5.0 out of 5 stars A Necessity For The Beginner - Useful for Veterans, December 23, 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: How to Gamble in a Casino (Paperback)
Tom Ainslie loves gambling and has provided some of the best advice ever in this handy little book. Never mind the Beat Vegas, Get Rich At Craps type books. This one will give you a solid plan on what to play and how to play to maximize your winnings and minimize losses. The part about money management should be read by every gambler before arrival at the casino. He best summarizes his own book by saying that gambling should be fun, not an ordeal.

1.0 out of 5 stars outdated and of little use, March 21, 2008
This review is from: How to Gamble in a Casino (Paperback)
Ainslie's book has "Betting Systems That Work" on its front page. However, there is no hard data to support the view that any betting systems change the house edge. His favorite betting system is Oscar's Grind. While Oscar's Grind is less destructive to one's bankroll than a Martingale, it is still no more of a 'winning' system than any other. The book's age is especially obvious in the author's discussion of blackjack.

After all, blackjack has changed a lot in the past couple of decades. He has no sympathy for those who count cards at blackjack, comparing them to people who use slugs to steal from slot machines!
