When choosing a book to read on your favorite, or would-be favorite game, one of the best strategies to take is to look for a book that caters to your area of expertise. Anyone who looks that the title of this book should be able to do so with a high level of success. Look at the following keywords: "clueless" and "beginner." Now, this should lead everyone to believe that this is a book for people who are looking to learn the game of craps, and that is indeed a correct assumption.
Craps for the Clueless is a book that does exactly what it is designed to do. It gives an introductory look at the game of craps, and takes some of the mystery out of the game for those who haven't had the chance to play craps previously. You'll learn how to make bets, what bets you can make as well as the odds on each of the bets.
The book does not teach you how to get rich playing craps. Simply enough, that's because that doesn't happen for most people, and is better left to the dreamers. The book does teach you to play a safe game of craps, and to lose money as slowly as possible if you don't make a profit. That is a sound train of advice, and one that should be followed not just by beginning bettors, but by all bettors.
