This past week while I was practicing my dice mechanics I noticed that my throw was a little too hard. As we all know it should be soft. I tried to think of another word to replace throw. So I started to use the word "Toss". In my mind "Throw" seemed more aggressive, therefore causing me to let the dice fly harder. While "Toss" causes me to let the dice fly a lot softer to the landing area. We throw the baseball or football. Both are aggressive forms of a throw. In the dictionary the definition is almost similar. Throw: send through the air from the hand. Toss: throw lightly in the air from the hand. I went to the casino Wednesday as I got the dice the first time, I said to myself a couple of times "toss" the dice softly. On that toss I felt the word go from my mind down to my arm and It worked. By the way I’m not nuts if that’s what you are thinking LOL. Most of my tosses were soft. I did well that evening. In my mind this worked for me. I’m not trying change words that have been used for a long time in the game of craps. It might or might not work for others. I’m not sure if anybody else has had this same subconscious mind game.
