Summary: Great craps book!
Review: As with all of Frank Scoblete's books I have read, This one is full of good information for playing craps. Even if you don't use all of the system he recommends, it is a fun book to read. I don't get to play as often as the author, but I find his insight into the game of craps the best. Try it if you enjoy craps, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Most Sophisticated Craps Book Ever
Review: Craps used to be considered a game that couldn't be beaten. However, Scoblete shows clearly why that is not so anymore. His five-step advantage-play method is really just that - a serious method for beating the casinos at craps. I recommend this book to anyone who is motivated to beat the game of craps.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Read
Review: I purchased this book and Frank's previous two books, Forever Craps and Beat the Craps out of the Casinos. All three were well written and entertaining to read. I don't bet much money when playing craps and have found these books have given me a way to stay at the tables for a long time with little buy-in. I played for over five hours in Vegas on a two hundred dollar buy-in. I'm still waiting for a "golden shooter" but you can't win unless you're at the table with an available bankroll when it happens. I've seen so many people lose and leave after only 5 or 10 minutes at the tables. This is the real strength of Frank's techniques, his methods give you staying power so you will be at the table with your bankroll intact when a good roll comes along. All of his books discuss the probabilities involved with all of the bets on the layout. Not much time is spent with any bet where the house edge or "vig" is more than a few percent. He doesn't recommend making such bets and doesn't dwell on them. He only discusses strategies built on the bets with the lowest casino advantage. At the Orleans in Vegas when another player kept commenting on my play a dealer asked me not to explain it because, "the doey/don't...smart play, all I need is everyone playing that way". I'm new to craps and casino betting and have found these books to be the best of any I've read. All three are highly recommended and I'll be looking for any other of Frank's books.

Summary: It Was So Simple!
Review: Sometimes when you have been playing a certain casino game for many years, you might tend to overlook the obvious. That was me with craps. I played a conservative game although on occasion, and after much drink, I sometimes made hardways bets. But I overlooked the thing that often set me to muttering under my breath. Bad shooters! I'd get up on my numbers only to have the shooter seven out! Now along comes Scoblete's book and what does he focus on? Shooters! The obvious! If craps can be beaten it can only be beaten by select shooters. Those are the ones you want to bet on. Those of us who bet every shooter are ultimately doomed to failure. It was so obvious but I never realized it. I would complain about a rotten table as shooter after shooter sevened out after the come out roll. But I never did anything about it. I just played my regular losing game.

With FOREVER CRAPS: THE FIVE-STEP ADVANTAGE PLAY METHOD those days are over. Scoblete's counsel is wise and I have now incorporated every suggestion of his into my craps repertory, and you know what? I am starting to see a mahority of winning sessions.

I want to say this because I think it is important. I am not a dumb gambler. I know the percentages and odds of the various bets at craps and many other games. What Scoblete has shown me is that these can change because of a physical alteration in the dimensions of the game.

I think this book is a treasure!

Summary: The Best Possible Strategy!
Review: I have been playing craps for a couple of decades now and I have a firm grasp of the math. I usually make a pass line bet with two come bets and I always take full odds. However, I have been a long time loser as even the best bets at craps have a negative expectation. Despite the fact that I have been playing this game for years I overlooked the main ingredient in trying to beat it, the shooters themselves. I had noted unconsciously that over the years the shooters who had the best rolls were the ones who took some care with their sets and deliveries. But I never acted on this info because I wasn't focused on them as much as I was on my betting.

Now along comes Mr. Frank Scoblete and he does what I should have done long ago. He has made a study of shooters and the idea of "rhythmic rolling" and he has developed his attack on craps based on a five step criteria. Having now played his way for approximately half a year, I can say: Thank you, Mr. Frank Scoblete! You have written the book that we craps players have been waiting for for decades.

Mr. Scoblete has developed criteria for shooters that you bet on, Golden Shooters, criteria for developing your own rhythmic rolls, betting methods to exploit both Golden Shooters and your own rolls, and how to maximize the casino omp systems.

I want to shout this to the hilltops that craps players finally have a really good system to attack this game!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exciting Book
Review: I use the word "exciting" in my title to this review because after years of playing craps and buying just about every book on the topic, including Mr. Scoblete's previous two books, both of which were excellent, I finally found the "method" that fits my craps "madness." Scoblete's five step method consists of the 5-count, golden shooters, developing one's own rhythmic roll, betting appropriately for the kind of shooter you're dealing with, and maximizing the casino comps. It is an awesome book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Third and Counting!
Review: I have read all of Mr. Scoblete's books on craps and other games. This one could be his best because he clearly takes a single aspect of craps, how to get on hot shooters, and works out a system that is successful. At least it has been for me. I have been playing this ever since I received this book as a Christmas present and I have won considerable money. Thank Mr. S!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Craps Book
Review: Of all the craps books I have read, this is by far the best. It is the third one from Scoblete and while the other two were great books in their own right, this is the masterpiece of all time. I agree with the reviewers that have stated that Scoblete has come up with ways to beat craps. The book is highly readable and if you play as he suggests I think you will have a slight edge over the casino in the long run. What more could a craps player ask?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Super Book
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed and, more importantly, I learned so much from this book. Scoblete has created a method of play that is intelligent and, while taking some discipline, promises to the only real, physical way to beat craps. This is a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A True Learning Experience
Review: I have played craps off and on for almost thirty years but I always realized that the house had the edge on every bet and so I had no real chance of coming out ahead at the game over a long period of time. However, reading Scoblete's book has shown me a method that I think can actually produce positive results. This is the third book by Mr. Scoblete that I have read and like the other two, it is deliciously different and offers an intelligent approach for getting an edge at a seemingly unbeatable game. I think craps players will find this to be a true learning experience and well worth the price.
