5.0 out of 5 stars
Solid book, good advice, based on math - truly fantastic, November 13, 1998
This review is from: The New Gambler's Bible: How to Beat the Casinos, the Track, Your Bookie, and Your Buddies (Paperback)
This is a gambling book that looks at gambling in a realistic fashion. The first thing it does is to divide the games into those you can win in the long run (Blackjack (Barely), Poker, Sports Betting, etc) and those that you must lose in the long run (roulette, craps, baccarat, etc). It then explains each game in detail. It explains why progression betting systems don't work long-term, and why money management is psychological, not mathematical. For all the simple games (baccarat, roulette, etc) it provides all you'll ever need to know. For more complicated games like poker and blackjack, it provides all that most people will ever need to know and a firm basis for the serious student.
In the world of BS gambling books, this is a breath of fresh air.
