This is my first post. I think this is a great forum. I used to play slots but I have been enjoying craps instead. My husband has played craps for a long time and I wanted to join him. I must admit that I discovered I don't like to be on the same craps table with him so we usually play at different tables. I think this has helped with our comps.
I've wanted to play smarter and that is why I've been reading this forum for some time, though I only recently joined. I do get confused sometimes with the different views.
Is there a really good book on craps? What do you think is the best book on craps? What are the worse books on craps? Why?
If you know of several books on craps, then maybe you could rank them by listing the 3 best books and the 3 worst books.
I am wondering if there is going to be a consensus of opinion on this forum and many people will agree on what are the best and worst books.
I hope you will tell us why you think a book is good or bad. But just listing the book is better than nothing. I've looked at Amazon but I don't trust those reviews. I have more faith in what people on this forum has to say.
I did a search on this forum and did not find any other threads that discussed books on craps. Maybe there is and I don't know how to find it. If so, you can refer me to that other thread by providing the link.
It is good to finally post something here. I hope to join in some of the discussions.

But I like books. :-)
I have learned a lot from Wizard's site. I've even read many of the older Ask the Wizard columns. I also think reading this forum has help me a lot.
I was hoping there are good books to supplement what the Wizard has to say and also be told about the bad books to avoid.

Most couples find it helps with the comps and their marriage to play at different tables.
>Is there a really good book on craps?
A book? With most web sites a short summary of the rules is best.
I'd suggest: easy.vegas nextshooter.com VegasMadeEasy.com
And some time on these free practice craps games such are available at many sites including here.
I'm told one of the most entertaining books on craps is a short novella only available on ebay but I can't remember the details.
One woman wrote a book in which she appears to have made several false claims about her craps play and craps employment.
I don't think the books will be all that helpful.

i guess i have about every book or video ever done on craps and by many authors, however i would certainly
get Cutting Edge Craps and Casino Craps by Frank Scoblete and Dominator.
Now alot of people on here question their books because they beleive in influencing the dice , and they make
a profit from that so they tie the two together.. that baffles me, if i am going to spend money for a book i would
rather buy a book from people that have actually used what they write about... and make money.
In most aspects of life if we want the answer we go to the experts.... seems to me craps is the same, these guys
are experts... and as an aside.... i have seen they both throw, they practice what they preach.

Wasn't there a famous gaming author on this site recently? Something about a captain.......

Crapswoman, I can only tell you that the book I got the most out of was John Patrick's book 'Advanced Craps.'
There's a lot of info in those pages; just don't take offense at his writing style / comments.
A craps classic would have to be 'Scarne on Dice' by John Scarne.

The reason why I'd avoid books is because explaining the rules of the game and listing the House Advantage for each bet doesn't take very long. So in order to be longer than a few pages, most books will probably include a craps 'system' that the author advocates (which, IMHO, is useless).
The most important thing to know is that the best bets are: Pass/Don't Pass, Come/Don't Come, and (if you feel like getting a little more aggressive) placing the 6 & 8.

cheaply. It's cheaply TIMSPEED. Gawd!!!! LOL.
If you told me I had to get rid of all my craps books but one, the Scarne on Dice is the one that I would keep. But not as a reference for how to play the game. This book is rich with history about the game and gives you more information than the others.
Many craps books are trying to sell you on a way of thinking when you play the game.
The best way to think when you play the game is 'YAY I WON.'
Don't make any stupid bets (consult the edge per roll reference of the Wizard in order to navigate this pitfall).
Make random bets and have fun. Even if you eventually want to get more serious about increasing the possibility of winning, your time would be more wisely spent thinking about your 401k/ira/etc investment allocation and/or balance.
Just have fun when you play craps is my advice. Be patient, and bet max odds and work max odds more often before making any other bets. Whether on the do side or the don't side, just take all your free bets before you bet anything else and make sure you don't bet more than you can lose at any moment.
