This book was originally published in the mid-1960s. At the time, it was revolutionary. Today, it is nearly useless in practical terms. If you already know the basics of card-counting and want to learn some of the history, this is the book that started it all. If you want to read some "war stories"

For years Frank Scoblete has been the premier craps author in the world. The very first book I read by him introduced a concept called rhythmic rolling that I had never thought about.
