\nOver the last year or so I have read a lot of new and old posts and the one thing I have come away with is the importance of regular practice. I have had a problem with regular practice in the last year and have noticed just how long it takes to get back into shape. And in addition I have adjusted my expectations and with that have been much more cautious as to just jumping on a casino table when I get to one. I find that practice in the room prior to hitting the tables is the reality shock I need. <\/p>\n
\tI get out the old ironing board for my throwing station and set up the ice bucket on an angle at the head of the head and oops things don’t look like they are suppose to and how come I’m not hitting the bucket each time? If I have my portable receiving station I get out the note pad and start looking at the numbers. Again good insight as to whether I should even hit the tables or if it looks like I am back in shape.<\/p>\n
\tThat being said if I had gone to the tables without practice and evaluating my throw all I would have had was a confidence killer and a drain on my 401G. I guess what I am saying is that I don’t hit the tables anymore if I don’t have a good idea as to what my chances are. This has been an expensive learning experience but the fact that I am learning and improving makes it more likely that I will be reporting more of those fun rolling experiences soon. And as it says above my practice station at home Because Winning is More Fun!<\/p>\n

When things begin to look good then raise your bets—assuming you are at less that full odds, more odds can be added at any time.<\/p>\n \tAlligator Rose and Doc<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> The Griz on February 10, 2014, 3:46 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Pit Boss on February 10, 2014, 4:58 pm<\/p>\n \tPersonally I have found that when I feel confident, and interchangeable word for practice’d , my betting procedures are just that, procedures, they are not guessing games to see how I am shooting then trying to adjust my betting to that particular session. It is methodical and procedural.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on March 3, 2014, 3:02 am<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> The Breeze on March 3, 2014, 4:10 am<\/p>\n \tIn fact I got so serious about my practice based on some of my recent experiences and I totally rebuilt my practice rig this weekend. I doubled the thickness of the landing station and increased the height of the chip rail\/arm rest and change the clothe to billiard table quality wool and polyester material. <\/p>\n \tNow as soon as the glue dries on the receiving station I am putting the legs back on, installing the new billiard clothe, the back and side boards with pyramid rubber and it is off to practice time. FYI I bought two different types of new table clothe from a craps table manufacturer three months ago and didn’t like how thin they were and how they played so I went with the old school billiard clothe. I will soon see if this was a good decision. Make your luck. practice, practice and look at your numbers. Oh and then practice some more.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> OneMoonCircles on March 3, 2014, 7:05 am<\/p>\n \tI use Sharpshooter’s 120 roll practice sheet with mods. I average 15,000 documented practice rolls a year. That is 2.4 120 roll sessions a week. I do not throw less than 120 in a session. Including the debriefing time it takes about an hour and 20 minutes every time I practice.<\/p>\n \tI get another 5000 practice rolls that are undocumented every year.<\/p>\n \tMonday, Wednesday and Friday are my preferred practice nights. Sometimes I get them and sometimes not. Thursday is my non-craps day, no practice, no study. Try to set a schedule and keep it.<\/p>\n \tGood luck<\/p>\n \tOMC<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> The Breeze on March 3, 2014, 5:17 pm<\/p>\n \tWhen possible I travel with my mini-practice receiving station and log in the numbers just like I do at home. Based on my experience I need four good practice session a week to keep things in synch. Long weekend sessions with data review after each 60 rolls give me a chance to look at trend analysis and how well my grip is performing based on rotations, on axis, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Dominator on March 5, 2014, 1:11 pm<\/p>\n \tit seems to work for me Posted by:<\/strong> Greenskeeper on March 5, 2014, 1:48 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Finisher on March 5, 2014, 11:23 pm<\/p>\n Posted by:<\/strong> Skinny on March 6, 2014, 1:35 am<\/p>\n \tThe number of rolls per hour is dependent on the number of players at the table.

\n\tHow many rolls should I be doing in say month ?
\n\tHow many for a year I know it will vary just want an idea .
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tWhen I took up golf, I used to have a club in the house and I would just grip it so I could get a feel for it. I practice these simple things cause I win more at the crap tables than I do on the golf course. I have to say one thing. Learning the grip and tempo of my throw has improved my putting!
\n\tI remember what Mr. Finness said. We need to spend a few minutes a day just on the grip……<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tI say this because unless you are making other bets and a lot of prop bets which will occur in a real casino setting . Just a thought .
\n\tSo what should the roll time be like for say a 20 roll hand verses a 40 or 50 roll hand .Also full table verses one with 2 or 3 players ?
\n\tI clocked my last session and it was 1min per roll . I don’t know if this is slow or just normal . This is with 3 bets being played and 2 hard way bets retrieving the dice and making pays for wins and losses .Also recording the numbers including hard ways .
\n\tIt seems to slow more if points are made more then if you have a long roll with out making vary many points .
\n\tI realize that a good crew would make a big difference tho .
\n\tAny thoughts out there ?

\n\tThanks Skinny .
\n\tHope there will be more responses from Lurkers .

\n\tSome times I feel that setting the dice to fast draws attention too.I guess every day or pit person is different so need to get a feel as what is better each time .
\n\tMost of my sessions lately have been less then 1 hr. in length for one reason or another .
\n\tGood Rolling. \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n\tI wonder how long it took and how long the roll ended .
\n\tMessed their rolls per Hr. for that shift .
\n\tI heard some were that when the stick gets the dice that they are trained to present the dice to the box man and then turn them so he can see that they have not been changed .Also notice that when they go off the table that they inspect them. All these things take time. But I think to get all those rolls in 1 hr. they must have been just flinging them and fast too.
\n\tMost of the place bets are made after the point is est. also your hard way bets if it is first roll.
\n\tSome hard way betters bet just the point number .
\n\tIf after that 9 was rolled to est a point and the roller started rolling hard ways that roll would get real long in time I would guess .
\n\tI have been at tables were there has been a lot of discussion about hard ways pay offs . When a guy keeps adding to one bet during a long roll .
\n\tWas at a table were this come better would add the ones from his winning to his hard 10 bet every roll that he won a come bet on .
\n\tHe got up to 35 on it and it hit . He said that he wished it happened last night when he got it up to 159.00 but it did en happen .
\n\tSome thing like this slows down the game even when its not being payed .
