I originally was reading Kim Isaac Greenblatt’s books on fiction and I saw that he writes non-fiction. I don’t play poker but I tried playing craps in the past. I didn’t get it. The book explains in a no-nonsense way how craps works and how different systems all lead to losing. His section on dice setting explains that a person can set up their own experiments and track them on their own without having to spend thousands of dollars to conmen to teach you to win at a negative expectation game. I have read other books on craps in the past and they have all sorts of money management systems and basically it is all luck. Kim Isaac Greenblatt at least reminds us that if you are lucky, great, if not, remember that the odds are stacked against you. There isn’t anything groundbreaking in the book but he is refreshingly honest and simplifies how to approach playing the game. He also donates part of the proceeds from his book to Rett Syndrome research.
