The Captain's Craps Revolution (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Twenty-two bucks is a lot of dough for a book...! But after the first 22 pages, you won't remember what the book cost. In his ususal comfortable style, Scoblete wins over the reader in a very short period of time... Scoblete reviews his 5-Count strategy from a previous book - a tool to indicate when to bet serious money. He also presents his Classic Supersystem and Radical Supersystem...Part of The Captain's Craps Revolution deals with the 'best buys' in craps...Also covered are comps, pit crews, rating systems and tipping. The appendix contains nine useful tables; most show the number of ways to win, money at risk, true odds, house odds, expected win, actual win and casino tax. We liked The Captain's Craps Revolution. It is a top-shelf book for the serious craps player. If you can't beat the casino out of the price of this book in your next playing session, you'd better give up the game!" -- Loose Change Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced Book of Strategies, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

If you want to learn the basics of how craps is played this is NOT the book to read. It assumes you already have knowledge of the game and it assumes that you are somewhat familiar with Frank's first craps book "Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos: How to Play Craps and Win!" which is also available from Amazon.com bookstore. This book is a very advanced book with ideas that are, as the title suggests, revolutionary. Folks who are stuck in the outdated crapsthink that predominates gambling writing by the "experts" might not comprehend the subtle arguments that Scoblete makes but any astute craps player will immediately grasp the rightness of Scoblete's approach to the game. This is a really profound craps book but as I said, it isn't for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book, May 22, 2001

By A Customer

I don't usually rave about gambling books as most are of the same variety and could have been written by the same author. This book is radically different as it offers a method of play unlike any other I have ever enocuntered. Has it made me money? Yes, quite a bit in fact. Craps players have to get it through their skulls that the only way to beat the game is to find the hot shooters and the only way to do that is to have some method for eliminating shooters who are awful. This book gives just such a workable method, called the 5 count. With the betting systems in the book and the 5 count, you will see your bankroll gradually increase as I have done. Great book for craps players.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Go Over the Heads of Many, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

I have to admit that this book does take some care in the reading of it. If you are the average craps player who's just looking to throw his money away on a "good time" many of the ideas and attitudes expressed by the author, Frank Scoblete, will go sailing over your head. if you have played craps and have been consistently losing and you want to change that situation, then give careful consideration to the ideas in this book. They will save you money AND give you a chance to win. The book is a work of genius but it isn't for everyone. Fools won't understand the importance of the 5-Count and idiots won't think the Captain knows what he's talking about. True craps players and thinking craps players will find the information in this book to be a revelation!
