Charting your rolls

[evilo]

Hello everyone,

After attending Heavy's and Dice Coach's Spring Fling in Las Vegas a few weeks ago I have been practising many things. I have been working on my toss, betting statagies, and charting my rolls.

When I can't work on my toss, often times I can look over my tosses and try to find trends, pattern, etc. Yesterday while tossing and working on my bet pressing schedule I threw my third yo eleven for that hand. I had remembered that after my previous yo-11s I had thrown a 9. I double checked my chart for this roll and I was correct. In the couple of weeks of practicing with chips I had never placed a hop bet. Now was the time! I made $5 hop 9 bet and threw a 5-4. I was using the hard way set, and was very pleased to not only make the nine, but also stay on axis.

Today at work I was thinking about statagies, I've been having really good luck with MP'S 204. I just tell my self "NO sevens for three tosses!" Seems easy enough. But what got me thinking was the charting. I've read a lot about it, and people either say it helps, or it doesn't. Dice coach and I had a conversation about things and what it boiled down to was he told me "It's the Sh.t between your ears, nothing else!". Today I was thinking, what if when you see a pattern in your charting, by you noticing it, you make it real?

Einstein said everything is relative, other great thinkers have many theories and philosophies. On this forum as well, I know there are some interesting characters with equally interesting points of view. I guess the question I'm asking is if anybody in here has any ideas on this? If a person says they never chart and it doesn't work , then there you go. You haven't seen any information to create from to try to continue the pattern of your chart.
If you chart, and you say it works, is there any outcome on the dice that you THINK was a direct response from an observation that you made from your charting?

I think many of us here feel this crap shoot is more than stance, grip,swing, release. I'm wondering what other aspect of the game, mental or not, that you guys feel have positively impacted your game

Thank You,

I don't chart, but seeing charts of others has impacted my game in that it gives real life data on just how short most people's rolls are on average.
