5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good craps book!,
This review is from: Gamble To Win Craps (Mass Market Paperback)
The book was informative on a lot different playing strategies. Yes I made some money some of the strategies that were in this craps book. Also the author provides you with what to expect when playing craps. Unlike many authors writing gambling books Ellison has a lot of professional gambling experience which makes this book on craps worth reading and referencing. This book is better than most craps books that are currently published.

Mostly hogwash.,
This review is from: Gamble To Win Craps (Mass Market Paperback)
This book goes into a lot of detail, yet tells the reader very little. The biggest disappointments were the many times this WRITER, and I say that because to me he's a full-time "writer" rather than gambler, like Scoblete! (After all, he's a "pro" who lives in Ohio, rather than Vegas or Atlantic City.) Anyway, the many times he delves into some theory based on past results, and tells how he succeeded at this technique, only to be slapped in the face with reality later on, usually quite soon. So why spend the time writing about it??? I can tell you why. FILLER! Pure and simple. This is one of those guys who believes in the "law of averages," which is pure fallacy. Another MAJOR flaw with the book is how he claims to use "craps scorecards" to record his sessions. This may be so, however, when he describes a "day in the life" of his wonderfully free life as a "pro gambler," he does NOT show these scorecards! He just tells you how much he made at the table, then moved on to another table! What a crock. We are supposed to just believe that he made so much on any given day, and the "day in the life" had only an alleged two hours of play, yet he didn't feel it necessary to show ONE SINGLE table event to support his claims. I've read a few of this guy's articles online, and they seemed legit. However, after reading this complete waste of time, I have lost all respect for this clown. Most of his "professional" strategies have names like "The Random This" and "The Random That." Meaning he goes up to a hot table, and if he shooter has 4 as a point, he dumps a quick $100 down on the table and buys the 4. Of course, he won the bet. A few other things I didn't like was how he seemed ignorant of why the house was happy a horseplayer won a large bet, seeming to not know that the house already took it's cut out of the parimutuel pool. And how he claimed to hide his glee at seeing another shooter at the table fail. Isn't the HOUSE the one with the edge? Why express jealousy at another player? It may have been YOU or ME there! One of his customers! There's really not much worthwhile here. I only bought the book because the chapters looked good, and he intended us to be fooled by a quick glance. At one point he talks about holding the dice for 40 minutes, and how much the other bettors made from him. However, he never mentioned making a killing with that roll. Most of his "strategies" are hit-and-run type things, so most likely he didn't make much from such a hot roll. Very, very disappointing. And doesn't seem trustworthy or legit in his writing.

This review is from: Gamble To Win Craps (Mass Market Paperback)
Do not brother to read this book. I have bought a couple of Mr. Ellison's other books and found them to be informative, however this book is not worth reading. The best parts can be found in his other books. For instance his ideas on bankrolls are good, but can be found in all his books.
