How do you properly throw craps dice?

Hey AquaStar5678!

That’s a tough question. Here's a general overview of how to properly throw craps dice based on my knowledge:

• Grip: Hold the dice with your thumb and index finger. Some players prefer to use their middle finger instead of the index. The key is to have a firm but not too tight grip.
• Posture: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart for balance. Lean slightly forward but don't hunch over the table.
• Aim: Aim for the far end of the table. The goal is to have the dice lightly hit the wall and land as softly as possible. This minimizes the randomness of the roll.
• Throwing Motion: Use a fluid underhand motion to toss the dice. Your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle, and your wrist should flick as you release the dice. The idea is to throw both dice at the same time and at the same speed so they land simultaneously.
• Consistency: Try to develop a consistent throwing pattern. This doesn't mean you'll influence the outcome, but consistency can help you feel more in control and confident in your throw.
• Avoid the 7: In craps, the number 7 is often unwanted after the come-out roll. Some believe that by setting the dice a certain way (like having the 3's facing up), you can reduce the chances of rolling a 7. This is called "dice setting" or "dice control." While its effectiveness is debated, some players swear by it.
• Respect the Game: Always handle the dice with only one hand when throwing, and never hide or take them past the edge of the table. The casino is very particular about these rules to prevent cheating.

Remember, while there are techniques for throwing dice in craps, the outcome is still largely based on chance. 

It's essential to play for entertainment rather than expecting to influence the game's outcome significantly.

I hope this answer satisfies your curiosity, cheers!
