This review is from: Craps 101: Findamentals and Strategies for All Players (Paperback)
This book was fantastic - easy to read, not too long and filled with all the information any person needs to be able to play the game of craps. If you've ever been confused about the basic rules of craps, or if you want to hone your skills, this book provides basic strategies that will work for all players. I am not a very mathematically inclined person, but I found Dr. Skaff's explanations easy to follow and implement at the casino. This book is a must have if you're going to be taking a trip to Vegas!

Perfectly suited for beginning or advanced craps play, Mar 5 2006
By C. Sohn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Craps 101: Findamentals and Strategies for All Players (Paperback)
This is a very well-written book suitable for easy, enjoyable reading cover to cover or as a quick reference source to freshen up before hitting the casino floor. A must for interested players of all levels.
Dr. Skaff skillfully presents the rules of craps in a very clear, concise and organized manner. Basic as well as more advanced strategies are presented with their pros/cons and "whys". Like all casino games, craps is governed by mathematical statistics. However, the author does not require of the reader an understanding of statistics to comprehend the "whys" of the game. But if the reader is so inclined, the mathematical basis for the recommendations and strategies in the book are provided in the appendices. Finally, the author does not over-hype the game or the potential for winning. Instead, the author shares his love of the game and how best to enjoy it.
Enjoy the book and enjoy the game!

This review is from: Craps 101: Findamentals and Strategies for All Players (Paperback)
I am chairman of the department of mathematics and computer science at a university. Dr. Skaff's book is an excellent resource for anyone teaching probability and statistics. It provides a concrete example of using probability and odds in casino gaming. It is written in an easy to read manner for the beginner yet does provide information and strategies for the experienced player. I highly recommend this book.
