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.

Rock Solid, Intelligent, Statistically Based Advice on Craps
I purchased this book as a casual gambler looking to maximize my chances at actually walking away from the table with someone in my pocket. As the author explicitly states in the prologue - this is not a book for those who fail to understand that craps is a game of statistics. Each roll of the dice is an independent chance event. Making money while playing craps should be done in the context of entertainment, and not as your primary source of income. Making money at craps should also be viewed as maximizing your odds in a game of pure statistics. If you are into "hot tables" and dice rolling mechanics, do not buy this book. If you are looking for a very intelligent analysis of maximizing your statistical advantage in a game of pure statistics, this book is absolutely for you. Its well written, smart, and overall a pleasure to read. This is exactly what I was looking for - a "no-nonsense" approach to the strategies (statistics) behind this game. The statistics in the game are as constant as the laws of physic - this author does a superb job of presenting them and translating them into useable strategies. Bravo Mr Orlyn!!! B.W., MD, PhD
