Editorial Reviews

Review

"Twenty-two bucks is a lot of dough for a book...! But after the first 22 pages, you won't remember what the book cost. In his ususal comfortable style, Scoblete wins over the reader in a very short period of time... Scoblete reviews his 5-Count strategy from a previous book - a tool to indicate when to bet serious money. He also presents his Classic Supersystem and Radical Supersystem...Part of The Captain's Craps Revolution deals with the 'best buys' in craps...Also covered are comps, pit crews, rating systems and tipping. The appendix contains nine useful tables; most show the number of ways to win, money at risk, true odds, house odds, expected win, actual win and casino tax. We liked The Captain's Craps Revolution. It is a top-shelf book for the serious craps player. If you can't beat the casino out of the price of this book in your next playing session, you'd better give up the game!" -- Loose Change Magazine

From the Author

The modern world of casino dice play owes everything to the Captain. His 5-Count, his ideas about dice control, and his betting styles have made craps a beatable game. He is the genius that craps advantage players have built their fortunes on.

"The Virgin Kiss," the story of Frank's outrageous adventures in and out of the casinos.

Frank grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Our Lady of Angels grammar school. He attended St. John's Prep high school on a full athletic scholarship for baseball and basketball.

Switching directions, Frank attended college on a full, academic scholarship. In college, Frank boxed ("I was pummeled in my last fight. I have no memory of the last seven minutes.") and wrote for the school paper. He majored in history, literature and philosophy.

In 1975, Frank decided to try his hand at acting ("I've always been a ham!"). In 1979, Frank co-founded a professional touring troupe that played dinner theatres, resorts, and charities. From 1979 until he sold his share of the company in 1989, Frank produced, directed and acted in over 50 plays.

In 1986, Frank was researching the lead role for the hit play, The Only Game in Town - the story of a down-and-out gambler in Las Vegas. His co-star was Alene Paone. They went to Atlantic City to research their roles. "I was hooked. I began to realize that I enjoyed the casinos even more than I enjoyed working in the theatre." Alene and Frank toured in the play for four months, fell in love, and married.

In 1989, Frank sold his share of the theatre company and began his career as a gaming writer with articles and short stories for Win Magazine. In the 1990s Frank became a columnist for Casino Player Magazine and Midwest Gaming and Travel.

With the phenomenal success of his first book published in 1991 - which has subsequently become the best-selling craps book of all time - Frank began a successful climb to the top of the gaming mountain. He is now the most well known, respected and sought-after gaming writer and speaker in the country.

He has appeared frequently on television including the History Channel, A&E where his dice control team defeated three casinos in unedited action, also the Travel Channel, CNN, TBS, and the National Geographic Channel, among others. Frank has done hundreds of radio shows throughout the country.

Frank has two very popular websites: www.scoblete.com in association with CasinoCity.com; also www.goldentouchcraps.com. He has a private members-only website as well.

A charismatic speaker, Frank has been featured at many festivals, conventions and schools where he motivates people to get the "winning attitude."

He has also done "Frank Scoblete's Gamblers Jamborees" at many hotels across the country.

He has given talks at bookstores throughout the country, and also at libraries, charitable organizations, at fund-raising activities and at the Learning Anex.

Frank does about 15 private classes a year in craps where he and his Golden Touch team of dice experts teach players how to control the dice when they throw. One casino executive referred to him and his partner Dominator as the "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of casino advantage play."

His recent DVD is Golden Touch: Beat Craps by Controlling the Dice which shows over 200 unedited controlled dice throws by Dominator, the world's greatest dice controller, best selling author Bill Burton, gaming expert Jerry "Stickman" and Frank himself.

Frank has been a regular contributor and columnist for over 50 magazines and newspapers in America, Canada, and the Islands. He is widely syndicated on the internet. You can go to www.goldentouchcraps.com for more information about him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced Book of Strategies, October 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Captain's Craps Revolution (Paperback)
If you want to learn the basics of how craps is played this is NOT the book to read. It assumes you already have knowledge of the game and it assumes that you are somewhat familiar with Frank's first craps book "Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos: How to Play Craps and Win!" which is also available from Amazon.com bookstore. This book is a very advanced book with ideas that are, as the title suggests, revolutionary. Folks who are stuck in the outdated crapsthink that predominates gambling writing by the "experts" might not comprehend the subtle arguments that Scoblete makes but any astute craps player will immediately grasp the rightness of Scoblete's approach to the game. This is a really profound craps book but as I said, it isn't for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book, May 22, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Captain's Craps Revolution (Paperback)
I don't usually rave about gambling books as most are of the same variety and could have been written by the same author. This book is radically different as it offers a method of play unlike any other I have ever enocuntered. Has it made me money? Yes, quite a bit in fact. Craps players have to get it through their skulls that the only way to beat the game is to find the hot shooters and the only way to do that is to have some method for eliminating shooters who are awful. This book gives just such a workable method, called the 5 count. With the betting systems in the book and the 5 count, you will see your bankroll gradually increase as I have done. Great book for craps players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Go Over the Heads of Many, September 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Captain's Craps Revolution (Paperback)
I have to admit that this book does take some care in the reading of it. If you are the average craps player who's just looking to throw his money away on a "good time" many of the ideas and attitudes expressed by the author, Frank Scoblete, will go sailing over your head. if you have played craps and have been consistently losing and you want to change that situation, then give careful consideration to the ideas in this book. They will save you money AND give you a chance to win. The book is a work of genius but it isn't for everyone. Fools won't understand the importance of the 5-Count and idiots won't think the Captain knows what he's talking about. True craps players and thinking craps players will find the information in this book to be a revelation!
