Love the Captain

22 August 2012

By Frank Scoblete

Dear Mr. Scoblete,

My name is Al Michaels. I got married to my wife Christine on 11/11/11 at 11:11am. She has since introduced me to craps and I am very excited about the game and about learning to beat it with the 5-Count and controlled rolling with sensible bets.

She still likes to bet the horn and any craps on a come-out roll even though I explained the math from your book "Casino Craps: Shoot to Win!" I figure craps is about fun as much as money, and when she does win a Crazy Crapper bet she is ecstatic.

She once saw a shooter setting the dice and saw that he doubled his field bet so she bet the horn and he made two midnight rolls (12) back-to-back. She was betting one-dollar units on the horn and won a little over a hundred, so I'll never be able to put a stop to it now.

I also wanted to thank you for your delightful tales of the late Captain. In the story where the guy died after his roll in 1986, a lot of people would have tried to do wrong, but the Captain showed his good character and I hope I get to meet him if I ever go to heaven.

Your books are great and I have rated you on Goodreads on Amazon and elsewhere so that others will hopefully read as well. Thanks again for all the great info.

Al Michaels
