Book Description

March 1997
Have you ever found yourself in front of the TV shouting at the contestants on Wheel of Fortune? You already know the next obvious letter to pick; it's the letter R. The contestant on TV picks the letter V, of all things. "Buzzzz", he looses control of the Wheel. ouch!!!! "Where on EARTH did he come up with that!!!", you shout at the TV. "I could do better than that on my worst day", you say.

Winning On The Wheel is the how-to book on getting an audition and playing Wheel Of Fortune. Once you've read and studied the material in this book, you will have a decided advantage over the competition. Winning On The Wheel tells how to get an audition and, how to do well at the audition once you get it. In this one-of-a-kind, easy-to-follow guide, you will find tips, tricks and strategies for playing Wheel Of Fortune that are available nowhere else. Plus there are over 500 Wheel of Fortune type practice puzzles. It may look easy as you sit in your living room, but former contestants will tell you it's a whole different story when you are in front of a live audience, the bright lights are on and the TV cameras are rolling. However, if you are well prepared, your confidence is higher, there is less uncertainty and you are less distracted by all of the fan-fare. You focus on the strategies and techniques you have learned and maximize your chances of winning big. WITHOUT A DOUBT, THOSE WHO PREPARE, DO BETTER!!!

This review is from: Winning on the Wheel, An Unofficial Guide To Getting on and Winning at Wheel Of Fortune (Paperback)
I read this book before appearing on Wheel. This book has a few letter association tips that can help you some puzzles faster. Some of the information is outdated as far as how the show is played, but it does give you a lot of practice puzzles in the various categories to do before your big day. I won about $11,000 with a trip to Belize! It surely couldn't hurt your chances of winning at the Wheel.

This review is from: Winning on the Wheel, An Unofficial Guide To Getting on and Winning at Wheel Of Fortune (Paperback)
I read this book before going on Wheel. I spun three bankrupts in my eight spins, so I couldn't put my puzzle-solving skills to their best of use when it counted, but in preparing for the show I found no better resource for deconstructing and practicing the game.
