Craps – A game of skill?

We know that craps has always been considered a game of chance, however if you read Frank Scoblete’s new and expanded edition of Beat the Craps out of the casinos you’ll find there are some skills to the game that a player can use. This revised 190 page craps textbook talks about setting the dice and throwing them in a specific way to help improve results. It even suggests a practice box to sharpen your technique. Another important part of the book is the introduction of the 5-Count. What the 5-Count does is tell you when to bet with good shooters and how to avoid betting on poor ones. Dr. Don Catlin, of the University of Massachusetts, who is a professor of mathematics, backs up the material with lots of hard data. Dr. Catlin is also a consultant that analyzes games for casinos before they place one on their floor. This is an important book for crap players regardless of their current skill level. If you want to win more and lose less, this is a book that you need to read.
