In The King of Vegas' Guide to Gambling, Wayne Allyn Root of Spike TV's King of Vegas(tm) demonstrates why it is vital to take risks in life-whether in the casino, on the playing field, or in the boardroom.

In fact, as CEO of GWIN Inc., America's only publicly traded sports-handicapping firm, Root is a self-made millionaire with hundreds of thousands of sports-betting clients and fans. In this book he reveals the spiritual principles behind his consistently winning hand. Turning the popular conception of the casino denizen on its head, Root shows readers how to concentrate on the risks they take and to cultivate tranquillity in the face of life-defining, stressful moments. Bringing a unique contrarian approach to gambling, Wayne Allyn Root states his maxim of never following the masses and always taking the lead in life, and guides the way to navigate successfully the many gambles life offers.

Review Scam? November 18, 2006

By The Questioner

Format:Mass Market Paperback

Check out the other reviews on this book, and then check out all the reviews by that person. See the pattern? All of the reviewers have either only reviewed this one book or 2 books by Mr. Root. How credible are these reviews?

I want Wayne's World! August 30, 2006

By H Thompson

Format:Mass Market Paperback

I'm in awe. I'm amazed about just how much one person knows about life...risk...and winning. Thru Zen,Family or Spirituality I learned an entirely new perspective about life. Then he switches gears and tells me about risk....and how to have less risk thru Contrarian thinking and Value Investing. Now I'm ready to go the opposite way after I hear someone say "it can't miss"!
And finally, there's betting rules and a betting clock to maximize my betting opportunities. I didn't know that!! But what I enjoyed the most is how he took me thru the World Series of Poker. I not only feel like I was there but I learned so much I'm have many successes on the internet.His writing style is second to none during this fast paced chapter. What an incredible piece of work. This is a smart read for all risk takers, sports gamblers and poker players. And a must read for everybody else even if you only want to see how one man can combine success with family and business. Thanks Wayne Root!

Wayne does it again! August 6, 2006

By T. Claiborne

Format:Mass Market Paperback

I have drastically improved both my gambling profits and my success in my "real career" since being exposed to Wayne's books and philosophies. Life is all about gambling...no matter what your goals are...you must take calculated risks and be confident in yourself. Millionaire Republican is a must read...it is not a political book....people of all ideologies will be challenged and inspired. If you are a casino gambler, sports gambler or just a love to roll the dice in life...check out Wayne's fun and easy to read style
