\nHi!<\/p>\n
\tMy question is:<\/p>\n
\tWhat drills, techniques, etc. do you use to ramp up your practice just prior to a casino trip? <\/p>\n
\tIf you have any, please share as I need some ideas on how to go about doing this as an Advantage player prior to my next casino trip.<\/p>\n
\tThanks! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Posted by:<\/strong> Skinny on February 19, 2013, 10:05 pm<\/p>\n \tOnce at the casino I will have a short warm up in my room just before going down to the tables. I focus on my grip and arm movement. I watch the dice in the air to be sure they are together and rotating on axis. I get my rhythm down so that I can hit the spot on the bed that I am trying to hit. Then I am ready to do battle. Once at the tables, I am prepared and all business.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Timmer on February 19, 2013, 11:39 pm<\/p>\n \tI agree with Skinny’s wise words. I like to stick with my normal practice routine and not change much prior to a trip.<\/p>\n \tHowever, what I will do is adjust my betting practice and intended strategy to match the rules and odds allowed at the casino(s) I’ll be visiting.<\/p>\n \tI like to have "planned my work" beforehand to then "work my plan" in the casino.<\/p>\n \tFor me that is the easiest way to go on autopilot at the tables.<\/p>\n \t \ud83d\ude0e \ud83d\ude0e \ud83d\ude0e<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Goddess on February 19, 2013, 11:57 pm<\/p>\n \tWe do throw on the bed every morning before we go down to the casino. It gets our muscle memory going, and I like to watch the components of my toss to see if they are doing what I want. If something is off, I continue to throw on the bed until I am happy with the way the dice look.<\/p>\n \tGoddess<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on February 20, 2013, 12:45 am<\/p>\n \tI do rev up my practice. I practice 4 X a day the week before I leave. I will do a practice routine where I throw into a bowl. The next routine is throwing SL and SR. I do this because I do not know what position I will be throwing at. It will depend on who I am playing with.<\/p>\n \tThe last two sessions are with chips and a buy in. I will keep a running total of wins and losses through out the week. This reinforces in me that I can always come back from a loss.<\/p>\n \tNow at night while I am in bed, instead of counting sheep, I am counting my rolls at the table. I visualize huge rolls, and people cheering. High fives are all around me. My roll continues until I drift off to sleep.<\/p>\n \tAt the casino as I am heading down to play, I see those rolls again and my arm will actually start swinging. Weird I know, but it works for me<\/p>\n \tDominator<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Goddess on February 20, 2013, 10:50 pm<\/p>\n \tGoddess \ud83d\ude06 \ud83d\ude06<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> brothelman on February 21, 2013, 7:22 am<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> The Griz on February 22, 2013, 1:33 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Mr Finesse on February 22, 2013, 4:48 pm<\/p>\n \tThen I will adjust my practice to meet any conditions this casino may demand.<\/p>\n \tThere are times when I review my notes I may go to a particular casino and will have no intention to throwing the dice because I can not play on the tables at this venue. Example is the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, the rails on thwe tables are to high for me to throw, I can not reach over them and be confortable.<\/p>\n \tSo please start a journal and make notes.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> getagrip on February 24, 2013, 7:52 pm<\/p>\n "Skinny" wrote:<\/strong> When I go to sleep, I will play a game in my head where I make my bets and progressions just as I would in the casino until I fall asleep.

\n\tYour tip reminds me of the visualization I do on my way to the table, and, yes, I’m sure that the security camera in the casino elevator catches some odd poses of me in there… they must think I’m a spastic with the arm swinging out and me smiling! \ud83d\ude0e<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
