Craps Answer Book Part 2

The Craps Answer Book does not disappoint even the most learned of craps players. Here’s a sample of some of the background information: Did you know that dice have been found in Late Stone Age Iraq? Were you aware that dice have been made out of numerous materials, including wood, bone, clay, and stone, and that today’s dice are made from cellulose? You’ll find other interesting bits of information in the background chapters as well.

He explains the best way to keep the house edge at bay and what that means for your bankroll. If you want to know the house edge on all the major bets in the game of craps, you’ll find them in this book, with explanations for why the edge is what it is. Often craps books merely tell us that the edge is thus and such but never explain how the casino actually makes money from the players who make such bets. You will find satisfying explanations in The Craps Answer Book.

My personal opinion, one that I know I share with many players, is that craps is the most exciting game in the casino. Yet, for some, it can be the most frustrating game if the wrong bets are made, that is, bets with a high house edge -- and there are more bad bets at craps than good bets. Writers such as Grochowski, and books such as The Craps Answer Book, are the keys to not only making the most of your casino experience but also in having a chance to bring home the money, which is after all the be-all and end-all of casino gambling.

Follow Grochowski’s advice and you can’t go wrong. And, if he doesn’t answer every question you have about the game of craps, you can write him at the Chicago Sun Times or c/o Midwest Gaming and Travel Magazine, for a personal response. There’s a reason why John Grochowski is known as the “answer man,” he knows casino gambling as very few writers do and he knows how to get his points across in a highly pleasing way. The Craps Answer Book is another worthy addition to gaming literature.
