Craps is not a hard game to play but with all the strange terminology that is used and the many betting options that are available to a player, it is still easy for new players to get confused. Therefore reading up on the subject is recommended before attempting to play the game.
There are many books written about the Craps game and the books vary from rule books for beginners to strategy books for advanced players. The many books come in just as many forms. Some you can obtain as a hardcopy while others are available for download in the form an eBook. Some you need to buy, others you can get for free. In any case, there is plenty of information about craps available for all kinds of players.
Beginners
For beginners a good start would be “Craps for the Clueless” written by John Patrick. As its title obviously states this book is for new players with little or no experience in playing the game. The book contains the basics: The rules and terminology of the game, all explained in layman's terms so it is quite easy to pick up the workings of the game. There is also some game strategies included. The author of the book being a professional gambler and host of the popular "So You Wanna Be a Gambler" show on national cable television is a well known authority on casino games.
Advanced Strategies
Beginners as well as more advanced players will benefit from the strategies explained in "Beat the Craps Out of Casinos", written by Frank Scoblete. In this book it is explained how to beat the odds and how betting can reduce the in-house advantage and many more must know facts about playing craps. A basic understanding of the game is required, but overall the book is easy to read and will be an asset to any type of player.
The two books mentioned above are mere examples on how a good rule book and strategy book on craps should be, there are many more available. As stated previously, there are free books on craps and books you have to purchase. When deciding to go the free route, take care not fall into scams promising the world while only delivering a lot of losses sustained while playing the game.
Always be thorough and research the place where you are getting your free books from. If the place is reputable, go ahead and get or download your free rulebooks, strategy guides and what not. But if there is only a hint that the place in question may not be completely on the level, leave it and go for a more reputable source.
