That's like saying that the drop, win, and hold at blackjack is proof that counting doesn't work. Sheetwise, I'm surprised that this idiotic logic is coming from you.

What I said was -

"The drop, win and hold play into my belief as well."

It's interesting to note that very few casinos believed blackjack could be beat until the win and hold numbers proved them wrong (ah, the good old days).

Dice setting is unlike card counting, and other strategies that can be simulated. I've never seen a large sample of data from a controlled study. Even then, the range of skill in individual shooters has to be wide.

As I've said before -- I don't know. I simply believe it's unlikely. But then, I've also watched close up magicians perform, and even though I knew what they were doing, I couldn't detect it. It's sure possible.
