\nAfter 3 refresher and 2 video elite classes in 1 year, the most important thing I have learned was how the Dice were supposed to look when they landed.
\n\tWhen I returned from Vegas in October I had confidence ( borderline cocky) in my toss, and my Dice reflected my confidence. Slowly my confidence dwindled as I tinkered with this and that and my dice would occasionally look perfect as I expected each throw to be. ( I showed my kids some of the things that helped me and their throw looked better than mine ). This lack of confidence and the tinkering took over at the casino table, my mind was adjusting each toss, not just doing what came natural from a good practice, but rolling over from my inconsistent practice.
\n\tYesterday morning I realized that my problem was overthinking the toss. I picked up the dice and went through the toss without thinking about each step and bam, my dice were glued together, hitting together, landing within 2” of each other, exactly the way my dice had looked when I returned from Vegas.
\n\tTrip report. I assume from the previous confession that you would expect a great report from my visit to the casino yesterday. That did not happen.
\n\tI took the dice 3 times yesterday morning. Each time going up on 4 numbers and the a 5-2,4-3,4-3 seven out
\n\tYesterday evening I threw 2 times with the exact same results. 5 throws and I never repeated a number.
\n\tThe good thing is I still have my confidence even though the results were bad my dice looked good and I’m ready to go back and try again.

You may want to limit yourself to 2 or 3 numbers rather that the 5 you mentioned—especially during your first roll of a new session at the table. When you see you are doing well you can go to more numbers. Also don’t bet much at all on the chicken feeders. Just a suggestion that may help. Be patient. As Finesse says you don’t want (expect???) to make money on these CF’ers, you want to make money on yourself and other control throwers. <\/p>\n \tLook forward to seeing you and your group in that little Oasis in Northwest Louisiana next month.<\/p>\n \tAlligator Rose and Doc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Timmer on November 17, 2013, 2:22 am<\/p>\n "Finisher" wrote:<\/strong> That was one big thing that I hated when I took the class and the 5\/2 or 3\/4 would roll and the instructors would say that it was a good 7 .Knowing that I would loose the dice if I were in a casino.

\n\tbecause there were 3 of us .<\/p>\n
\n\tway, what he helped me with was exactly what i needed.<\/p>\n
\n\troll, and then expecting it to be good every night and on every table no matter
\n\thow different the tables were that the game had started to be more like work and
\n\tless like fun, and some of the rolls worse, not better.<\/p>\n
\n\thad retired to play more of…well you get the drift.<\/p>\n
\n\t16 roll sooner type thinking, put more fun back in the game and even if the roll
\n\twas not perfect, but i repeated numbers it was a win rather than a loss because i
\n\twas more worried about the perfect roll.<\/p>\n
\n\ti had and i have had fun since the tune up including some real fun evenings including
\n\tthe past Wednesday and Friday nights which were tons of fun.<\/p>\n
\n\tany other sport allows us to be as good as we can be.<\/p>\n
\n\tNFR and BTK saying reach out like the Heisman ,don’t drop your thumb, make sure your dice are square to the table. Randman giving me pep talks in my left ear as I prepared to toss, settling me down, talking me through the toss, Goldfinger saying hit the back wall, do not throw short.
\n\tAnd Dom saying TRUST YOUR THROW.
\n\tI do love throwing dice again, I don’t care to do it by myself at the casino much anymore. Its a little like catching a big fish if there is no one to show it to, who cares. \ud83d\ude06
