2.0 out of 5 stars Far from a gem, October 13, 2003

By	"researchj" (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews

This nicely produced book contains stories from the author's personal experience with baccarat and a table summarising data from 160 shoes. His "rule of three", unfortunately, is NOT supported by the data. Thus the merit of the book is limited. Kayser's book is more useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some useful info, May 24, 2003

By	"edwardthc" (Petaling Jaya, Selangor Malaysia) - See all my reviews

Although this book does not recommend any specific system to employ at the tables, it does however give the reader a breakdown of result occurence (banker, player) which could be used when anticipating the best time to place a bet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great gambling stories, May 1, 2004

By A Customer

I found gambling stories in this book that I never heard of.
As to making money playing baccarat its still about a 50-50 chance. You have to get lucky, and Stewart admits it. With a large bankroll I believe you can make money if you are patient and will accept small pay offs. Outlines story of Australian
millionaire that beat Las Vegas but does not go into specifics of exactle how he did it
