This book beats Frank Scoblete's books hands down - because it gives you the facts in a simple, easy to read and understand format. It doesn't promise to make you a big winner like Mr. S does. What a shame, the Idiot's seem to be way more realistic. (B-t-w, Stoker is obviously a plant - go read all the Scoblete reviews. That kind of makes this review stuff a lot of nonsense!) Buy this book and see for yourself how good it is!

I've read a lot of the newer, and easy to read Gambling books in the past two years, and being that this is a second edition, I can tell that a lot of other gambling authors have read this one too! This is the real deal, folks, and the simplest, clearest and most enjoyable gambling book for novices and even regular players to learn from. I read it and started winning more. Don't bother with the others. They're just cheaper - and you get what you pay for!

This is the best book on gambling I have read. It is written in simple and easy to understand language. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more on gambling.

I am a neighborhood gambler only, but some of the guys I play have been playing for years. I'm not exactly an expert yet, but thanks to this book I am not embarassing myself anymore (not with cards anyway). I used to rely on getting the other players drunk, but now I only need to get them partially drunk to win.

Good overall basics for the most popular casino games. Especially enjoyed the blackjack section - very easy to understand. Unfortunately the poker section is "very" limited - do not buy this book if you are only interested in poker.

this is a good informative book, im not much into reading so I didnt read it from cover to cover but it a good book and worh the money I think.

I laugh at title of book. I do not think I am "Complete Idiot" but I don't think that is author's mean. They mean that even idiots is able to be great, successeful gambler with information from the book. I agree with that because I was so-so gambler before and now I win better.
The book is very funny and clever. All the author are expert in gambling different gambles- poker, blackjack so on. So I learn from masters.
Still I don't gamble too much. It can be dangerous to my money. But when I want fun time, can gamble a little and win a little too. Try it!

This book is actually a bit on the boring side. It's basically a how to guide on just about all the games you can play. It goes really in depth into the rules and how to play the games. There are some strategies on how to play to win, but I just couldn't quite get it. I prefer Frank Scoblete's writing style and content a lot more. It's a good basic book but if you already know how to play then you may want to pass on this one.

This was a little bit dissapointing, I thought the title suggested that I was an idiot for purchasing and in hindsight, I think I was !
