Customer Reviews: Read 4 more reviews... Great book, easy to understand and it works! July 3, 2007R. Chaney 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I am not going to claim anyone can make a living playing craps, but I will say that this book helped me to learn how to play craps. I won $987 starting with $100 in chips the first time I played craps after reading Conquering Casino Craps. I made another $175 the second time I played, so over two days I made $1162, and I only took $200 to the casino. This book is easy to read and understand, and the betting strategy is simple enough that you can remember it and it makes sense. I have had a couple of losing sessions also, but with his strategy for leaving a table I only lost around $18 each time this happened. This book gives a sound education on how the game works and gives you a strategy for taking advantage of a hot table and also for keeping losses to a minimum when a table turns cold. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has wanted to play craps but felt intimidated by the game. I was one of those people, but am now confident in my game play and love the game. GOOD FOR BEGINNERS BUT BEWARE... September 4, 2004Victor Gordon (Jerusalem, Israel) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful 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. Make 50,000 a week with this combo...... November 2, 2002Mark (Milwaukee WI) 2 out of 6 found this review helpful You can make absolute bank with this book and the new book "Get the Edge on Craps: How to control the dice" also found on this site. The book I just mentioned is how to control the dice so you can hold them on average 15-20 minutes every time you step up to the table. Sometimes you can hold them for 45 minutes. It shows you how to set, grip and throw the dice to get predetermined numbers all within 1-2 seconds so the casino does not observe you being a dice mechanic. There are people who do this and make a living at it, such as a person by the name of The mad professor who claims to be a dice mechanic earning 400,000 per year, on dicesetter.com. If you use "Get the Edge on Craps: How to control the dice" along with Conquering Casino Craps you will make about 50,000 per week. In Conquering Casino Craps it has a betting strategy that is devestating to the casinos as it has you betting only the casinos money stating off with 5 dollars with double odds and working your way up to putting down 1,000 on the line with 2,000 in odds all with the cainos money several points later. So it goes 5 with 2x odds, 10 with 2x odds, 25 with 2x odds, 50 with 2x odds, 100 with 2x odds, 100 with 2x odds, 200 with 2x odds, 400 with 2x odds, 600 with 2x odds, 1000 with 2x odds. This may seem like a lot of points, but this can be done at a not crowded table within 10 minutes if you are on a streak, which you will be constantly with dice control as taught in the aforementioned book. Even with random "chickenfeeder" rollers, I have caught hot streaks of 10 minutes where I have made 14,000 using the above betting stategy. Can you imagine what I would make holding the dice for 20 or 40 minutes? These two books are how to break a dice table. You will have heat from the pit and careful scrutiny of your play, so dont take too long detting the dice. As the dice are being pushed over by the stickman, as a professional, be looking at them and in your mind see what you would have to do to set the dice for the proper set so by the time you have the dice, you just quickly set them in one fluid motion and shoot. Good Luck. I am thinking about getting a dice team together and going to hit vegas. They should call it " Destroy the casino's Bankroll" June 25, 2002Mark (Milwaukee WI) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful 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. Intriguing Betting Strategy May 23, 20013 out of 3 found this review helpful 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. | |||||||||||
