Forgiveness Axles

In reviewing the six sets and the sub sets for throwing the dice, twelve, (sub sets) are generally used for the come out roll, and twenty four (sub sets) for shooting for the point. 
The object of “controlled” shooting is to maintain the axle of the “chosen” set. 
If everything was perfect in our throws, the results would be our ability to call the point,
and then roll that number. 
 
It never fails, no matter what many of us have tried in maintaining the axle;
the dice may skew, hit something, or bounce funny.  The end result is that
the dice may end up with a different axle on every throw. 

Since this function generally occurs, the forgiveness routine comes into play. 
Let us assume that you are using a particular set after the point has been established. 
As long as the resulting throw has an axle of either the twenty four (sub sets), 
the number of possible 7’s still remain two.  If the resulting throw 
is of the twelve come out (sub sets), the ending result, the number of 7’s is now four. 

Minor adjustments to the top faces of each dice could be used to “hopefully” 
give the axle ending result a forgiveness routine. 

An addition to this writing will be the statistics from testing the 36 sets with 16 different combinations per set or 567 rolls of the dice. These statistics will be compared 
to the standard as described above.
