No-Nonsense Craps: The Consummate Guide to Winning at the Crap Table (Purchased on 08/08/2009)
Very informative and instructional. Book provides payout, odds and bets, plently of information to play the game.

Fantastic
This book was just that, No-Nonsense. The author presented the game of craps in a way that a beginner can easily learn. He then gave his own strategy of playing craps that is also easy to learn along with other tips about the game and gambling in general. The author does not set out to claim he will make you rich at gambling. He, instead, presented a way to have fun a craps while also having the chance to come out a winner during some sessions of play. The book is relatively short, but the information is superb for anyone that is new to the game, or even for the hardened player who may be looking at another way to approach the game.

No-nonsene review for quick read
Nice book for the game of craps. The strategy seems sound, though, I attempted to implement it in practice and found my losses building too quickly. Depending on the way the game is going at the table, this may or may not work. It works if there are lots of repeat numbers or at least maintaining fairly even bank roll if lots of 7's are being thrown quickly after a point is established. [...]
