This review is from: Winning Craps For The Serious Player, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

I have read many books on Craps and this is one of my favorites. Very easy to read and full of good techniques for realistic play. Combine this book with Schoblete's Five-Step Advantage-Play method and you will be a powerful player.

Do yourself a favor and buy this book for your collection. You won't be disappointed. Also, whatever books you read, download wincraps and use the free software to master your play. It really helps. [..]

2.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous Waste, June 22, 2011

This review is from: Winning Craps For The Serious Player (Paperback)

2 stars for explaining about Craps. It's a joke when he says that he has 25 winning strategies. All the strategies are pass bet (take odds - single,double,10x), use come bet (take odds- single,double,10x), use another come bet with similar odds and wait for the numbers to hit and then take another come bet or press it by one unit. Is this a real strategy? He talks about the same bet with the wrong-way (Don't pass, Don't come) and that's about it (he has covered his 25 winning strategies). If you use his strategy, you will go bust 80% of the time. He also tells stories about how he cheated a dealer in the Carribeans (who did not distinguish his don't pass odds-bet and pressed it to his advantage by combining it with his don't pass bet) and how he got lucky with a woman while he cheated at craps. Ridiculous waste of time. If you know the game and want to improve the strategy, you should buy 'The Mad Proffesor's Crapshooting book' by Tino Gambino and also books by Frank Scoblete and John Patrick. Well, if you are wondering why this book sells for a dollar and shipping is three times that price, you should know better.
