Is random really random

There are tubs, 12 foot tables 14, and 16 and i guess others.

Here we have all of them. It seems you have better control on the shorter tables
than the long. We have decent bounce tables and very bouncy tables and the
control seems to be harder to get with more bounce.

The rule of thumb seems to be that you play on the shorter table because you
have the best control and therefore the better edge if you have a decent
controlled throw. I have been told by several, dont play on a 16 table because you
dont have any advantage… and i expect that is true.

The question i have here just for kicks and giggles is that if you have a controlled
throw or an advantage on shorter tables and say you go to a bouncy table or a
very long table and you have no edge do your results really become random.

It seems to me the answer is no. We still have some control over the dice,
in that we land about the same place, they dont scatter as much as a random guy,
and we may have a little more axis control.
It would also seem a little control brings you closer to a 5/2/ 2/5 or 4/3 3/4 on each
roll than
a random roller would be. If that is true, then when we venture out to tables
that dont fit us as well, we cant just expect to get lucky like everyone else.

I guess the moral of the story is something my dad used to tell me about
deer hunting. The more you practice to become a real good shot, the
more responsibility you have to take only the best shot.
