So, it's all right to shoot craps left handed, right? I mean, really, that's a real question, but what's the scoop? Where do you stand on shooting dice left handed?
If I'm getting redundant, it's because a very nice lady at the craps game in the Aria the other night wanted to know how to shoot the dice - literally send 'em flying, and she and her boyfriend argued over which hand to use. So silly - use the lucky hand!
Personally, I can't shoot left-handed. Bowling, eating, writing, but not rolling the bones, oh no! No lefty, not for me. I shoot only right-handed, and I can't shoot backhanded. I want to either shoot from the right hand side of the table to the left with a sidearm motion, or I want to lob the dice form the far end of the table.
Why? Because the only great hands I've ever thrown have come that way. I'm terrible backhanded.
Sorry for the editorial, but that's the truth. Now the lady with the question, well, she was in a typically short Las Vegas outfit and high heels. And, she told her boyfriend she would shoot left handed or he could go to their room and use whichever hand he wanted, but she was staying at the craps table.
The cool part is that he sulked and went to a roulette wheel and she shot a half-hour hand and everybody got real healthy chip-wise. So, I love lefties, but I gotta know, how do you shoot?

The way I shoot dice depends upon where I am placed at the table. I am dominant left but I shoot both ways. I’ve had good hands using either. If you play enough years the sessions, just like the dice, seem to even out.
