4.0 out of 5 stars a college student's review, August 7, 1999

By A Customer

this book was really interesting and very easy to read. it's divided into a series of different articles by different authors. the only complaint i had was that it was quite repetetive, and it mainly focused on casinos and lotteries without mention of the many other forms of gambling.
