Alligator Rose and I have been giving this some thought. All serious dice controllers practice. But it has been our observation that many do not practice the way they will play in the casino.

In practice most of the good dice controllers have a good warm up session by working on certainly parts of their throws. Alligator Rose and I like to roll into a mirror at the end of the table, throw into a dish, use tooth picks between our fingers, throw over a small stand, etc or whatever you do to work on your your throw. You get the picture. I know it is hard to do this in the hotel but throwing on the bed can be a pretty good warm up.

Then it is time to play like we were in the casino using chips and if we seven out, start over. It is important that when playing with chips that you do everything exactly as you would in the casino. If you count your throws using $1 chips, place a $1 chips in the exact spot you would use in the casino. As the roll continues know exactly how you will change to red and then to green in your counting. If you use The Big Skinny (TBS) know how you will count your pay days and where the chips will be in the rack so that you know when you will have the number of wins you want before you begin to press. As you start to press, assuming you use a pull and press system, have a plan (with chips) of how you will keep track of a win that will press and a win that will go into the rack. You get the idea. No thinking just doing at the table what you do at home in practice. Let it become automatic with you. You have the 401G, you are not sweating the money, so all you need to do is roll. Make it so automatic that, as Frank says over and over in the class, you don’t have to think. It becomes what you do.

I promise that this will be of great benefit in your dice control career.

Good Rolling. The Beautiful Alligator Rose and I look forward to seeing everyong in the casino soon.

Doc and Rose
