13: Episode 13 - Building a Machine to Test Controlled Dice Throws


Listen Later

Dr. Robert H Scott III, a PhD from Monmouth University, discusses his research on dice control in craps. He conducted two primary studies and built a machine to test the theory of dice control. The first study, titled 'Golden Arm,' aimed to determine the level of control needed to overcome the house edge in craps. The results showed that a little over 8% control is required to break even and potentially be profitable. The second study, 'Paradise Lost,' involved testing the machine to replicate consistent dice throws. However, the results showed that the dice became unpredictable and chaotic upon hitting the table, making it difficult to achieve consistent outcomes. The conversation explores the findings of Dr. Robert Scott's study on dice control in craps. The study involved building a machine to throw dice and analyzing the results using high-speed cameras. The results showed that while the machine was able to achieve some control over the dice, the outcomes were still largely random. Dr. Scott discusses the factors that can influence dice outcomes, such as launch angle, speed, and backspin. He also shares his personal experiences playing craps and the challenges of gaining an edge in the game.
