...Larry Edell, editor, The Crapshooter Newsletter

"In Forever Craps, Frank Scoblete shows how using his Five-Step Advantage-Play Method can get players a real-world advantage over the theoretically unbeatable game of craps. Scoblete writes about methods that anyone can use and profit from. I personally tried Frank's methods when I played craps with him at Binions in Las Vegas and was witness to the greatest roll of his life (Chapter 8). The results made a believer out of me!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Another Scoblete Masterpiece, September 19, 2000
By Carl Denham (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
Scoblete goes into a plan for playing craps that takes full advantage of possible rhythmic rollers, which are those individuals who might be able to influence the dice somewhat. It also explains how to practice your own dice sets and throws to minimiize the bouncing and careening of the dice. This will allow you to turn a slightly negative game into a positive game. His section on getting the most from comps can almost guarantee what Scoblete calls a 'monetary edge.' He has an extensive section on the 5 count, which I have been using for many years with great success. What some math guys might find interesting are the insights given by math professor Don Caitlin who examines various ideas that Scoblete brings up such as how much of an influence does one really have to exert on the dice to change the game into a player favorable one. Scoblete also allows his critics to speak and some of them are hilarious! These sections are just plain fun to read.

The book also contains some wonderful stories. One is Scoblete's great roll at Binions in 1999, which really captures what its like to have one of those "monster rolls", and the other is an in depth biography of the Captain. Once you read this, you'll understand why Scoblete thinks so highly of the man. Scoblete once again demonstrates in this book why so many of us thoroughly enjoy his writing. He can mix strategies and anecdotes in a way that no one else can. The book is a pleasure to read but it is also an important one for craps players looking to get an edge!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Was So Simple!, May 13, 2001
By Richard Sasso (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
Sometimes when you have been playing a certain casino game for many years, you might tend to overlook the obvious. That was me with craps. I played a conservative game although on occasion, and after much drink, I sometimes made hardways bets. But I overlooked the thing that often set me to muttering under my breath. Bad shooters! I'd get up on my numbers only to have the shooter seven out! Now along comes Scoblete's book and what does he focus on? Shooters! The obvious! If craps can be beaten it can only be beaten by select shooters. Those are the ones you want to bet on. Those of us who bet every shooter are ultimately doomed to failure. It was so obvious but I never realized it. I would complain about a rotten table as shooter after shooter sevened out after the come out roll. But I never did anything about it. I just played my regular losing game.

With FOREVER CRAPS: THE FIVE-STEP ADVANTAGE PLAY METHOD those days are over. Scoblete's counsel is wise and I have now incorporated every suggestion of his into my craps repertory, and you know what? I am starting to see a mahority of winning sessions.

I want to say this because I think it is important. I am not a dumb gambler. I know the percentages and odds of the various bets at craps and many other games. What Scoblete has shown me is that these can change because of a physical alteration in the dimensions of the game.

I think this book is a treasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Craps Book Ever!, March 9, 2001
By Jonathan Cohen (Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews
Frank Scoblete has written a powerful book. His five step advantage play method hones in on the only real way to beat craps and that is to find and exploit shooters who are slightly altering the math of the game. He goesinto detail about how to find such shooters. if you are looking for a quick fix, this is not the craps book for you. This book will appeal to intelligent craps players who have tried all the other systems and found them wanting.

The book is also a very enjoyable one to read as Scoblete sprinkles personal stories and anecdotes to highlight his ideas. This is a remarkable book but, as I said, it is not for everyone, just those of us who are tired of the same old losing baloney we have been getting for years from other gambling authors. if you are a serious craps player, I think you should make Scoblete's acquaintence.
