Question:
Relax Your Brain
"Coach, I practice, practice and do even more practice. I
feel good while practicing and my dice look good,
landing softly at the end of the table right where they
should. My SRR (seven to roll ratio) is 8.5/1 during
practice, but when I go to the casino I am having
problems making money."
This is a common problem and one I often hear. We can
master the correct mechanics, the grips, and all the
things that go along with a correct dice toss, including
correct money management and discipline, but something
happens during live play that sabotages our game.
The change from our own practice environment where we
have no real monies at risk, to the casino environment,
has everything to do with our mind-set. Our focus
changes and we begin to think too much about our
mechanics, our strategies, and the money on the table.
Too often we are our own worst enemies when we arrive at
the tables.
Try to relax and clear your mind. Focus only on the box
numbers right in front of you. Think about the numbers
and visualize hitting those numbers. Bet in your comfort
zone and as you focus on the numbers you are hitting,
the money will come.
Look at rhythm rollers at the tables. Not the random
shooters, but the rhythm rollers that pick up the dice
the same way, with the same loft, landing in the same
spot each and every time. These players are not worried
about anything. They are not wondering if they are using
the right set for the right numbers, - if their grip is
correct, - are the dice splitting. They are just using a
consistent motion for consistent results.
When you get into a rhythm the brain works differently.
It switches sides and goes into a sort of autopilot. You
will begin hitting numbers and the money will come your
way.
I have several students who either don't want to put
that much time into the practice, or maybe they don't
have the time to practice. They know the proper
mechanics for a correct dice toss, but they also have
that carefree attitude. They do not worry about each and
every thing that can go wrong with a toss of the dice.
These students will get into a great rolling rhythm and
do very well in the casino, making money one session
after another.
As a precision shooter, you want your practiced skills
to become second nature, but you also want to attain
that relaxed state that you see in rhythm rollers. Try
not the "think too much”"- just relax and let your
practiced skills take over.
So clear your minds and allow the skills you have
learned do the work. Let it all come naturally and watch
your game change for the better.
Have a great new year everyone and let me know how you
are doing in the casino.

Another 20 minute
roll! I think between that little
modification and adopting your betting tactics,
that this will work well in the long run.
Thanks again! -
