Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods
Greek Shot
How it works
An advanced variation of the Whip Shot where the shooter throws a pair of dice against a backboard but controls the outcome so that the bottom die does not turn over after impact. Only a highly skilled expert can execute this shot successfully. The shooter must calculate the exact force, angle, and spin so that one die hits the backboard and slides down while maintaining its face-up number, while the other die may tumble normally to avoid suspicion. The combination of the controlled die and the random die creates favorable odds.
