This is the best of the maybe 20 books on gambling that I've read. The author's ideas are well thought out, clear, and concise. His chapter on "Wagering Plans" is superb. His very conservative betting progression is much better than more commonly known progressions at surviving bad runs. I would highly recommend this book to anyone serious about increasing their chances of coming home from Las Vegas a winner.

L.G. Holloway's classic gambling manual has good historical value. It is an easy read, especially with his straight forward, common sense approache to many of the popular table games. However, like PhD Thorpe's tome, most of the information is more valuable, historically, than practically.

However, for gamblers aspiring for a full time profession or profitable hobby, the practical wisdom contained in the book is invaluable.

after reading dozens of gambling books, this is the one that can help you win. It doesnt give you a "system", but gets you thinking about cycles and patterns, and discusses several different casino games. When I came upon this book, I had developed a method of betting that won a lot more than it lost, over tens of thousands of hands. I had inadvertantly discovered something the author is trying to lead the reader to, and this book made me realize what I was doing right. A must have for the person serious about beating the house.

I love this book, i actually have the original hard back. I have also read all of LGH's stuff.....other books,pamphlets,systems etc. His knowledge of wagering was incredible. With him, I started using speed/pace ratings before Beyer wrote his first book. His conservative wagering plan is almost unbeatable...takes a prolonged losing streak to actually lose a bank. Thank you LGH for these years of fun and steady profits.
