Summary: Advanced Book of Strategies
Review: If you want to learn the basics of how craps is played this is NOT the book to read. It assumes you already have knowledge of the game and it assumes that you are somewhat familiar with Frank's first craps book "Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos: How to Play Craps and Win!" which is also available from Amazon.com bookstore. This book is a very advanced book with ideas that are, as the title suggests, revolutionary. Folks who are stuck in the outdated crapsthink that predominates gambling writing by the "experts" might not comprehend the subtle arguments that Scoblete makes but any astute craps player will immediately grasp the rightness of Scoblete's approach to the game. This is a really profound craps book but as I said, it isn't for beginners.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This Book Gets My Vote
Review: Just add my vote to the reviewers who thought this was a great book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Just Got the Best Present!
Review: My wife just gave me what I really wanted, a complete set of Frank Scoblete's books and tapes on craps. While I have read and reread all of them several times, my copies have gotten beaten up. Now I have a pristine collection: Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos, Frank's first book, introduces the Captain and his marvelous methods of play such as the 5-Count, The Captain's Craps Revolution look more indepth at the 5-Count and variations in betting systems, then Forever Craps creates the ultimate method of play by utilizing 5 basic concepts to actually get the edge at the game.

In addition to these, my wife gave me Sharpshooter Craps, Scoblete's audiotape, and Guerrilla Gambling, the best overall book on the casino games.

My wife also ordered me The Craps Underground, Scoblete's new hardcover book, but that has not yet been released.

I love the man's writing and I recommend him to anyone with the least interest in craps or casino gambling. His books run the gamut from craps to blackjack to even slots and they are all just so well written and instructive and fun to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Winning Method
Review: Read and reread this book. It will make you a winner. I've been playing craps for 20 years and have lost hundreds of thousands. Since I started using the Five Count I have been winning. This book is a great investment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth the Price
Review: Scoblete has written a masterful followup to his first book and a must read for anyone who wants to dig deeper into the Captain's methods of play. The book is ... worth every penny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Definite Classic
Review: The first time I ever read about controlled shooting was in this book in 1993 when it first came out. Now, everyone in craps talks about how to control the dice. Scoblete did it first and has done it best. This great book is for serious players who want to really look at the game of craps with the intention of actually winning at the game and not just pretending to win. Get this if you are a dedicated player. The other books I recommend are The Craps Underground, Beat the Craps Out of the casinos and Forever Craps, two masterpieces by the master himself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Scoblete Hit!
Review: This book came out in 1993 and has been considered by me to be a superior book even to Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos, Scoblete's first book. The reason is that this book is written for people who already know the game of craps. While it is best that you read Beat the Craps first, that is not mandatory. There are excellent strategies in this book that have helped me immensely at the tables.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Advanced but very enjoyable book
Review: This book is not for the novice at craps. It doesn't explain how the game is played, but assumes that the reader already is quite familiar with the game. The book goes into advanced playing concepts from the Captain, a brilliant player who plays in Atlantic City three or four times a week. The book is awesome in its ideas and I think it is a worthwhile investment for those of you looking for something new and unique.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Next Step in Winning
Review: This book should be read after you read "Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos: How to Play Craps and Win!" because it assumes you have some knowledge of the Captain's methods of play. It should be read before you read "Forever Craps" which is Scoblete's latest book.

Both "The Captain's Craps Revolution" and "Forever Craps" are advanced books and will appeal to the serious craps player looking to get a real edge over the casino. Scoblete explains his ideas in detail and to play his methods will take some discipline on the player's part. But I have found that by following the five count and playing first the low roller system and now the high roller system, because I have won enough money to move up a notch in my play, that I am way ahead of the game. I realize that craps is not supposed to be a beatable game but Scoblete's ideas focus on the shooters themselves and he has convinced me that by using the five count you can avoid the very worst shooters and just take your chances with the rest.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For Advanced Players
Review: This is a very advanced book on craps and is not for everyone. I think the ideas presented however are the best i have ever read about anywhere. But they might be very tough for the average player to play. If you are committed to winning and learning a great system of play, then I recommend this book as the best craps book of its kind.
