Winning Casino Craps, 2nd Edition
Off and On: that’s what you’ll be saying to the dealer at the craps table after you read this book! It means that one of the numbers you’ve had working for you on the board has hit while you were betting the come. The dealer hears this and expertly sets up your next bet while shoving the stack of chips that you’ve just won toward you. Sweet.
And yet virtually no one else at the craps table understands what just happened! Why is that?
The typical craps table is filled with bets that a craps player should never make. And the bets that give a craps player the best odds of winning are *completely unmarked!* Why is that?
It’s because that’s the way the casino wants it.
This book completely dissects every bet on a craps table. It explains the odds of winning for each bet, and then focuses on the bets you should be making, teaching you how to make those bets even though there are absolutely no indications on the craps table for them.
For my money, if you’re going to play against the house, craps is the best game to play. Here’s why: 1) Unless you count cards, your best odds of winning are at the craps table; 2) Everyone at a craps table is typically on the same side of the bet — you’ll never be cheering while someone else is cursing; and 3) You stand when you play, so your feet remind you to take a break.
I’ve been at hot craps tables, where a shooter is rolling the dice for twenty minutes or more. It’s amazing how much money you can win in such situations. The problem is that you never know when a table is going to get hot. This book teaches you how to make your money last while you’re waiting for that streak, and then how to capitalize on it when it arrives.
I haven’t read any other books on craps. When I wanted to learn how to play craps I got lucky and found this book and that’s all I needed. Silberstang writes in a clear, easy to understand manner. There’s enough math to explain how the odds work, and there are numerous diagrams to exlain the craps table itself.
Maybe I’ll see you at a table sometime. You’ll know me as I’ll be the one saying “off and on.” ;-) Rating: 5 / 5
My 1st trip to Vegas I was facinated by craps but to scared to play. In Sept I went again. This time I was as prepared as I could be to play the game. I had read and reviewed web sites and practiced and read this book.
Day one I was nervous as hell, but I played losing a little. Day two I was much better and won $230. On Sunday before I left I went a little crazy and lost it back.
That’s my craps story. This book was something tangible to help me. I refered to it when I wasn’t sure on points.
Over all I say it’s good for beginners and medium players. The pros know the game and probably don’t need it. The craps table is a neat place to be for short bursts of time. I’ll clear my head and get back to black jack. But I know I can play the craps game. Rating: 5 / 5
A Craps table can be intimidating but it won’t be after you read this book.
It begins by eliminating about half of the table and gives a person a plan that evolves along with the confidence of the player. It works – plain & simple. Rating: 5 / 5
Or at least gets it as level as you can. The advice and systems are easy to follow and will help you minimize your losses and maximize your profits at what is easily the funnest game in a casino. Used it to run $40 up to $800 at the Union Plaza one afternoon and it was the best time I’ve ever had in Las Vegas (results may vary…..). Rating: 5 / 5
My experience playing Craps has been hit nor miss and mostly frustration. This book has resulted in a more consistent and satisfying playing style. Using the recommended strategies, of the last six times to the casino I’ve won 4 times, even once and lost once. The one loss would have been a win if I remembered to follow the advice to leave when you’re ahead. If you’re a Craps player I highly recommend this book. Rating: 5 / 5
