Craps

[BlindingLaser]

What I googled up seemed to mostly be dice-setting, but mentioned something they called a "whip-throw", which presumably puts enough backspin on the dice to basically keep them on the four sides that are spinning vertically while the dice are getting thrown. Presumably, if you could eliminate even one face of one die on some percentage of your throws you could place advantageous bets, since craps has such a relatively small HA.

In terms of dice-setting, over how many rolls would you have to have a significant difference from the normal distribution to be significant? It would be smaller than the number of required hands in a significant sample size in poker, because there's a smaller number of outcomes, correct?

I guess I'm partially interested because if everybody thinks it's voodoo, there wouldn't be a lot of heat attached, correct? Are you allowed to set the dice in plain view, or is that frowned upon?
