Wong on Dice Paperback – June 10, 2005

If I could thank Mr. Wong in person, I'd love to do it.

This was the first book I read on precision shooting and advantage craps play. At a time when I was ready to give up on craps as hopelessly random, this book drove home the basic concepts of precision shooting and advantage play. The advice paid immediate dividends only a month after reading; I realized consistent, improved results on my throws, and was able to classify and bet smartly on other players. As a result, I'm now enjoying the game much more and seeing improved dollar returns.The key is that it delivered the concepts in dosages that I could digest as a newbie. This made it less daunting to get started on practicing/training at home. Also, the book gave me the "hooks" upon which to hang the more expansive knowledge I'm now getting in books such as the "Mad Professor's Crapshooting Bible", and "Beating the Craps Out of the Casinos". I honestly don't think I could handle the Mad Prof if I hadn't read Wong first!All that being said, I thing Wong could probably use a better ghost-writer or editor to help him organize the information a little more logically. You may find yourself jumping around this book from section-to-section.Also, be warned that about half the book is spent on "front-line" tales that, while somewhat entertaining journalism, are less educational about how to get the job done.So, I would classify this book as Advantage Craps Play 101, and let readers know to plan on shopping for deeper follow-up information.

My favorite chapter is “sweaty fingers”

You must own this book if you are considering dice control!!! Stanford Wong is giving you info not trying to you sell something else. His practice tips are spot on and of course the math is perfect.

This book is a must read if you are trying to get into being a "controlled dice shooter". Wong really gives you an honest look at the whole mechanics of throwing the dice in manner that will give you less random results. He also really gets into the math of the game. All its missing is a dvd!

Great book. Subtitle is the truth.

Great instruction on dice setting, at times a little too technical , but for the most part great dice instruction.

This was a nice book to complement my traditional dice influencing library of GTC and Sharpshooter. Perhaps the single most useful thing I got out of this was the epiphany that playing while fatigued can actually cause you to statistically influence the dice in the OPPOSITE way, i.e. actually *expect* shoot worse than random with the same sets. That revelation alone is worth the price.
