4.0 out of 5 stars Very good - but NOT a winning system, 13 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is the best system I've read about in craps. I disagree that it requires a big bankroll; believe me, I use this system and am no high roller.

Personally, I found all the stories about the Captain boring, but the Supersystem is easily worth the price of the book.

Two warnings: (1) the system is NOT a winning system, because no such thing exists in craps. Scoblete is honest about this and the mathetmatics presented are sound. It's a superior system because it minimizes losses. Therefore, with comps from the casino, a player could use this system and come out ahead. (2) The system is unusual and requires both attentiveness and the ability to deal with casino personnel who will question the player's strategy. Again, Scoblete deals with this fully and forthrightly.

I don't think the basic explanation of the game is especially good in this book. The novice player would probably do better elsewhere, but this is an excellent choice for those who understand the game and are looking to cut their losses and stay at the table longer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a lot of useful info--no basis in mathematics..., 17 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Most of this book is an anthology of the adventures of the captain and his crew. The only real betting strategies and information deal with the captain's 5 count technique that, though intriguing, has no basis whatsoever in mathematical statistics. Most of what the captain says is based in "feelings" and superstition. Also, the systems that are listed in the book are for people with sizeable bankrolls. Even if his system did work, you would need quite a bit of money to put it to use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining and informative, 13 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I enjoyed reading about "The Captain" and the characters who make up "The Crew". Although I have not had the opportunity to try the 5-count in a casino yet, I have tried it on computer simulations and it seems to work. Those of us (like me) who only go to Las Vegas once or twice a year for a vacation will probably be less inclined to use the system than those people who go once a month or more. The system requires the player to pay quite a lot of attention to what is going on, and probably will be impossible to use if the player has had a few drinks. If you are visiting the casino to relax and gamble a little bit, you may not be interested in this book, but if you intend to play craps as if it were your second job, this book will probably be invaluable.
