Best Book on Craps Ever Written!

The latest book on craps written by Frank Scoblete is, in my opinion, the best book on the subject in print. Casino Craps, Shoot to Win is published by Triumph Books.
 
.....by Donald Catlin, Casino City Times

Casino Craps: Shoot to Win guides you through the bets to make, the bets to avoid, the Five Count for keeping your money off the table on short rolls, and plenty of fun stories, a Scoblete specialty.
--John Grochowski, Chicago Sun Times

Quickly delves into the two groundbreaking aspects of Scoblete's craps theories: The "5-Count" and the revelations of what is known as "controlled shooting."
--by John G. Brokopp, Chicago Sun Times Media

"His collaboration with a gambler known to Scoblete's readers as 'Dominator' led to a real break through in craps play: dice control. It took a game that was always thought of as, well, a crapshoot, and gave it a strong element of skill." ... Colorado Gambler

"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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Alright for dice throwers, November 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Casino Craps: Shoot to Win! (Paperback)
For people who are looking for betting strategies, you will not find any in this book. The only strategy they focus on is Pass/Don't Pass and Come/Don't Come bets with full odds. As every craps player should know, Pass line with odds is the best bet, so there is nothing wrong with sitting with this strategy.

But that's as far as the book goes. The books logic on money management is really poor. The author recommends using 1% of your bankroll. As he says, 1% of $30,000 is $300, which I'm sure the majority of players have...or not. He does state that you should bet according to your bankroll, which he is right, and leaves off from there. All other strategy and money management is based on controlled dice, which he does mention that controlled dice throwers still have many losing sessions. This is where the logic just seems to go awry.

Realistically, how many people will ever be with someone who can set the dice? And how many people will work at this method to control the dice? I'm not stating its impossible, but in the book he rants repeatedly about random games, which controlled dice throwers are still throwing random games and has no strategy for playing random games and minimizing losses to keep you at the table. If your aggressive, then this won't bother you.

The author also makes a note about how people following trends are 'dopey'. Yet he, and other authors, like to sell you this '5-count', which is exactly what people who look for trends do, wait for a specific pattern. Its okay to use this so-called '5-count' to monitor how the dice are rolled, but other people who do it are 'dopey'.

Last but not least the end of the book is for setting dice, which is the standard stuff you'd expect anywhere on dice throwing: next to the stick man, proper way to set the dice, how to hold and throw them, and where they should land. A DVD comes with the book, and I thought that was a real nice touch, so bonus points for the inclusion, even if it is 16 minutes long, how long does it have to be to watch someone throw some dice?

All-in-all, its not a bad book. It lists the proper betting methods, and gives reasons for not using other bets. It has a small but decent section on dice setting, and it explains the game in the beginning of the book. The book is good for beginners. I have the author's latest book, and will certainly say it is definitely a step up from this book, but is focused heavily on dice control. If your looking for dice control, these books will do nicely. If your looking for money management with small bankrolls (like the other 98% of us craps players), I would recommend John Patrick's Advanced Craps. The book is more advanced then the beginner book, but he explains the game in the beginning, and most of the systems in the first book are included in this book (because the beginner book doesn't have that many), and the way he approaches money management with his betting strategies is better in the advanced book then the beginner book (oddly enough, the beginner book is more aggressive when you think it'd be more conservative).

5.0 out of 5 stars A must book for the serious crap player, May 31, 2010
This review is from: Casino Craps: Shoot to Win! (Paperback)
If you want to win at craps you must purchase this book. The DVD in the book shows the controlled throw that has made winners out of the authors Frank Scoblete and Dominator and all their students. You will regret it if you don't read this book!
