Summary: THIS IS THE FIRST
Review: Scoblete-files, those of us who think he is the master of all gambling knowledge, must read this book. It introduces many of his ideas and also introduces his wife, the beautiful AP. Since Scoblete started writing about his wife over a dozen years ago in a favorable context you can't believe the number of inferior gambling authors who are imitating his style (Bob Dancer comes to mind). When he wrote in dialogue, inferior imitations popped up in Casino Player and a lot of other magazines and websites. But no one, I mean NO ONE, can write dialogue and describe things the way Frank Scoblete does. He is the master of strategies and style. He is the god of gambling writers. This is his first book. Read it and move on from there! Yes, I do belong to his fan club. But that doesn't mean I am not right about what I am saying.

Summary: A Classic
Review: All modern craps ideas such as rhythmic rolling, dice control, the 5 count, the doey-don't start here. This is a classic text for craps players and since its publication the world of craps has seen an explosion of interest in real-world methods to beat the game. I read it over ten years ago and just reread it in conjunction with Scoblete's latest masterpiece Forever Craps: The Five Step Advantage Play Method! The book is a must for all craps players who are serious about the game. Once you've read this book you can tackle Forever Craps, which I consider to be Scoblete's finest book on craps.

Summary: Fun and Filled with Great Advice
Review: I really loved this book. The writing is great, far better than in any other craps book I have ever read. ... The strategies, especially that 5 count, are terrific. This is one book on craps that really has IT.

Summary: Good Book for Beginners and Intermediate Players
Review: Frank Scoblete can take you from knowing nothing about craps to being a very strong player in this book. The most important part of the book concerns the 5-Count and how that can help you avoid the bad shooters and focus on those shooters who have the potential to make you money. It has excellent sections cocnering what bets to make, money management and the mental edge. This is an excellent book and one of the few extremely well-written gambling books I've read.

Summary: An ounce of knowledge is a pound of forsight
Review: Everyone that has read any book on craps have there own particular favorites. No system of play will work 100% all the time. It is a good read with new insight and it is well written.

Summary: Bad advice. Or is there something I'm missing?
Review: I don't believe that the odds change as the dice are rolled. This is where the author and I disagree regarding his 5-count system. He advocates waiting 5 rolls to see if a shooter is HOT. Anyone with a head for odds will tell you if you're playing with fair dice, it doesn't matter. Regarding his do/don't system, I think it has possibilies, but not he way he presents it. For those who have read it, wouldn't laying odds on don't increase your chances for a win? Anyway, if you want a realistic approach, I recommend the "Mensa Guide to Casino Gambling."

Summary: Best book on craps I've read so far!
Review: I have read many craps books. The better ones will tell you to stay on the pass and come lines and place odds bets. This is you're best strategy. You really should ignore everything else because the house odds are too great on them. While you can't completely remove the house's odds, Frank Scoblete's book helps you to reduce them to an even smaller fraction. His 5 count system preserves your back roll but it is with the do/don't system that I think this book really hits on target. Using the do/don't system, I'm able to play in Caesars' with little actual money at risk and I usually walk away a winner. What's the do/don't system? Buy the book and find out. I have won thousands using his methods and I spend very little time gambling.

Summary: Intelligent Approach to Craps
Review: 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.

Summary: One Great System!
Review: The 5-Count and the Supersystem are great. Scoblete has managed to write a fun book that teaches you what bets to avoid, all those Crazy Crapper bets in the middle of the table, and what bets to make. His system of play makes sense and works in a casino. This is a great book for all levels of craps players.

Summary: Too much story telling. Details lost in story context.
Review: As a novice at craps I found this book had too much story (glorifying the captain). I wanted more strategy backed by factual information. I want to know all the bet arrangements, what they mean and their probabilities for success. I have been to the tables about 10 times now. I understand about half of what is played. The center of the table is still a mystery. I believe a book with more details, drawings of positions and less story telling would work better for me.
