First Sentence:
If you knew that without a doubt the next time you went to the movies, the movie would be awful, the script infantile, the acting wooden, the picture blurry, the sound incoherent, the popcorn rancid, the ushers hostile, and the seat uncomfortable, I don't think you'd spend your hard-earned money to go to the movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baccarat is Not Just Like Flipping a Coin, September 18, 2001

By A Customer

Scoblete shows clearly the complexities of baccarat. He discusses card counting systems, advantage play methods, and ways to reduce the casino commission on the bank bets. The book is great reading and never dull. If you play baccarat you should seriously consider getting this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Discovered a Great Game, February 8, 2000

By	Jay Rheingold (Washington) - See all my reviews

I had never been interested in baccarat before but I am a Frank Scoblete fan so I bought this book. It was worth it. First of all, like all Scoblete's books that I have read, it is first rate. It is fun to read and just analyzes the game thoroughly. Scoblete shows why the traditional game of baccarat is much better than the mini version. He also explains how to really reduce what the house wins by maximizing comps and by using an ingenious strategy for reducing the commission on the Bank bet from 5 percent to 4 percent. I hve tried this strategy in five casinos and had success in two of them. Scoblete also analyzes over 40,000 decisions at baccarat and explains why these are very lose to the probability of what happens in the math. I wish I had better powers of writing because I know I am not doing this book justice. It turned me on to baccarat and I am loving every minute of it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepare for Battle!, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

Frank Scoblete has written another great book on a casino game. This time it's baccarat and he shows you very clearly why baccarat is a great game and why mini-baccarat can be one of the most dangerous games. His level-headed approach to casino games and his awesome writing talents have made Scoblete the top writer in the field of gaming. BBB is a great book and will prepare you to play a very tight game against the casino. I loved it!
