This is without a doubt John Patricks best book. If you are confused by the game of craps - read this book! If you play but find yourself losing in the end - read this book! If you think you are a good craps player - read this book and find out for sure! This books money management and discipline systems changed me from a pathetic gambler to one of, if not, the best in the casino. Do not go into a casino again without learning John's money management and discipline systems.

John Patrick is probably one of the most controversial gambling authors in America. My personal opinion is that he is sexist and egotistical --- but if you have ever stood at a craps table for longer than ten minutes, you just can't argue with his Big Four and Little Three. There is a lot of repetition in both this book and the Advanced Craps book, but that's because we gamblers tend to be greedy and undisciplined, and it takes someone telling us something TWENTY TIMES before we get it through our thick heads. Every time I have lost big, it has been because I have violated one of John's cardinal rules. The systems? Well, no system is perfect, so take them or leave them, but memorize the Big Four, Little Three, and all the information that goes with them. (Hopefully, John has worked out his few editing snafu's by now...*grin*).
Best Book on Craps I have read December 6, 1998

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.

Mr. Patrick is a gambling genius! After reading, and FOLLOWING, Johns' systems, I have found they really, really work! In just one week I have increased my winnings 400%! (Individual results may vary) Thank you Mr. Patrick for showing me a way to cut my losses in craps!

John Patrick is, by far, the authority on gambling- especially at the tables. I have gone from loser (big time) to winner by studying his books and methods. John Patrick's Craps contians not only the best approach to craps ever put on paper, but also gives the reader a foundation with which to attack all games in a casino. My personal experience with Mr. Patrick's books has enabled me to master five different table games. I have become known and respected by many casino personal in Reno, NV as a tough player. I win small amounts consistently. Futhermore, the foundation I have recieved has enabled me to actually learn how to be a competitor (and a fierce one at that) at the low-limit poker games in the Nevada casinos. Be forwarned: John's style is like that of a coach. If you are really timid or thin-skinned, it may not be the book for you (then again, gambling may not be for you either). But, if you are a competitor whose desire is to win, this and all of Mr. Patrick's books are priceless!
