The book I bought from you was a steal as far as I'm concerned. I had no real problem understanding it.Sometimes I'd get a little lost with details, but would just read it over. I truly enjoyed it and feel the money was well spent.

In an age where 99% of Britons are (apparently) inveterate gamblers (viz: the lottery) what might, at first blush, appear an arcane legal text is increasingly a must for all interested in the field - from the trackside bookie to the participant in the works' sweepstake. Clearly written, witty and informative, this tome is an absolute steal - buy it now - you won't be disappointed!

betting, you cant beat the action. I have above average intelligence, but I had no common sense when it came to betting. No discipline, no money management and no sense. This book was jumping out before me. the skies opening up. A hundred scratches of the head and a thousand oh yeahs. Changed my life. Follow the tenants of the book to the letter of the law. Be a fanatic and never deviate and then you just might have a opprotunity at being a winner. Without this book, there is no opprotunity. NOw being smart is as easy as bookwork. I own a comfortable life due to Lem Banker and to playing backgammon where the laws of probabilites cant be argued.

The book that first inspired my interest in gambling, this is the best text ever written on gambling by an Englishman. Black details methods to win at roulette by locating mechanically imperfect wheels, at poker by skill and mathematics, and at blackjack and baccarat by the application of "card-counting" techniques. He also debunks gambling fallacies. Throughout the work, Black displays a perceptive knowledge of the mathematics of gambling, which he conveys simply and with genuine enthusiasm. For those people who think "you can't win at gambling", this book might be a real eye-opener.

A concise, colorful history of the first 120 winners of America's most famous horse race. A short page story accompanies each lovingly done portrait. This lady knows how to draw horses--she doesn't pretty them up, she shows them how they are, beautiful enough without having to add any artificial ingredients. The stories are fascinating if you are a racing fan or like to read biographies of people and animals. The book is relatively inexpensive for art and history of this quality

Excellent!!One of the best books on professional speculation around!! How rare is the man that understands mass psychology and how to "copper" the public. Heard famous speculator vic niederhoffer used to make this reqd reading for all new employees. It is a true gem on the great endevour of speculation and the speculative mind.

Smart Choices is an easy-to-read paperback book which gives good advice for handicapping thoroughbred horse races. The author gives a detailed outline of how to use the Daily Racing Form to analyze the past performances and charts of each horse in a race. Statistics and probability help to determine the odds of spotting a winner. This book has information for beginning bettors and veteran handicappers. I have used many of Craig Victor's ideas with much success. Good luck at the track.

Tom Ainsley's book is great if your new to harness racing and want to learn how to handicap or if you're already into it and want to refine your skills. MUST READ!

Mark Cramer has written the most thought provoking tome I've read. There are many excellent books on the "SCIENCE" of handicapping. But this book brings home the the reality that races are won by flesh and blood animals prepared by mortals (trainers) who are fraught with their own strengths and weaknessses.Anyone who extrapolates figures from services or computer programs water down the past performance to a number. Predicting the future(handicapping the "ART"), is far more involved in "cycles". This book is a must read for all serious handicappers

One of the classic reference books on horse race handicapping. The book covers a wide range of techniques and tactics in picking winners at the track (from basics for the beginner, to more complex applications for the experienced race track enthusiast). Book is now out of print (in any published form) and is becoming quite a sought after item as it really should be part of any comprehensive personal handicapping reference library.
