Basics of Winning Craps

If you've never played before, this is the book you've got to read. It's easy, basic and makes you feel like a pro on the table. I read it, won, and lost, but that's the game. I think this book is so great that I am purchasing it for friends who "would love to play but just don't understand the game." This book makes it easy, you've got to try it.

Read it. Played it. Won.

I had no idea how to play casino craps until I read this book. All bets on the craps table were explained as well as the house's edge on each. Best bets to play and betting strategies were given in clear and easy to understand way. Money management also covered. I used the methods and knowledge to win big in Vegas and on cruise ship. Now craps is all I play. I have won on two week-long gambling vacations out of two week-long gambling vacations. Planning next junket now.

Informative book

(...) I have been playing craps for about 6 mo's and like most, knew the simple typical bets but was confused about the more "exotic" ones. This book clearly defines all the bets on the table. As far as how to play, well the book tells you the odds of each bet and what percentage of the time each number on the dice rolls. You should be able to determine the style you want to play from these numbers. There are many craps books out there that tell you how the authors' play, but are lacking in the specifics of some of the game's details if those details don't pertain to their way of playing the game. This book provides all the rules. Its short and concise. I recommend it if you want to know the specifics of each possible bet on the craps table. If you want to know how someone else plays and want to do nothing more than copy their methods of play, I would suggest a different book.
