When I go to casinos I normally shoot craps, play poker, and have been known to kill a little time on the Caribbean Stud table. Craps is usually my mainstay. Because of that I will buy a book now and then to look for statistics (on craps) and see if someone has a good ‘strategy.’ I KNOW there are NO systems, but there are some good strategies that will help you discipline yourself as to not get stupid while on a good roll and ways to minimize a loss. I was currently looking at cluster patterns, not systems. Seems like everyone who writes a book wants to skate around the word ‘system’ but goes on to lay out the ground work for their ‘system’. One thing I have found true is casino gambling like walking out on a limb, you can usually make one step and the rest are increasingly more risky and if you walk far enough you will ALWAYS fall off. Casinos make certain of that. All gains are SHORT term. The house wins LONG term, always.

I bought 2 books, one I’d like to warn you about. “Forever Craps” by Frank Scoblete is in my opinion the dumbest book I have ever read (and I didn’t read it to the end). It talks of a 5-step methodology where you basically do nothing for 5 rolls, then bet. The cycle continues. As I read, this is designed to keep you playing longer (for comps). Here’s my counter-system, only bet when a red headed shooter is rolling, and stand there and watch the rest of the time! You can spend all day there! Anyway, like I said I was looking for statistics and there were some (not very useful). In reading deeper, I concluded you could lose money faster only by holding a gun on the dealer and forcing him to take your money!

DON’T waste your money on THIS book! I believe Frank Scoblete, made his money selling books, NOT shooting craps!
