5.0 out of 5 stars Most honest gambling book written. Excellent!, October 8, 2001

This is one of the most honest books I have ever read on a gambling subject. The author lays out what it takes to earn money off of casino sign-up bonuses. If you think that you can just sign up, play some hands of black jack and cash out the bonus, you would be well advised to read this book before continuing, it won't work. First you will need a credit card and the ability to pay the bill as soon as the Casino charges arrive, as the author so honestly puts it, playing for bonuses and paying cash advance and interest fees won't cut it. However, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject.

1) The author shows you what type of records you will keep to dispute payment claims.(A lot)
2) How to spot unsavory casinos.
3) What games to play to minimize the house edge (BlackJack, Video Poker) as well a very useful introduction to the games and strategies. Assume you will lose money on these games but your loses will be offset by bonus money.
4) A very clear explaination of variance and how to size your bets, best I've read anywhere. Worth the price of the book by itself.
5) How to handle disputes with on-line casino's to get results.
6) How to bet so you look like a gambler than a match-player.
7) A sample diary of couple of days of betting, so you see if this is really how you want to spend your time.
8) The potential pitfalls in earning referral bonuses.
9) Just about everything else you need to get started.

It's not easy money, but I believe the author gives you all the information you need to judge for yourself if this is a business you want to get into. Believe me, after reading this book you will see that it is indeed a business. Wish I could give this book a higher rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars I-Casino Bonus Hustling, October 6, 2000

By 

"robmcgarvey" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I never would have joined an Internet Casino, that is until I read this book. Bill says you can pay for the book on your first bonus hustle, and that is exactly what happened. So far I am on my way to my first $1,000 bucks worth of bonuses, all for downloading the proper casinos software, puting in a deposit, and taking the bonus. I'm a Blackjack player, no my stuff, and play even with the house with one deck games. With a 100% bonus (I put in $100, they match it) I am set to make money, everytime. I have even found casinos that will give bonus every weekend, and every month to keep the cash flowing. This is far easier than asking my boss for the raise I deserve! Bill has won over $18,000 in bonuses and winnings so far. I'm glad I got this book. Do your wallet a favor and get a copy today!
