Setting for seven or setting for sevens avoidance is the heart of setting dice.

Your average player fumbles around with dice and then fires them down the table with no plan of execution. He or she more than likely will set a favorite number on top with no attention given to what numbers are on the sides of the dice.

A dice setter will set a specific number on top and then set a certain corresponding number on the side of the dice facing him... He or she will pick out a set from the basic six sets based on a certain axis. Three sets have only two expected sevens. The other three sets have four expected sevens. The object of the game is to avoid throwing sevens when shooting for the point.

The best way to do this is to use one of the sets with only two expected sevens. Too many aspiring dice setters get too taken up with chasing the point. They will stubbornly keep using the same set for a certain number until they seven-out. Once you zero in on a set that is resulting in everything but a seven, keep using it. Learn to play using the sets that result in less sevens showing up. Remember that every time a number shows up that is not a seven; you get another toss with the dice. Look at that as a plus and concentrate on your next toss.

Dice setters just starting out have the tendency to use sets that they practice with. This is OK but they don’t adjust their sets to real casino conditions. What works on the practice table may not work in casino play. You may find that your practice set keeps coming up point-seven. There are several other factors that come into play under casino conditions. The hardness of the table is a common problem along with height of toss, speed and length of toss. This “Part 17” is mainly concerned with the selection of sets to provide favorable results.

On the come-out roll we want to use the “All Sevens” set. If you establish a point right away, switch into your best sevens avoidance set and go to work. If your set is resulting in a lot of numbers, don’t change a thing. Go with the flow till those sevens show up. Find a set that works for that particular session and stick with it...

Part 12 will give you an overview of the basic dice sets. Check it out.
