Can you really control a set of non-bias casino dice in such a way that you can change the odds of rolling certain dice totals in your favor? There are many people claiming that they can control dice such as Frank Scoblete, Steve "Heavy" Haltom, and Thom "Irishsetter" Morgan. This theory has been explained (but not proved in practical application) by means of statistical analysis and analyzing the dynamics of a rigid body (cube) as it progresses through parabolic motion in air. I would like to see Adam and Jamie test this myth as well as explain famous devices of skill such as card counting and betting systems for roulette.

Dice are dicey, and that is about all you can say. There are so many variables in play when dice are rolled in the hand, thrown into the air, and bounced off a board, that prediction and control are impossible.

As for card counting when playing blackjack - read a good book on the subject, there are thousands. If you get good enough at it to tilt the odds in your favor, the casino personnel will escort you to the door and forbid your return.

There are betting systems for roulette. People will sell them to you to make up for their losses at the table.
