Cast is much less used, but there are some cases in which cast is used.
You can cast a fishing rod or net (but never throw a fishing line) You can cast a glance at someone (but never throw a glance) You can cast a spell (colocar un hechizo), but throwing a spell sounds bad. You can cast dice or throw dice.

Cast sounds more poetic and is used in sayings like: cast seeds into the wind.

With these exceptions in mind, throw is generally the word to use.
