Some craps players
have dozens, if not hundreds, of questions about
their favorite game. So many myths exist in craps,
so much ritual and history, so many bets and combinations
of bets, that knowing it all is a seemingly daunting
task. That’s why craps books are the second
leading sellers in the bookstores and on the Internet
behind blackjack books. Some craps players are hungry
for as much information as they can get, realizing
that the more they know, the better they will be
off economically when they tackle the casinos.
Some
other craps players, on the other hand, think they know
everything there is to know about the game -- having
never read a thing about it -- and are quick to tell
you, and everyone around you, what they know. Thankfully,
this doesn’t take too long, even if it is loud.
So which are you? The thoughtful inquirer or the pompous
pontificator? If you are the former, you will rejoice
as a new book has just come out specifically designed
to answer
your questions about
this fast-paced and exciting casino game. If you
are the latter, well, you know everything anyway
and what you don’t know isn’t worth knowing,
now, is it?
So, for those of you with a serious interest in
craps, and a host of questions about this fabulous
game, The Craps Answer Book [Bonus Books, $13.95]
is a must-have addition to your gambling library.
It’s by gaming expert John Grochowski, author
of the best-selling “answer book” series,
The Casino Answer Book, The Slot Machine Answer
Book, and The Video Poker Answer Book.
The book is thorough, well-researched and well-written,
which is true of all Grochowski’s work. When
you see Grochowski’s name on a book, article
or speakers’ symposium (and whether you know
how to pronounce that name or not, it’s Gra-house-key),
you know you are in for the very best in gaming
information presented in a palatable and highly
enjoyable way.
As with Grochowski’s previous works, the book
is divided into a series of questions and answers
with detailed explanations. There are ten chapters
in all (cleverly titled “passes”), with
each chapter divided into two parts -- the questions
and the answers with explanations. There are sections
on the history of the game, the vocabulary of the
game, how the game is played, the good and bad bets
of the game, and the various systems that have been
developed in an attempt to beat the game. The 10th
chapter is a series of questions that have been
sent to him over the years as a columnist for the
Chicago Sun Times, Midwest Gaming and Travel and
other publications. Grochowski answers them in detail,
always pointing players to make the most of the
best bets in craps and avoid the worst. Craps
