Editorial Review: Product Description: This is the book craps players have been waiting for! For the first time ever, the casinos worst nightmare, the amazing player known as "Sharpshooter," reveals his secrets for getting the edge at craps how to control the dice when you shoot in order to reduce the appearance of certain numbers (the 7!) and increase the appearance of other numbers. If you learn Sharpshooters methods of dice control or "rhythmic rolling," craps becomes not only a beatable game but a money maker for the player! Heres what this amazing book will teach you: How to Set the Dice: You will learn how to arrange the dice before you shoot to maximize the numbers you want and/or minimize the 7. How to Grip the Dice: You will learn how to minimize "release drag" and "finger friction." How to Deliver the Dice: You will learn how to utilize the "3-Cs" of delivering the dice and learn how to take advantage of a 45 degree launch angle to minimize bounce. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This Book Started it All!"Get The Edge at Craps" started a side profession of building craps practice tables for us. It is a must read for serious gamers who want to hit the tables running. (is serious gamers an oxymoron?) Read this book and you WILL have an edge! Rating: - Pretty Good!This book gives you what you need to know--how to grip, properly throw, and aim dice so you can overcome the casino's odds advantage. The author explains all about the house advantage, smart and not-so-smart bets, how to manage your money, and how to prepare and conduct yourself. This is not an overnight success guide--you should expect to put in months of practice and training to get results. There is some mathematical analysis of probabilities and odds, plus an explanation of the physics involved. All in all, the author makes a comprehensive examination of the entire game of craps, without getting too confusing or boring. I will probably keep using it as a reference for improving my game over the next year or so. Rating: - This Book + Golden Touch Dice Control Book = CourseUse this book to compliment the Golden Touch Dice Control Book and you will pretty much have the complete course without the instructors. I read the negative reviews, and let me tell you that this book gives a few pointers that the other book does not have, and it has improved my throwing tremendously. I have been throwing off and on since Augustr 07; in October the same year I shot dice in Vegas and landed a Hardway bet that someone else had placed and won that person quite a bit of money; nothing too serious, but the crowd went nuts! My longest roll then was at least 14 before the 7! I had to stop after that due to personal reasons. Anyways, I began practicing regularly again in July 08. I shoot on a 12"x12" board with a 12"x12" wall with pyramid rubber backing, and land the dice on the board pretty consistantly after reading this book. If you have tried, or try to, throw on a board that small with no side walls, it is hella hard to land the dice; however, like I stated before, I am beginning to become very consistant on having the dice hit the wall and still have the dice die on the board. Believe me or not, its up to you. It's A LOT of hard work, but this works. P.S. I practice at least 2 hours a day, just to give you an idea of how many hours I have invested. I'm going back to Vegas in December and am confident that with a sufficient bankroll, that I will walk away from that trip a winner =) Rating: - Great bookGreat from basic rules to detailed strategy...will be a resource that you will circle back to over time Rating: - Get the Edge at CrapsThis is a fantastic learning tool for vocabulary, odds, percentages, setting the dice, gripping the dice, throwing the dice and betting strategies.
