Book Description

ISBN-10: 0930911083 | ISBN-13: 978-0930911089 | Publication Date: October 1991

Advanced Craps is just what it sounds like. this book is my favorite because of the power of the Money Management and discipline Theories. there are 131 chapters alone on Money Management. It takes the time honored idea of playing craps and offers a comprehensive and logical way of utilizing the Place Bets as a more potentially profitable way to play craps. this book has everything a player need to compete at the tables and a wide variety of off shooots to each suggested method of play. In short.....it is a MUST read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down the best book on craps!, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: So You Wanna Be a Gambler: Advanced Craps (Paperback)

This is by far the best book ever written on craps. Patrick's style of writing is easy to read and very often entertaining. He gives detailed examples of different systems to use at the table. He not only describes the proper moves to make but also explains the reasoning behind each bet. Patrick briefly talks about the different bets available to a craps players and then jumps right into an analysis of the game. His style involves careful money management and a powerful regression move. By reducing your bet after a win, you lock up a profit and guarantee yourself a winner. Using Patrick's techniques for both right and wrong betting, you'll become a better player. Will you win all the time? Of course not, no system can guarantee you a winner everytime. But at those times when you do lose, Patrick's money management helps you keep the losses down. If you're looking for the big score, this book isn't for you. Advanced Craps is for the conservative player, looking to grind out small consistent wins. If you wanna win more money, bet more! Patrick's book has tought me the three most important words in craps -- Take Me Down. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book about craps, ever!, December 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: So You Wanna Be a Gambler: Advanced Craps (Paperback)

This terrific book is really 600 pages of good, solid advice - everything you always wanted to know about craps! You'll learn over 50 different super systems and John Patrick REALLY drills them into you in his "unique" style (he kind of yells at you a little). But at least you'll remember stuff like I did. Don't be put off by his style - he does it for a reason - he's really trying to help. READ THIS BOOK it may take a while but it's the best book you'll ever read on the game of craps!

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST book of 6 that I've read on craps, October 3, 2000

This review is from: So You Wanna Be a Gambler: Advanced Craps (Paperback)

I bought 6 books to better improve my craps game. This was the best book purchased. It's around 500 pages, and offers the most insight into all aspects of playing craps. This is an Advanced book though and if you're new to craps, get a more basic book to start. Be warned that Patrick uses sarcastic anecdotes, but the wit is meant to drive home his key points. Also recommended, "Craps: The Real Deal" by Vogel and Edell's "How to Make Your Living Playing Craps."
