I have found encouragement and some fresh ideas. I bought this book because I was looking for a way to get more consistancy with my results.
The reason I didn't give it a 5-star is that I didn't find the section on betting stratagies that helpful for me. I had read some of the author's articles on the web which seemed helpful so I thought I'd give it a try and I'm glad I did.
This book assumes you already have a dice setting foundation so it's not for the absolute beginner, though you do get the usual concept pitch by story examples in the first chapters that is typical of all books on this subject. I've read two other books on this subject, Golden Touch which was a good starter book, and Wong on Dice, which presented some different thoughts, but this one has been the most helpful for me.
No new concepts there. I have only read less than half of the book at this point but have flipped through the rest of it.
Several times while reading I had some "light-bulb" moments and had to set the book down and run to my practice station to try something out.
When I bought this book I also bought Frank Scoblete's Golden Touch Dice Control Revolution. I would tell you that the Mad Professor has a good book here, but, it is not a book I would use to perfect my throw. I think the author has been shooting craps so long he missed the basic instructional technique to bring a neophyte into the best case scenerio, but, still, it is a good book. There were no Adam and Eve here, I need a book that addresses the fundamentals. There is plenty of knowledge in it. You must realise that this review is written by someone who has only started playing Craps a month or two ago and it is written in Dec. I guess I have said nothing with so much one one side and as much on the other. Personally, I would not call my book a bible.
However, a person like me needs more concentrated information on the subject of making the dice level to the table. Hello Reader,I am new to Craps play. I am hoping the sharpshooter has the physics for a great new book.In short, this book is a good read. I would give it the compliment that it conveys a great deal about the sport of craps shooting for profit. I am a Catholic and calling your book a bible needs to be backed up like the Pope backs up his liturgy - this book does not do enough to accomplish that.
I think the Mad Professor made a mistake there. The author is fluid and determined, he has the spirit of a winner at the craps table, and that is inspiring. I gave it a 4 of 5 stars as the result of I could not shoot the dice as well as the author expects me to without some mentoring from a teacher who writes to the novice. This book is one I want in my library. The two, together, were the best case scenario for a starter such as me. It seems no book can do it all, and that is not a surprise. 2007.
And as far as I am concerned, the fundamentals are the physics of a rigid body. It was, I think, a good combination at this time. It is a good book. Frank has the teacher's perspective and Gino Gambino has the endurance perspective.
Everything you need to know is right in this book, so take my advise and start with this one if you want to win consistently.If you read this book, and follow it exactly, you will be successful. The author takes you inside the Only way to consistently beat the craps tables. This book is packed with so much information, it could easily have been a series of books.

Chapter six and the charts in the back are the definitive work on this subject. This book is tremendous, the cutting edge on influencing the dice.
Then you'll move on to the Low, Slow and Easy Toss. It is jam-packed with information you can use to make more money at the tables. You aren't going to find our friend the Mad Professor in the phone book. And you'll get the inside scoop on how to tailor your bets to your skill levels, how to adapt to live casino play and adjust to different table types, and how to create shooting opportunities. Back in the nineties a handful of craps players came together in gaming chat rooms with a novel concept - that it was possible to influence the outcome of the dice roll in casino craps and gain an edge over the game.
Last of all, you'll get the classic "Tough Way to Make and Easy Living." Mad Professor's on-line articles and essays have drawn millions of hits through the years. Among the subjects that caught my eye:The Pincer Grip and Its Variations; Two-Finger (Thumb and Middle Finger) Pincer, Two-Finger (Thumb and Ring Finger) Pincer. The Crapshooting Bible brings you the Best of Mad Professor's essays plus a ton of brand new material you won't want to miss. I highly recommend it.Stephen Haltomaka Heavy Axis Power CrapsCrapsFest.com Learn the dynamics of throwing speed, release and backspin, sweet spots and critical landings. You'll even find some timely tips suggested by the some of the other players who haunted those chat rooms in the nineties.
The Mad Professor - aka Tino Gambino - was right there in the heart of it all. Four-Finger "Crab" Pincer. You'll hear from the likes of Irishsetter, Shooter57, DiceDoc, Jeffry47 and (ta-da) yours truly - Heavy. Okay, before you head for the White Pages I'll just tell you that Tino Gambino is the pen name of one of the top dice controllers in the world.
