Common Questions

Is craps really a beatable game??!!

Unlike blackjack and a few other casino games, craps cannot be beaten with mathematics and 'brain power' alone. In blackjack, we can learn an advanced card counting system to determine when we have a positive edge (based on the remaining cards in the shoe), and bet more accordingly. There is no similar strategy or system in craps: if you are using random rolls of the dice, you are bound to lose money in the long run, no matter what betting strategy or system you use. There are many scam books and resources that say you can make money simply by controlling your bets (in craps, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, etc.): this is not what Smart Craps is about!

But… this does not mean the game of craps can't be beaten! The answer lies in dice control, the physical skill of manipulating the throws of the dice such that the average outcome is not random, and sufficiently biased to produce a positive player edge given a particular betting strategy.

To get a positive player edge and win at craps (in the long run), you need to do three things:

1. Learn the physical skill of dice control.
2. Confirm, through mathematical tests of your rolls, that you have learned this skill and that you are rolling the dice and generating non-random results with statistical certainty.
3. Determine what positive player edge, if any, your level of dice control skill yields given a specific betting/playing strategy in craps.

Smart Craps is all about steps two and three. Since dice control is a physical skill, not a pure mental skill like card counting in blackjack, you will not be able to learn and master it from a book or software program alone. See our Craps and Dice Control Resource section below for more help on learning dice control.

What are the computer requirements for the software?

Smart Craps will work on any desktop computer running Windows 98 or higher (i.e. Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP, etc.). 15 megabytes of hard disk space is required. 800 by 600 screen resolution or higher is recommended.

Reviews of Smart Craps

The experts are talking about Smart Craps, and the news is good!

Frank Scoblete, #1 best-selling gaming author in America, says:
'Dan Pronovost is a genius, there's no question about that. His new software SMART CRAPS is truly revolutionary. The concept of the software is to prove you have an edge and to show you how to increase that edge with 'cutting edge' dice sets that you may not have even thought about. What startled me was that my rolls were analyzed and while I had a good edge, the software recommended I change certain things about my dice sets at certain times. This increased my edge by quite a bit.'

Dominator, Golden Touch Craps Instructor/founder:
'This is revolutionary! You can now with a small sample of throws be able to calculate your real advantage over the casinos when you have the dice! Knowing this advantage you then can decide what bets will return to you the greatest amount of winnings. Now the software will also tell you what set, and again this is revolutionary, to use to maximize your edge!'

Jerry 'Stickman' Stich: (click here for full software review):
' If you goal is to be a winner in the casino, Smart Craps is a great tool to help you succeed.'

More comments from users...

Charlie M.: 'I wanted to give you some very good feedback on Smart Craps. After passing [Pro Test] and letting the software suggest going to the 3V set for point 5,6,8,9 and the 2V for the 4 and 10 has been amazing. I would have likely never considered going to the 3V set as I’ve had good results with the hard-ways set.'

Craps Tester

Jim C.: 'I have purchased the roll recorder and love it.'
