Hi,
No sorry, I've never read a book on it - school of hard knocks was my Teacher as well as a professional gambler I knew when I lived in Chicago when I managed the Inter-Continental in the mid-'80s. There was a High Stakes Poker Game ($50k to get in) which rotated monthly between several of the Large Hotels. They'd rent a big suite, order lots of catering and such. Illegal, but everyone looked the other way because they weren't afraid to pay and they always paid in Cash. I heard they even had the cops paid off.
Anyway, there are lots of good books on shooting Craps. I might have cut my learning curve had I read one of them...
BTW, right now, down in the Wynn's Casino, there is a High Roller playing Craps by himself at a roped-off table. He's betting $100k per roll and after 2 Hrs., he's up a little more than $2M. I saw him an hour ago and he was up $1M, my wife just got back and said she just saw him still in the Casino, but he's up another million. Incredible to think that people have that kind of money to bet with...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
PS My wife also said that Celine Dion came into the Lobby with a bunch of out-of-town family members and checked them all in, while she was picking up a pkg. at the Front Desk. Seems maybe she's not that sick afterall...
