Customer Reviews: Read 75 more reviews... A great book December 18, 2005Stanley Robinson (Illinois) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful I read this book after I read the Scoblete / Dominator Golden Touch Craps Dice Control Revolution! and it is a great companion book to go with that one. The first shows you exactly how these great dice controllers develop the skill to beat the casinos at their own games and this book is the great stories of the great dice controllers such as the Arm, the Captain who has the world record of 147 throws in a row before sevening out, and the Lee Brothers who head a band of professional players. Scoblete is a great writer and these two books are great together. I Know 10 of the People Mentioned in This Great Book August 27, 2005Connie K. (New Jersey) 3 out of 5 found this review helpful Chalon Jackson has written a phoney review. I know ten people from this book as I took a Golden Touch Dice control course. Frank Scoblete, Dominator, Dave the barnacle, Mr. Finesse, Howard the Rock 'n Roller, Stickman, Street Dog, Bill Burton, Jerry Patterson, No Field Five. Two of the above have played with the Captain and one student from the class I was in also played with the Captain - so the Captain is real and not a fiction. You can read about his great roll of 147 at golden touch craps.com if you want. The book was not advertised as the manual for dice control but as the story of the great dice controllers and that it sure is. You will meet the Captain, the Arm, Jimmy P., the Lee Brothers, the great Golden Touch shooters such as Dominator. The last chapter of the book is supremely interesting - a 16 day diary of Frank's adventures (and they were some adventures for sure) in Las Vegas. Don't let shills for other authors guide you away from this masterpiece. Check out all the reviews of the Craps Underground and you'll see that almost all are five stars. This book deserves that many for sure. This is a book of fiction, no mention of craps strategy August 19, 2005Chalon Jackson (Kansas City, MO USA) 5 out of 8 found this review helpful This book is more of an advertisement for Scoblete's other books, his writing buddies other books, and his golden touch craps siminar. This book gives no mention of how the reader can acomplish dice control, which is the reason I bought this book. The book is rather a collection of stories. Scoblete tells of people he met playing craps but he forgets to tell how to play craps. It would not surprise me at all if the characters in the book are made up, especially the Captain, the authors ultimate craps hero. I couldn't even finish this book. It was boring and repeated the same type of uninteresting stories all the way through, and left the reader with no knowledge gained. If you are interested in a good casino book I recomend something by Avery Cardoza or a book published by his company. The Captain rolls 147 Numbers - Dice Control is REAL July 23, 2005Addnam (Florida) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful This book is the great stories of the greatest dice controllers in the casinos, including the Captain, who just rolled 147 numbers!!!! You can read about this great roll at golden touch craps web site under the world records. This book takes you on an adventure into the world of the greatest advantage-players of all time - the Captain, Dominator, Sharpshooter, the Lee Brothers, and the great shooter who ever lived, THE ARM. This is a must for all dice players and those interested in a great book!!!! Adventures in DEFEATING the Casinos July 1, 2005Pitman Leebold (Detroit) 3 out of 5 found this review helpful Frank Scoblete has been involved with dice control since the late 1980s and this book is a culmination of his experiences with the greatest advantage craps players in the world. You will meet the Dominator, the Captain, the Arm, Sharpshooter, Howard "Rock 'n Roller," and many other great ones in this exciting and fascinating book. Scoblete recounts his true adventures in the casinos since the late 1980s, practicing a way to beat the house at the game of craps, dice control. He wrote about dice control in 1991 and 1993 in his first two books and then wrote Forever Craps in 2000. These three books lay the groundwork for the Captain's method of dice control which is featured in The Craps Underground. You will love Scoblete's true adventures on the A&E television show, in his diary of 16 days of play in Las Vegas, in his setting up with Dominator of the Golden Touch craps dice control seminars. This is a book that is a must read for all craps players looking to see what the great ones have been able to accomplish. | |||||||||||
