4.0 out of 5 stars Good, realistic view of casino gambling for the uninitiated., July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat The Odds (Basics of Winning) (Paperback)

Very good, easy read that clearly and concisely explains the basics of the various casino games. I found it very useful as it is filled not with just facts, but advice that is meant to keep you out of harms way, which is after all exactly where the casinos would like you to be. For less than the price of your first bet, it's an easier decision than whether to place your bet on the pass or don't pass line
