Summary: "Power Betting" is based on "instinct"?
Review: His ultimate craps betting strategy revolves around gut feelings instead of hard facts, and half of the book isn't even about conquering craps.

Summary: Intriguing Betting Strategy
Review: I have yet to use the Power Betting Strategy that is explained in this book, but I look forward to trying it on my next trip. I found the author insightful, with a good deal of anecdotal information to go along with his strategy. If I could find a negative (for me), I felt that too many pages were dedicated to discussing cheating and the mechanics involved. However, his fascination with dice "skill shots" was offset by his firm opposition to cheaters at the dice table. Overall, an excellent read. I found the author's honesty and frankness refreshing, in comparison with those books hawking "guaranteed wins" over the casino.

Summary: They should call it " Destroy the casino's Bankroll"
Review: If everyone in the casino played like the way it decribes in this book they would have to close the craps tables. I have tried the power system of betting the passline and in computer simulations I have walked away with hundreds of dollars and once even several thousand. I have come up with my own system to improve on this system if anyone is interested. I will email it to you for free. It involves also playing 'dont pass' as there are streaks where the dice are ice cold where you can also make bank.

Summary: Excellent betting strategies
Review: The power betting strategy is pays for the book probably thousands of times over. What puzzled me was the absolutely irrelevant information about "scooters" and "sliders" that followed. First half of the book was great....the rest killed time on the 5 hour flight back from Vegas. I wish I had read it going out!!!

Summary: GOOD FOR BEGINNERS BUT BEWARE...
Review: This book gives sound advice on only playing the two lowest house percentage bets, pass line and come line, but does a poor job of explaining the don't pass and don't come. It assumes that everyone is a "right bettor". The advice on setting strict loss limits is very valuable to most players who lack discipline. You will learn to preserve your bankroll if you strictly follow the author's advice to walk away when the rules say so. It's not easy. My main criticism is that the suggested session money is way too low for the style of play suggested. It leaves too much freedom for undisciplined players. The power betting schedule is way too aggressive for most players. Once you get into the betting progression, taking double odds on 4-10's calls for way too much money at risk. This is reckless money management. You might break the bank once in a while, but you'll lose a huge bet on the inevitable 7-out at the end of that hot roll. There are smarter ways to manage even a very hot shoot. And there are better books on craps.

Summary: "Power Betting" is based on "instinct"?
Review: This book is a good learning tool for both betting technique AND proper betting amounts for the exciting game of craps. The "Power Betting Strategy" is great! If you follow it, your losses will always be small, and your wins can be potentially quite lucrative. The only problem with the book is all of its incredibly irrelevant "information" AFTER all of the solid teaching, descriptions and betting strategy. That's why I give it a "7" and not something higher.

Summary: Intriguing Betting Strategy
Review: This book is an excellent tool to help you maximize your profits while limiting your losses at the craps tables. Gives you a good understanding of how to bet more when you're ahead. I read it before my last trip to Vegas and was the only one who came back a winner. Talks about discipline and how to cash in your chips before they're all gone. You have to know when to walk away from the tables and John Gollehon does an excellent job of teaching you how to do this. The most I lost at any one session was $50 yet I won over $400 on one of my 10 sessions. I would have walked away with more (probably $1,000+) but unfortunately I didn't follow the betting strategies exactly as described. I was a little too timid on betting large amounts for the first time. Power betting has you walking away from the table soon after arriving sometimes. But it has you leaving the table with the majority of your bankroll still intact. Thanks, John! The other reviewers are right about the tail end of the book. However the Power betting strategy is well worth the price of the book.
