John Patrick's Advanced Craps: The Sophisticated Player's Guide to Winning
by John Patrick
Customer Reviews
Great book for the advanced craps player, November 17, 2004
Reviewer: M. Radcliffe "bluebird"
John Patrick has a knack for writing and keeps things interesting. He adds bits of humor to it to keep the book flowing. He tells the truth about typical scenarios at the craps table, and what you can expect to win, no boasting or exaggerations here. He's real, and his strategies are very much inline with how one should play. If you really want to perfect your game, pick up his book and don't just read it, study it...he knows many won't like the way he plays, but if you want to play smart, and don't have dreams of winning thousands in a day's play...this is the way to train yourself to play.

John Patrick's Craps: "So You Wanna Be a Gambler"
by John Patrick
Customer Reviews
DO NOT PLAY CRAPS UNTIL YOU'VE READ THIS BOOK!, September 4, 2004
Reviewer: Victor Gordon "bettor2b" (Jerusalem, Israel)
John Patrick forgot more about the game of craps than most of us know. This book will make you a stronger player no matter what your level may be. His advice is invaluable to all gamblers but especially to the non-professional craps player. Even if you've been playing the game for fifty years, you will benefit from the no nonsense common sense observations here. This book will more than pay for itself immediately on your next visit to a casino. It takes you from a kindergarten to a Ph.D. level. The novice can become an excellent player from this one book. Buy it. You'll be sorry if you don't.
Best Book on Craps I have read, December 6, 1998
Reviewer: John Prather (Orange, TX)
This book is great! It covers a number of right betting techniques, then the don't side then a few hedges and finaly puts them all together in a trend system that wins for me at the $5 table. I have won $540 in 4 sessions starting with a $220 buy in each time (I had one really good session, 2 pretty good, and one loss). And I gave back $100 after I had ended a couple of sessions proving that the displine section of this book is the hardest to master. It is tough to quit when you are ahead... really tough. But at least this book can get you ahead. The rest is up to you. I found this book as complex if not more so than his book titled "Advanced Craps". If you want to stop playing stupid, read this book and play by the rules.

Powerful Profits from Craps
by Victor H. Royer
Customer Reviews
Great Book for those who want to learn and Win!, January 26, 2005
Reviewer: Casino Queen (West Hollywood, CA)
I like many casino games, but have only played Craps once, and badly. I was afraid of the game. It looked so complicated. I liked slots better, and also Keno, Roulette, Blackjack. Just about everything in the casino, except Craps. Until I read this book, I thought Craps was just too hard and too risky. That's not it, not at all.
In this book I learned what the pays are, and what the bets are, and how to make them smartly, so that I could play, have a great time, and win. It was so complicated before, but now it is not. It's easy, once you know how. This book is probably the only one that can tell you that in simple language, so that even players like me can get it.
There are many other books about Craps, for sure. I have also read Mr. Scoblete's books, and they are also good. In fact, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Scoblete in Las Vegas not so long ago. Socially, and briefly, but it was great. It turns out that Mr. Royer and Mr. Scoblete are good friends. It's no wonder that Mr. Royer's book is as good as it is. But what I think makes Mr. Royer's book so good is that he is less technical. I mean, Mr. Scoblete is a wonderful author and his works are very good, but I found Mr. Royer's style easier to understand. It made the game more personal for me, so that I could, well, get it. After I read Mr. Royer's book, I was then able to understand and appreciate Mr. Scoblete's work even more, and enjoyed his books as well. So, I think that both Authors should be your choice if you want to understand Craps.
I also think that Mr. Royer's approach is great and innovative, if you actually try to understand what he is showing you. This book made it possible for me to try Craps, and play the game well, and without fear and intimidation. It turns out that Craps is one of the best games in the casino, so it's a good thing to read this book and learn how to enjoy it.
Good luck, and thank you for reading my review.

Craps for the Clueless: A Beginner's Guide to Playing and Winning
by John Patrick
Customer Reviews
Right on the money for beginners, December 27, 2003
Reviewer: A reader
John Patrick is dead on. I love this book because it explains a professional gambler's betting strategy and why in terms understood by a beginner. I knew very little about craps except that I liked the energy of the game. The book was great for explaining the types of bets and the pros & cons of each. The style was honest and very enjoyable. Do not expect to make the big hit with the methods in this book. The numerous small hits may not be as exciting but really add up.
I read the book, downloaded some casino software, and became disciplined with the strategies on my PC. Weeks later I went to Vegas to try my variation of Twenty Two Inside. At the end of the trip my small winnings and ultra-conservative style added up to $350 and I was (very very) lucky enough to take money from all seven casinos I played. I could sense that the macho players were mocking me when I stated 'Take Me Down'. Of course, a couple of rolls later the 7 popped up and they watched the dealer take their money. John was dead on about this too.
