pre-casino play routine

Spread the love


What I am asking from anyone who would like to respond is , "What is your preplay routine before going to the casino." I do not do a great deal the whole day but an hour before I go, I will shoot for 1/2 hour. I just don’t know what good it does since when you are ready to shoot 1-2 hrs (travel time or waiting for a spot to open, or both etc.) later it is like you didn’t shoot at all. Should one prepare mentally more than the act of shooting? Professor

My routine is mostly visualization. In my minds eye I am seeing the dice as I grip them, then feel my slow back swing and finally observing them rotating in the air before they touch down.

When I am in the car driving to the casino and I am about 15 minutes away I am gripping the dice with out the dice being in my hand, just getting my fingers ready.

I take Dom’s advice. I like staying in the casino and throwing onto my bed and looking at the dice as they come out of my hand results don’t matter it’s warming up. Like Dom says do baseball pitchers ever come in cold? No. If I am driving straight to the casino I’ll hold the dice in my hand the whole ride 1 1/2hrs and thow some into the trunk I keep a box in there too also a small practice receiver maybe 10 -15 throws

We are too far from a casino to not go and stay several days in a casino hotel. We have a little receiving station that we fits in the suitcase so we can place it on the bed. Not ideal to give a landing like a real craps table, but we are able to see the throw in the air. For a throwing station we use the room ironing board, setting it at about 26 to 28 inches from the floor.

If we have been out of the casino for a several hours and we go to a casino where we are not staying, as we walk into the casino and as I stand at the table while a chicken feeder may be throwing the dice we will visualize the dice being brought to us by the stick man to see how we need to turn the dice to set them, do a mental gripping of the dice, visualize the back swing, forward swing and the dice rotating in the air. This is a help. I may even practice gripping the dice I have in my pocket–I do not take them out of my pocket.

Hope that will give others an idea.

thank you all. I guess the common core is the visualization of the throwing process. So that is what I will do next time I go, on the ride up and before the dice come to me. Professor
