 Control Shooter September 14, 2007
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
While the substance and advice is excellent, there is an investment required in reading time, to be spent digging out working proceedures.
A good portion of this book is spent glorifing other shooters, as well as the author.

If you want to learn about dice control, this book is for you. The photographs of how to set, grip, and toss the dice makes understanding the technique a whole lot easier. Since reading the book, I've been practicing my dice control but I also had the opportunity to observe and play with the authors several times in different casinos. Their dice control skills are unbelievable and I only wish I could win as much money as I saw them win (and their was no heat from any casino while they played). I'm looking forward to mastering my dice control skills and finally playing craps with an edge over the casino. Thank you Scoblete and LoRiggio for showing the rest of us how to win at craps.
 Good Books, Needs Some Clarification March 28, 2007

There is one major flaw with the whole dice setting and dice control theory; Frank Scoblete is not an expert on physics and his descriptions of why dice control works don't add up. He claims if you throw dice a certain way then certain numbers would show less frequently turning the close craps odds of the good bets in your favor. I definitely buy this and in the 3 times I have gone to a casino since reading this book, I have won all 3. I think my rolls have been slightly longer, but still the science doesn't add up. No matter how close or how far you are from the wall, once the dice hit the pyramid shaped objects, they are bound to randomize the dice roll. This takes away from a lot of what Frank says. However, he claims that you must hit the wall lightly to help dissipate the energy of the throw. I believe that Frank and other heavy gamblers could defintiely find a way to tilt the odds their way through holding and throwing the dice for sure, but I think the reasons why it work that are explained in this book need more work... unless he saves those reasons for the expensive videos he entices you to buy throughout this book. All that being said, it is a good book and an easy read and will dispel certain theories you may have thought were good, but there is no sure fire way for the average craps gambler to beat the house and my recent luck has come from playing certain fundamental odds, betting smart and maybe some minimal dice control.
This book is still recommended though for entertainment value and some decent strategies that may help you, maybe dice control will be one of those strategies!
 Vegas Would Be A Ghost Town! March 23, 2007

After reading this book as I did, you may have a great feeling of confidence and a new interest in the game of craps. Don't get carried away though. There are studies that refute any influencing of the dice by dice setters. The only studies mentioned are by those who are selling dice setter information. The methods in the book are certainly worth experimenting with, but not with your hard earned money. If you have been to Vegas recently its apparent that many people have read this book and are trying out the theory of dice setting. Does anyone think if dice setting took even a tiny part of the casinos profit that it would be allowed to continue? I think casinos love people who have read this book and try to beat the game.
