Summary: Scoblete and Sharpshooter = A Winning Bet!
Review: For years Frank Scoblete has been the premier craps author in the world. The very first book I read by him introduced a concept called rhythmic rolling that I had never thought about. Now, a decade later, rhythmic rolling is known by many names and many players wish they could do it. Scoblete paved the way and this new book in his Get the Edge line by the mysterious Sharpshooter rides the road Scoblete and his mysterious mentor, the Captain, paved. [I sometimes wonder if the mysterious Captain and now the mysterious Sharpshooter aren't just Frank Scoblete psuedonyms.] Get the Edge at Craps is just an incredible analysis of what you need to know and to do to achieve a controlled dice roll. This isn't some mystical formula or betting scheme, rhythmic rolling is a skill and Sharpshooter really teaches you that skill in this book. My guess is that most people who read the book won't have the discipline or take the time necessary to really perfect the rhythmic roll but that those who do will actually have an edge on the casinos. I think if you use Scoblete's 5-Count with Sharpshooter's delivery system, you are going to be a real threat to the casinos. One last thing. It is really great to see such intelligent books on craps. Most of the craps books I've read have been crap. This book is a must for anyone interested in trying to actually win at the game of craps.

Summary: Must Read For Craps Players
Review: Frank Scoblete mentions in his foreword that Sharpshooter has picked up where the Captain of craps has left off. After reading this book TWICE already I have to agree. The only way to beat craps is through controlled shooting, or, as Scoblete calls it, rhythm rolling. Sharpshooter goes into every aspect of how to do this. You learn about the proper grip, the proper dice sets, and how to gently throw the dice so that your sets stay in order. I have to say this book is right up there with Scoblete's book Forever Craps because Sharpshooter is talking about real ways to get an edge on the casinos and not just betting systems. This is a must read for anyone who is the least bit serious about craps. In my opinion, it's an instant classic.

Summary: It Does Work
Review: I have only played craps 4 times and all I know about the game came from books by Frank Scoblete. I read and re-read this book several times, bought some dice and practiced the hardway set and the 3-V set(used by the Captian). I played for 8 hours and had some great rolls, one time rolling 8 four times in a row. My best roll lasted about 10 minutes (seemed like 100 minutes) I made $500.00 my bigest win to date.

Summary: This is One of Two Text Books for Craps
Review: I just took the Golden Touch craps dice control course with Sharpshooter and Frank Scoblete in Tunica, Mississippi. This book and Frank's Forever Craps were the text books for the course. They are must reading if you want to learn the basics of dice control and how to bet on random rollers when they are shooting. I also recommend their course. You can go to their website ... to find out more about it, but don't take the course until you have thoroughly read this book and Scoblete's book. They are both great books.

Summary: Great book to start with but it is only the beginning
Review: I read this book cover to cover in the two weeks preceding a trip to Vegas. It has some great information regarding the game of craps and sharpshooting but definitely has some biases on what part of the table to shoot from and dice grips that could have been approached differently. After getting through the book I setup a small practice rig, rolled and recorded hundreds of dice throws attempting to use this method of shooting the dice. I will say that it does have an effect on the end result because I recorded ratios of how often the 7 came up far below the average 1 in 6. A couple of years ago I started to set the dice (now that I know proper sets these were wrong combos) as well as throw them the same way as possible every time. Which lead me to become interested in anything that could be done to expand knowledge in this area, after getting through this book I felt I understood the concept quite a bit more but was still skeptical of it actually working. I signed up for a private class in Vegas and had some personal instruction along many practice rolls on a real craps table. Using the hardway set (described in the book as 4 4 up and 6 6 facing the outside) I rolled a total of 3 craps numbers out of 200 shots with a sevens to roll ratio of around 1:12 (which is extremely high and will most likely average lower over a longer period of time). The thing that surprised me is the drastic decrease of the craps numbers by placing the 6 and the 1 on the outside of the dice (craps numbers are 2, 3 and 12 - taking the 1 and 6 out of the equation makes it very hard to roll a craps number) with that particular set. I was also able to play in an actual casino with 2 other sharpshooters and noticed we were the only ones who made profits for anyone betting with the dice. The rest of the time we bet against them and counted on the other shooters to 7 out every time. This of course isn't a science (betting on other shooters) since sometimes they will go into streaks. On my last night in Vegas I also ended up shooting 28 passes, made 5 point numbers and came out with a 7 twice when I set for it. Players at the table who religiously bet against the dice actually switch sides on my roll or picked up and left the table all together. I wasn't able to get any of the good positions stated in the book of stick right or left, even one off from either position at any time that night. Which forced me to shoot from the outside hook or corner of the table, I was still able to pull it off to some degree. Even though I had a spectacular hand in one casino, I am still in the infancy stage of sharpshooting the dice which is also referred to as "Dice Control". You will find that you cant really control the dice but you can influence them and decrease your odds of rolling the 7 at the wrong time. I recommend reading this book as well as signing up for a class. The additional tips I learned with the one on one instruction helped me a great deal as well as reinforced techniques in the book. The book really is not enough to conquer the Craps table, but is essential before even starting down this path of craps play.

Summary: No, Thanks !
Review: I was overwhelmed by the rating of this book and had a "B I G" expectation from this book but I was disappointed because of the following reasons:
1) The author discusses the art of physically "controlling" the dice without a real picture !! He added some picture for dice setting but as far as the gripping and shooting is concerned there are only two "free hand" drawing (can you believe ? Amateurish free hand pencil drawing) to "make you understand" the correct grip and throw - two most important aspects of dice control.
2) Why he gave less info on the most critical aspect? Because he conducts a costly seminar on the same topic ($300) and this book is nothing but the "sales pitch" of the same seminar.
3) I found more information on dice setting and dice grip FREE on the following website: dicecoach dot com
Bottom line: You will learn nothing about dice control after you finish this book.
Suggestion : Buy the book "Forever Craps" to learn the game and then take a dice control seminar (if you are serious about gambling and can afford $300 on a 2 hour seminar). Save $10 bucks! This is an ultimate fluff!

Summary: This is One of Two Text Books for Craps
Review: I've read a great deal of material on dice setting and controlled throwing. The early books on this same subject, though not as slick looking, address this topic more fully. If you want the real deal on dice setting and rhythmn rolling, stick with the classic books which started it all, Scoblete, Feinberg and Kononenko. Very disappointed.

Summary: Start Your Education Folks!
Review: The game of craps is no longer a game that can't be beaten. The work of Frank Scoblete in Forever Craps and Sharpshooter in Get the Edge at Craps has shown us that utlizing certain dice sets, grips, and delivery methods, coupled with good betting strategies, the game of craps can be overcome by skilled controlled shooters. Having seen both Scoblete and Sharpshooter in action at the tables, I can tell you that these two have mastered what they preach. As a previous reader wrote, I too have taken a course under the instruction of Sharpshooter and Frank Scoblete. I too have learned the technique. It isn't something that is easy, but dice control can be an acquired skill if you work at it. This book by Sharpshooter is the textbook that you should use for your approach to dice control as it has just about everything imagineable on the subject. If, after reading this book, you want to learn from the masters themselves, you can go to their website goldentouchcraps.com and learn about their classes.
