Craps players have always found that the casino has the edge and that no person could ever win the game on a continual basis. This may soon change as author Mark Carter has released a new book that teaches a new method, created by Carter that will tip the edge to your favor.

The book is titled: The Black Dice: How You Can Invert the Odds at Craps with 30 Combinations in Your Favor. In this book, Carter reveals a technique for winning Craps on a routine basis. To do this a player must use his unique hedge betting arrangement that he calls The Iron Cross.

The information in the book states that the technique will reduce the house expectation to six combinations and increase the player’s expectation to thirty combinations; this is done by using the field, Big 6 and Big 8 and $5 on Place number 5. If a player has a reasonably sized bank roll and bets are placed properly, then that player can gain an edge over the casino.

Players can learn a more advanced playing strategy from the book. It says to use The Black Dice with one additional wager and The Iron Cross can be used to reduce the combinations of the dice further for the player. In the book, it is recommended that the player only use The Black Dice if they have a good bankroll. This will help avoid the exponential loss rate.

Craps players will have to see for themselves if this book can really change the edge from the casino to the player. The evidence points to the player having the edge, placing the game of Craps in the beatable game category. Casinos will not be able to do very much to keep the player from gaining the edge by using this method, without altering the game altogether.
