GREAT FOR A NOVICE,
By Angie Tillman (Washburn, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casino Gambling for Fun and Profit (Paperback)
Casino Gambling for Fun and Profit is extremely informative on the subjects of blackjack and video poker. The amusing stories from the author's past experience holds the readers' attention as well as reinforces the technical explanations. As a novice gambler this book gave me the confidence to play other casino games besides slots and actually walk away a winner.

By michele Ray (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casino Gambling for Fun and Profit (Paperback)
This is one of the best books I have read on gambling in a long, ling, time! His style of writing is straightforward and clear and concise. He explains the odds on craps, blackjack and slots in a manner I can understand and apply. I especially appreciated his payoff schedules on each of the games and the strategy on the video games.One of the few books I have bought that were worth the money!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally a real book on gambling,
By Michelle Moss (Mobile, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Casino Gambling for Fun and Profit (Paperback)
A great switch from the mundane world of gambling books, this author presents his own personal experiences in a humorous yet professional manner. His own expertise is relayed through statistical and easy to understand information. I would highly recommend this book to any casino regular who is still not confident in their game.
