Classic Guide to Winning February 22, 2008Frank Miller 1 out of 1 found this review helpful "How to Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken" is an excellent guide to becoming a winner. It explains how to play all the major casino games like a pro. For some games (Sucker Games) it flat out tells you that the right way to play the game is to keep your money in your pocket. It explains that only some versions of Blackjack and a few video poker games actually can be beaten over the long haul without counting the freebies that the casinos give you for playing. If you count the value of the freebies, a few more games, like Baccarat, Craps, Pai Gow Poker and some slot machines have generous enough odds that you can actually come out ahead playing them. The book is very specific about exactly which games you should play and how to play them, as well as which games are strictly for losers and can't be beaten regularly. Before you take your money to the casino, you should read this book so that you don't get plucked like a chicken and don't look like an idiot. It doesn't guarantee that you WILL win, but it shows you how to get the best odds so that you CAN win. Entertaining and Fun with Good Information March 7, 2007Frank Scoblete (New York) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Many gambling books are dull reads, even if they give the best possible analyses of the games and how to play them intelligently, so it is great to read a book that is enjoyable and, at the same time, informative. This book gets high grades in those areas. Definitely worth reading. Frank Scoblete: author of Golden Touch Dice Control Revolution! A view point worthy to read January 13, 2007R. Olson (Madison, WI) I liked the way the author wrote. It was an easy read. The video poker section maybe outdated by now because casinos change machines so often. You Really Should Read This Book May 24, 2006Dan Harvey 15 out of 15 found this review helpful If you are only going to read one book on gambling, this is the one you should read. It covers just about every casino game of any consequence and gives you the essential information about each game with a minimum of blather. This book doesn't promise to make you rich, but it sure can keep you from looking like an idiot. The best part is that it is a pleasant read. It makes the details easy enough to understand so that you can become a competent gambler without having to have a PhD in mathematics. Even if you don't go to casinos to gamble, this book explains the factors that make it possible to win more often than you lose - for all kinds of games. That's why you really should read this book. > More Fun When You Win! March 21, 2006J.D. Davis 17 out of 18 found this review helpful This is a great book! I read it before my last trip to Las Vegas and it really helped me. Rather than wasting my time and money on sucker games, I followed the advice and played the games that gave me the best odds. Not only did I come out ahead for the trip, but the casino comped my room! I find that going gambling is a lot more fun when you win. This book can really improve your chances. It sure has helped me. | |||||||||||
