A craps guidebook disguised as a heart-pounding thriller, Crapshoot is the penultimate fiction-as-wisdom book any amateur gambler and narrative-loving fan will need on their shelf. Sam is an experienced craps player with decades under his belt. Unlike the young bucks who let emotion rule their playing style, Sam has come to understand a trick that helps him survive the game-and even get ahead: emotional management. Built on a foundation of patience and perspective, Sam's strategy for craps focuses on a marathon view of the game. He doesn't see a roll, a game, or a trip to the casino... he sees his whole life. When a favorable trend appears, that's when he presses his bets in a predetermined manner, following specific rules for both pressing and leaving the game once the streak is over. His approach is about survival first, profit second-and it works. Sam's strategy works so well that Mel, an infamous Russian oligarch, takes notice. Mel hopes to use Sam's disciplined system for criminal gain-and leverages a dark secret from Sam's past to force him to return to the tables. Once the dice leave Sam's hand, fate-not strategy-decides who lives to play another round. A must-read for adults who enjoy gambling, thrillers, and crime dramas, Crapshoot promises a Masterclass in craps strategy wrapped in an engaging narrative.
