 Not for everyone November 24, 2008
I've tried craps a few times - without much success. I like to gamble but I don't like to lose a lot of money. So this book sounded like it might allow me the enjoyment of gambling without going through what I've allowed myself too quickly. It worked fairly well. I had two sessions at a table. The first one I pretty much broke even. The second one put me ahead by just a few dollars. Sound like a waste of time? Not at all. Neither session had a long favorable run. I saw many players lose quickly and leave while I continued to play. Some may find this boring but I came away with my bank. And next time, maybe I'll hit that lucky streak and walk away a winner. I also became familiar with the game. The author cautions that this strategy isn't for everyone. But it suits me - I like to at least have a fighting chance.
Now I know............ November 13, 2008
I never could fully understand how to play "craps" and always avoided the crap table but after reading "No-nonsense" I can now say I understand it much better and can't wait to try it. I recommend it to the beginner and the experienced player alike. One warning: don't skip any chapters.
Easy to understand October 1, 2008
As someone who had no idea how to play Craps, I now feel confident in myself to play the game. This is an excellent book for a beginner and reading it will allow you enjoy the game more!

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.

Great book on craps. Doesn't try to push some system on you. Just tells you what there is to know about craps and how to get started. He gives you one "system" but is really just a 'way to play the game' not a gimmick that is supposed to make you into a long term winner. Recommended!
