The Winning Strategy is a book that is long over due! I love to play the Provincial Sports Lottery, but it is hard to win without inside knowledge. Al J's Sports REALLY tells you everything that you need to know about PSL betting in this book. By far, it is the best $20 that I ever spent! The only thing is, it is so detailed that you really need to read it twice. It's worth your effort!

This book is not just for women! This book will help improve anyone's game. I highly recommend it.

Finally a blackjack book written for women in a fun to read style without explanations of why things work!

Miron Stabinsky has done a great thing with this book. He's illuminated another way of looking at gambling, as a spiritual quest for self-development and self-experience. The book includes many interesting anecdotes gleaned from his long experience in the casino industry and as a professional gambler. Also, there is a considerable emphasis on looking at the whole casino experience and its components in spiritual terms. The book also includes all the basics of the casino table games, slot machines and video poker with strategies and money-management rules. It also has advice on getting along with casino staff, tipping, and how the casino works. I can't recommend this book more higly. Not only is it well-written, but it is truly a pleasure to read, and it's one of my favorite how-to books.

This book was just the sort of book I was after. It wasn't too technical but wasn't lame like others I have read. The only down-side is that it doesn't tell you anyway of counting cards (even just a simple method).

This book and another on card counting will suit me just fine. I highly recommend this book as it contains lots of interesting facts about many games.

Gambling as a recreation? Yes. Gambling as an addictive/compulsive disorder which could lead to homelessness or suicide? Yes, that too. This book is highly satirical and funny and to use a phrase: Love it or leave it, this book pokes fun at many of the taboo's which thrive in Las Vegas. With the spread of gambling to other states, which other ills may follow? Gambling - it comes with a caveat emptor gaurantee. -- a long time Las Vegas resident

I am a very serious poker player and I play several times a week. I've read most of the poker literature. This book is one of the best. It looks at 77 concepts and analyzes the play of various types of hands based on these concepts. I thought the book was thorough, well written and intellectually challenging. If you play poker this belongs right up there with Sklansky's best work. Renzey obviously knows the various games and he has a marvelous way of teaching his points. But this is not a beginner's book.

Rob is the Man!!! I didnt double my money, I TRIPLED IT. and i owe it all to him. (And i'm not just saying this because he's my brother) His strategies and hints are the best, the casinos banned me now.

This is the most illuminating, up-to-date, and entertaining history of gambling in the West that has yet been published. I was a student at the University of Salford (UK) when I had to read this as part of a course on the sociology of gambling. Reith's style is scholarly, yet accessible. This text stands as an example of how interesting and diverse the historical/ cultural development of gambling has been, and of how much gambling can tell us about modern society and, as such, stands as a riposte to the yawn-inducing tedium of the 'problem gambling' school of books on this topic, which consists of a bunch of safety-merchants/salesmen who (presumably) aspire to scholary wisdom, yet fail miserably to say anything useful about one of the most fundamental of human traits: the itch for play. In short, Gerda Reith's book should be required reading for anyone who is interested in why anyone would take a chance on anything (and not just gambling).

Ainslie writes with wit, grace, clarity, and conviction. That he is the acknowledged master of handicapping theory in his generation is also significant. His gentle humor and dignity is unmatched in today's handicapping writers. If you are new to horse racing and paramutuel betting, you can do no better than starting with the best.

Mathematically very sound and easy to read, this book presents an unbalanced 10-count system. This system's playing efficiency is quite good(.61), and because it is an unbalanced system with the pivot point at the 2.0 non-ten/ten ratio it has a perfect insurance correlation. It's betting correlation is weak compared to more complex counting systems, but with a separate ace count the BC can be brought above 0.90. Because of the ease of keeping count, and with the pivot point at the point of betting favorability, I think this is a good system to use for multiple deck games (though when it was written single-deck games predominated, and the initial chapters are written for single-deck games). I have used this system to good effect. If you want a system for shoe games where you can have an advantage over the casino, yet can keep an accurate count and still relax, this may be the system for you.
