Craps Made Simple

Summary: Basic details were covered in a simple manner.
Review: As a novice I found this book helpful at learning the very basics of craps. To me, the bold print and the drawing were helpful.

After reading this book and going to the casino I found that I could perform basic functions and know what I was doing. What I am desiring after a few trips to the casino is a second stage (an intermediate level) that goes into brief straight-forward details of other bets on the table. I realize these bets are not recommended, but I have seen the table "hot" and nice rewards gained there.

I enjoy the game and I am ahead. If the table is cold (or turns cold) I walk away.

Summary: Craps Made Simple
Review: This book is by far the most concise book I've ever read on craps. The language used made it easy to understand and very easy to implement. On my first trip to Las Vegas, after reading the book, I was able to win at craps for the first time. Thank you Mr. Gallager. You made my trip to Vegas very enjoyable.

Summary: The best book on the subject
Review: This book is perfect because it explains a complicated game in a simple manner. It only tells you what bets work and why, and the math behind these bets. It does not discuss when to make sucker bets, even though they occasionally hit, because the math does not support making them. I have won a lot of money (and lost a lot as well) playing craps, and the system here is designed to help a bettor ride out a cold table. This book does not tell you that you are some mystical genius who will win a million dollars with only a dollar bet, so go act like a hotshot. It just tells you a safe way to play an enjoyable game. I saw a pit boss suggest this method to a very pretty girl at a Vegas Strip casino in order to keep her at the table longer during a cold streak so that all the rich sucker bettors would stay as well. It does not work all of the time, but it does work a lot and when it does not work, you at least play for a longer period of time.
