Fifty years at the Craps Tables,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fifty Years at the Craps Tables (Paperback)
"Fifty years at the Craps Tables" by Mr. Stuart is NOT a book about craps. It is ramblings about Las Vegas and various casinos. Apparently, telling stories about casinos and his previous play, mostly all wins, of course, is suppose to be a book on craps. Boring. His craps system?..."Play the pass line and take full odds. After the come out roll, make a come bet and take full odds." That is the entire book! What a waste of my time and money. I recommend this book for the circular file!

Comps,comps and more comps,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fifty Years at the Craps Tables (Paperback)
-I gave this book two stars because the author comes accross as a nice guy and he is a seasoned fellow craps player. The shocking thing that comes out of this book is that after fifty years of experience and dealing with the casinos, Mr. Stuart is still infatuated with comps and being treated like a big shot. Comps are the casinos best weapon against serious gamblers because comps are so appealing and subtle in their destrution of your good intentions. The cardinal rule that all gamblers must keep in mind and one that Mr. Stuart has apparently never learned is, ..If the casino wants you to do something or offers you something, it is almost never in your best interest. Sure take a chit for a free lunch or dinner AFTER you have gambled, but, if you become a comps player you will inevitably find yourself gambling where you shouldn't be and playing longer than you should. This is one of the most valuable lessons that can be handed down to newer gamblers and I'm surprised and shocked that Mr. Stuart never learned it.

Buy for history, NOT for tips on how to play craps,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fifty Years at the Craps Tables (Paperback)
I bought Mr. Stuart's book to learn from his 50 years at craps. I was disappointed with the guidance offered as the vague info could be summarized on a matchbook cover. I gave 2 stars for the interesting anecdotal info on the history of Vegas, but if you're trying to learn how to play READ SOMETHING ELSE. Historically, I've purchased 5 books, and have practiced methods and the best books to read are John Patrick's Advanced Craps book or Craps, the Real Deal : A Guide to Craps Strategy by Vogel. These books cover detailed money management, strategies/systems, charting a table, etc. The book by Frank Scoblete is also good, and different as to offer another strategy.
