The book goes into detail about the Lee Brothers, Dominator, Sharpshooter and other members of the Golden Touch dice control fraternity who have taken the casinos by storm since the year 1991.

This book is a great adventure with great characters. The game of craps has always been thought of as a game that can’t be beaten but Scoblete shows, in wonderful prose, just how these men have done it. There is a great section about the appearance of Dominator, Sharpshooter and Scoblete on the A&E network where the three of them beat the casinos for quite a bit of money and all of it was filmed! Scoblete also has a great day to day diary of his play in Las Vegas.

This is one of the best books you’ll ever read about those few players who can actually beat the game of craps because of their controlled throws. Rating: 5 / 5

there are maybe 10 pages of interesting reading in this book. otherwise, we are stuck with:

(1) minutae only interesting to the author and his friends

(2) endless references to how lovely his wife is, and boring stories about her, her and frank, her and her friends, and her witty little sayings that arent so witty. every passage about his wife is like hearing another boring story from the father of a newborn about how his kid just learned to pick his nose or wash his hands. **YAWN**

(3) stuff that should embarass the author but does not, making me continually wonder about his upbringing and level of education. the writing is sophomoric at its best moments; otherwise it’s high-school level. and stories about saying “hello” to flowers, or how great he looks strolling down the strip in a golden touch craps jacket….all i need is a couple of happy meals and a mullet and i feel like i’ve got a jerry springer guest writing this book.

(4) most prominently, non-stop promotion for golden touch craps, and the author’s website, etc etc. anyone involved in putting out this book– the author, the publisher, the editor– should be wholly ashamed of themselves. promotion is one thing, but trying to disguise it under the banner of real writing is both pathetic and shameful.

Save your money and DO NOT believe the 5* reviews…those MUST be from friends of the author (All of whom seem to be mentioned in the book…as if that should be of any interest to anyone not in this group). Spend your money elsewhere. Rating: 1 / 5

Okay, for those of you who aren’t aware of how craps works, say this three times:

“Craps is a great game, but there is no way to consistently win.”

Still feel like pressing “add to cart”? Say that three times again. Go get a book that tells you how to play, and avoid any book that tells you ‘Ohmygod you’ll win so much’. Better still, just go to Vegas and go to one of the classes, they offer them daily at the big casinos, generally 10am or 11am, and learn there.
