I just started writing my first book. I've been playing craps for a lot of years, and I've been generally successful. The last few years, I've been playing craps from the Don't Pass side (i.e., the "dark side" of craps). Craps is a fascinatingly superstitious game, and largely for superstitious reasons very few if any people usually play craps from the Don’t Pass side. Playing craps from the “dark side” for multiple years has given me a very interesting perspective on the game.
Over time, I’ve come to believe that many more people should be playing craps from the dark side, and the math backs me up. The math says that on average half the craps players at a table should be playing Pass and the other half should be playing Don’t Pass, but the actual numbers are very skewed with nearly everyone at a craps table always playing Pass. I’m writing the first craps book that goes into details about playing from the dark side. In addition to covering some of the unique experiences that result from playing the dark side of craps (many people at a craps table actively hate and chastise anyone at the table that plays from the “dark side”), I will be including a lot of math and computer simulations that will clearly demonstrate why more people should be playing craps from the dark side.

I have always bee a right-side bettor. Recently I started studying the dark side betting and have come to love and respect it. Much of the 'math' that is on the web is somewhat confusing, but tends to attempt to support his thoughts. I would be more than interested in communicating with you about your book.

I have about 40 pages on my book on playing from the dark side. While I don't get rich, I rarely lose. It is the only way to play.
