a human being is certainly capable of becoming skillful at it.

Originally posted by duckseason View PostThat doesn't make any sense. That's like saying guns can't misfire because if they could, cops wouldn't carry them. Whether something exists in Vegas casinos has no bearing on whether or not a person can be skillful at it. Many people have the skills to beat blackjack and sportsbooks, win at poker...all these things exist in casinos. Like I said, not everybody is just mindlessly throwing their money around while gambling. There are many people out there who make a living at it. It may be considered cheating to manipulate the outcome of a dice roll, but that doesn't mean it's not skillful when somebody does it.

Poker is a completely different beast. For one, in Poker you aren't playing against the house. The casino takes a rake from every hand, so they don't care whether you win or lose, they still get their money.
You don't have complete control over them due to the shape of the dice. Even rolled exactly the same way, the dice will produce different results. Go ahead and try to figure out how to beat craps, you will have as good of luck as you would trying to beat roulette.I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
