This book does a decent job of defining and describing craps but John Gollehon is a terrible writer. I would recommend Edwin Silberstang's "Winning Casino Craps" as a much better book for a person who wants to win. After reading Silberstang's book, I won over $800. You will not get that from this book.

I went to the casino after reading the book, I didn't feel intimidated at the table. I didn't win all the time but I did come out ahead.
Very basic instructions you can add as much play as you want, I found it best to stick with the recommended bets only.

This review is from: All about Craps (Perigee) (Paperback)

This is a great, responsible guide to casino craps. It presents the basics of the game and educates the reader as to which bets have the least advantage to the house. Thus, the reader learns that some bets are smart and some are "sucker bets".

I especially recommend reading and re-reading chapter four "How To Bet". The author declares, "The small bets are the smart bets!" and adds, "Let the winnings run; lay back or walk away when you're losing." With patience and sound betting, a player actually has a chance of winning big. The author shows the reader mathematically sound betting.
