But craps is not beatable.

No one will ever know, but I know on the E:60 show he did, he stated he would slow down if he ever felt the burn. Can't believe to him $500,000 is even warm.

( ) Understands "dice control" is pure fiction.

( ) Understands the difference between "beatable" and is basically a bad push for the players.

( ) Understands that degen gamblers that like to play craps will NEVER JUST BET pass maxx odds their entire lifes.

Take your pick.

p.s. Robl's suckout there is about half as probable as shoving with a one-outer on turn and sucking through on the river.....

I don't doubt u heard this at all. But it is surprising. I remember an interview where they asked PI about why he played such high stakes. He said it wasn't fun or interesting if the stakes didn't hurt a little. As in if he lost it wouldn't be like nothing to him. If I'm not dreaming this all up this interview was at least 3 years old.

If you enjoy the game and the action, and can afford to play - that is not a house edge which makes the game unplayable.

LOL referencepointaments. You dont need that denominator. Taking full odds or no odds at all doesnt change house edge $value or lossrate.
