...a very hot trend at the dice tables for the past few years.

Also known as "rhythm rolling", it means setting the dice in a very precise way in hopes of achieving a specific result.

The key to the system is the ability to throw the dice in exactly the same manner, landing in the exact same spot on the table, time after time after time. Takes a lot of practice.

A couple of interesting books have been written on the topic - one by Frank Scoblete - another by "Sharpshooter" - and there are even classes offered on the techniques of dice setting.

Old timers will argue that the bounce of the dice creates a random result no matter how you set them at the outset.

Practitioners of the technique will counter with the claim that even the slightest (legal) alteration of the outcome can shift the "edge" from the house to the player.
