    I don't usually push a book this hard but I want everyone to read my new one, I Am a Dice Controller: Inside the World of Advantage-Play Craps! (Available now on Amazon.com and in book stores.)

    The advance sales of the book have been so good that my publisher decided to skip the May 1 publication date and make it available right now.

    The book does have techniques of dice control and betting in it but the real thrust are the men and women who did what many consider to be impossible --- beat the game of craps with a controlled throw. Some of you might know some of these people. I do tell their true stories and, in fact, you might get upset by some of these.

    This book is about people but not just the great and good ones but some of the louses and crooks in the dice control (dice influencing) community. I do not spare anyone, including myself. In addition, I'll take you behind the scenes of television shows I've written and participated in (doing television is a whole other world).

    This is a no-holds-barred book. I think by the end your mind will be boggled.

    ________________________________________________________________________

    Now to critics who enjoy haranguing me about my desire to sell my books, this will give you ammo. But I think you will enjoy what's in those pages too.

    Congratulations Frank !!!!

    Just a little over a decade ago, you released your book "Craps Underground: The Inside Story of How Dice Controllers are Winning Millions from the Casinos!"

    You have talked about writing your current book for some time now ... If you would have instead spent that time in the casinos instead of writing, would you have made "Millions" more ??!!!!

    One hundred to 130 days in casinos per year were more than enough. I like to play but I love to write. Please read the book, you might find stuff in it that you really, really like.

    Oh, come on Harley. For me to make millions I need you to buy the book on Amazon or at a bookstore. Can't you do that this one time? Please?

    I was able to find a USED signed copy on Amazon for the same price as new. Half.com and ebay.com are also good sources to find used books for on the cheeps.

    Mark bought a new copy autographed by me. These are at a discount on Amazon. I think there are about 10 of them. This book is going to make some dice controllers very unhappy.

    I'm thinking Beelzebub myself. Who was it that wrote "Steal This Book"?

    Best of luck for the new book. Hope it will add some value to the existing craps players looking for advantage play.

    I want to do a little " Monty Hall Deal " with you -

    I want to purchase - From You directly - an autographed copy of your new book -

    You have provided me a copy ' gratis ' of a select few of your other books -

    And I have also purchased other books of yours thru Amazon.com and others -

    The " bottom line " is - purchasing your work thru the ' middle man ' does NOT give YOU the FULL retail value of your work -

    We have been in business and are MORE than familiar with the " Retail / Wholesale " venue of sales -

    Kindly send ME via PM a bill for the FULL RETAIL value of I Am a Dice Controller: Inside the World of Advantage-Play Craps! -

    Payable via PayPal - and I will more than graciously pay YOU the FULL price of the book !

    Thank You again for your past generosity -

    Looking forward to shooting with you again -

    However - it's gotta be in Vegas -

    As " LL " and I have NO intent to returning to the East Coast !

    Regards,

    " $nakeEye$ and LuckyLady "

    Frank Scobe - I ran into a guy from Washington the other day that said he and Dom have been trying to teach you how to toss for over a decade and that you just never really got the hang of it .... maybe that is why I have never seen you toss over 10 rolls ...

    ....but you sure can tell a story !!

    Snake-eyes, just email me your address again and I will get the book out. I'll autograph it. I'll also put a bill in the envelope. My email is [email protected].

    Harley, I made it to 10 rolls? That must have been one of my greatest sessions!

    @Frank Scoblete,
    I searched your books on amazon and found nearly two dozens of them. How many have you authored so far? Are you in direct competition with Izak Matatya?
