well the dice is nothing different from other casino games it is actually easier to win on it as it has smaller house edge

People still play other casino games because they are dumb. Casinos always win, people lose.
so you want to say that all people playing gambling games are dumb even if they win money? i dont think thats true

Usually, the individual who makes the money, getting rich, etc. will be the one who owns the casino. Player beating the casino is possible but still very unlikely.
Unless you are betting just for the fun, (or with play/faucet money) I wouldn't even suggest it.

Don't get me wrong, I do agree with you on that point. Casino's are made to be profitable, and so they will be.

However, for every individual (even the gamblers) a casino can also be profitable. I remember years ago when I and some friends went to the casino for someones birthday. One friend, who has never been in a casino untill then, earned over €400 in fruit machine with only spending about €20.   That is what I was talking about Wink.

(And somehow he does not go often to a casino since then. Although I think this relates more to his (current) financial sitation than a very strong character).

DICE is just addictive for most people. Unless you have a script or method thats profitable, it merely comes down to the addiction of just not stopping.

I really wanna know how to apply those "scripts" in real gaming.

I don't think there is a kind of script that makes it profitable: It all comes down to the way how the dice is programmed. All casino games are programmed in such way that, in the end, the casino actually makes money in stead of losing money. There is nothing to do about that.

Although this does not mean that you as an individual cannot make a great profit. In fact, you can. Some use martingale technics to use on dice games: double your bet if you lose the previous.

It works only if you have almost unlimited supply of money and start very low. You have to understand that for it to work you have to be prepared for at least 20 consecutive losses.

Martingale is less used if the target is say higher than the bankroll. If the player is risking funds to win big, it is unlikely that he will be picking martingale strategy. Reverse martingale would be (moderately) more preferable imo, or he could go like betting at 1% chance and raising the bet by 3-5% or simply not following a strategy at all like many highrollers. All are very risky.

Usually, the individual who makes the money, getting rich, etc. will be the one who owns the casino. Player beating the casino is possible but still very unlikely.

i couldnt imagine how people sell their house for casino..

thats a bit risky right? life and gamble sometimes very daring..talking about dice,is there really a physical dice game available on casino

People dont get to that situation because they want,  and when they bet on their homes, they dont have abything to lose anymore..

They have their house to lose tho, addictions are addictions, there is no logic to it, people smoke when even in the box says clearly that it would kill you, i was just wondering why people decide to get addicted to dice and not other gambling games which, in my opinion are better in every way

if you play dice withiout any money being involved i would be really really surprised.

Take a look at https://doge-dice.com

It is exactly that: dice without any money being involved. It's basically a clone of Just-Dice, but without the crypto.

I don't think I've posted about it for months, or mentioned it anywhere for days, and yet I just peeked in and sure enough there's one guy playing it:

He's playing with worthless play money, presumably just for fun.

Well i might be wrong but probably a lot of people that play there do it to test their ´´strategies´´ but hey if they play for fun and they have fun, good for them

Yes most people are using their bankroll to try a good strategy and try to win what they loss before and I guess most of them are have a great profit too using their own strategy, but I dont know how to spend money is fun  Grin. You lose money and still you are laughing? I dont think that is something good

Re-read the posts you just quoted. We are talking about playing dice for fun only. For "play chips".

Im confused now, i read the posts and i dont understand what you mean, play chips like you play for free but you can win money in return?

I know that you guys are talking about free chip to play. This is just misunderstanding here because from what I know you wont get anything just to play using free chips out there. And from what I know many people are using real money to play dice, some of them are earning from gambling and some of them are trying good strategies to earn. The point here most people are gambling try to win not to lose but the reality in the end the will lose if they dont stop it

It is not just a bit risky but very very risky. But to an addicted gambler, he simply can't control himself and just bet more and more. There are games involving dice in physical casino, such as Craps and Sic Bo.

The same reason people gamble their houses away at casinos. Human condition.
well try to avoid if you need some $$.. it's make you addicted  Wink

But if you have lucky hand you can try it, lose or win on your hands

Play just for fun for some time otherwise you will end mostly lot of money in these betting. Dice site are very easy to start any new users.

i think poker sounds more fair than anything else. Only rake is kinda a deal.
I don't play dice anymore because of more options games for choosing in casino sites ... like Texas holdem poker

Actually, poker is very hard to make provably fair.

Typically the setup is that there's a "house". You have to trust them:

 * to shuffle the deck fairly,
 * not to tell anyone what cards your are holding,
 * not to play against you,
 * etc.

You also have to trust the people you're playing against not to collude with each other (sharing hole card information, playing soft against each other, re-min-raising each other to keep you in a pot, etc.) to gain an unfair edge over you.

So long as you trust the house and everyone you're playing against it's OK. But it's not provably fair like dice sites can be.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_poker for a discussion of how poker could be made provably fair, and the trade-offs required to do so.
