4.0 out of 5 stars Covers the basics, but I've read better, February 12, 2006

This review is from: Beat The Craps Table! (Paperback)

This book covers the basics to help you understand the layout, the odds, and the flow of a game of craps. However, I feel that it falls short of other books I have read when it comes to exploring various styles or systems of play. For that, I would recommend John Patrick's books on Craps.

I consider this a 3 star book except for one thing. Chapter 9 (if I remember right) has an excellent chart of odds for the various bets/payoffs around the table. It brings it all together in one easy-to-understand chart. I gave an extra star for that chart gathering up all the information for me in one place.

It's not a bad book. I just don't feel it gave me any new insights to the game.

This review is from: Beat The Craps Table! (Paperback)

Great book, jumps straight to the business and goes over the odds and bets in a logical way without retarded oddball strategies and the boring filler. Says it can be for experienced players as well but i don't think you would get too much new out of it, goes over every bet and odds of the game in detail in an easy to understand format as well as a section on ettiquette and tipping dealers and running private (street) craps. great for getting into the game knowing what you need to know really quick and is about 130 pages.
