5.0 out of 5 stars I Have Won $225,000 in Six Years with This, May 2, 2000

By A Customer

No system of craps play can be judged on just a few trips tothe casino as luck, good or bad, will determine short-range results. Ihave given this 5 count a six year test of bi-monthly play. I estimatethat I have spent some 2,000 hours playing this system in the casinos of Las Vegas and Atlantic City. I use the high roller system almost exactly as described in the book with just a minor variation or two of my own. I have been comped for everything in addition to winning almost a quarter of a million dollars. Does it work? I say yes. Is it perfect? No. But the 5 count has allowed me to be at tables without losing my money and when the hot rolls come, and they don't ALWAYS come, I make up whatever small losses I have and I'm in the black. I won't make a living doing this but it sure beats losing. I want to publically thank Mr. Scoblete for writing this book and his other book The Captain's Craps Revolution because they have made craps a positive experience for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent Approach to Craps, October 27, 1999

By	Andrew Davis (Arizona) - See all my reviews

Frank Scoblete has written a very intelligent approach to craps based on the supposition that most shooters lose the player money. He discusses a method called the 5 Count which is to be used to decide which shooters to risk money on. It is a brilliant system and a relatively easy strategy to employ in the casino. After reading this book several months ago, I made five trips to the casinos and won on four of them. The 5 Count was a wonderful preserver of my bankroll and I was around for the hot shooters on four of the five trips. This book is the best craps book I have ever read and I look forward to reading his follow up book about the Captain's Craps Revolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book That Keeps On GIVING, October 23, 2000

By	Charles Champion (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

I read this book several years ago an I decided to read it again before reading Frank Scoblete's new book Forever Craps: The Five Step Advantage Play Method. As I found on my first reading, Beat the Craps is a superior book for craps players as it offers a workable method of cutting down on the number of bad shooters that players must face. It also helps to position youself for those few good shooters that come up every now and then. The book gives a general overview o craps for the novice and then goes into Scoblete's methods of play based on The Captain, a famous Atlantic City craps player. It is very worthwhile reading. I then read Scoblete's new book which is just a masterpiece. He really expands on the information in Beat the Craps based on over 10 years of play with the 5-Count method of play. Forever Craps is a must read and if you have never read any Scoblete I recommend you read his books in this order: Beat the Craps, The Captain's Craps Revolution (this expands on the information in Beat the Craps), and Forever Craps which really does offer an "advantage play" system as far as I'm concerned.
