Craps is the only casino game I play. It’s a game where you’re rooting for (or if you’re antisocial, against) everyone at the table; a game that lets you handle the dice, yourself; and a game with the best odds for the bettor. But for many, the table is a confusing jumble of places and ways to bet, with an entirely different language (“The Hard Way,” “Horn, Hi Yo,” and “Yo Leven,” for example). I bought this book used on Amazon Marketplace ten or so years ago, before a trip to Las Vegas, and I reread it a few days before I hit the tables. In clear language, Tambourin explains the culture, language, and etiquette of craps - which is really important because people get really pissed if you say (ie, the word “seven”) or do (ie, dangle your hands over the table) the wrong thing. Better still, Tambourin goes through each type of bet and explains what has the best or worst odds, and then lays out several systems, or betting strategies, you can use to maximize your chances of “taking the money and run.” This book has paid for itself hundreds-fold over the years. I love the conservatism of Tambourin’s theories - set aside a bankroll and if you lose it, stop; or if you lose a few rolls and the table feels cold, stop; or if you’re up for the night, instead of getting greedy, stop. I just reread this and then visited the L’Auberge Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana. I played for two hours, was comped drinks, made some unexpected money, and best of all, had a great time with a bunch of strangers who I likely never would have talked to under any other circumstances. Tambourin gets the credit for all of this.

Good coverage of the basics.

A beginner level book on craps. The basic rules of craps are explained adequately, but the chapters on strategy are nothing special.
