I bought this book while I was leaving Las Vegas with a couple friends who were "knowledgable" about the game. I read it non-stop for 4 hours on the flight home. What I found out amazed me, not the least of which was that my friends had a lot to learn.

The book provides an understanding of the basic game, all the bets on the table, and a winning strategy that works. Since reading the book, 3 times cover to cover, and playing on my PC, I've played a couple times in Las Vegas, and both times walked away a winner. I fully realize this was part skill, and part luck. But without the book, I would have not had the knowledge to even begin to play smart.

Buy the book - you won't regret it. It provides a strategy for the long haul, not just one lucky experience. It explains everything. And the next time you are at the tables, you'll find out just how silly everyone else is.

While some of the strategies are not complete, i.e., some circumstances are not covered, for the most part, this book gives a quick yet thorough view of what craps is AND how to bet. Many bets in craps are not good investments; he tells why.

Mr Joubert Olson has really outdone all books that I have ever read. His book graphically displays the game in full graphic form. Excellent book rich in content that is a must for any seasoned player or beginner. I could not put his book down until early hours in the morning. Then anxiously continued reading his book the next day. I go back to his book to review the fine details for finer play when I return to the Casinos. I have gained full comprehension of the game and rate Mr. Olson's book highly. Terry J. Hyatt... Over 30 years in the Gaming industry and former Casno Shift Manager.

Litfin has written a very good book that contains much useful information. Most of the examples in the book are from races at Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga. Litfin also devotes a fair amount of space to the "sheets". If you use Ragozin or Thoro-gragh data, this book is definitely for you. If you play races in New York extensively, this book will give you a greater insight into the three tracks operated by the New York Racing Association.

One of the best all around books on cheating history, from the times of Steamboat cardsharks, to dice pressers in the (then Modern 1973) Las Vegas world of gambling. Many of the methods depicted are obsolete because slot machines and other games have gone to using a computer chip. Even keno is automated now. but it still talks about the elaborate and intricate gaffs that some conman thought up and implemented. Book has pictures too! Not so much of modern techniques, but very interesting and enlightening.

This is not just a history of greyhound racing, it is a deeply moving personal insight into Laura Thompson, her love for dogs and her love for the father who owned and raced them. The book is Fever Pitch with heart; I wept buckets reading the damn thing. It is full of compassion for the greyhounds who run in the name of business and sport, and full of guilt for the fact that they give so much pleasure while being used, all too often, as playthings. It is also a journey into a completely separate world of which I hitherto knew nothing, and which came wonderfully alive for me. I found this book by accident in a second hand shop and couldn't help myself from wanting to say something about it - it is really beautiful.

I purchased this book back in 1995, began reading it, but never finished even the first chapter. I came across it neatly packed away during a recent move and decided to give it a try. WOW!!! I could not get over the results. After reading the entire book and years of NEVER winning the Florida "Cash Three", following Isaac's system, I won the next 5 out of 7 "Boxed" Cash Three games! This book is written in eveyday language and does not require an accountants degree to understand. The author is not beyond reproach either, as I have found in other systems I've read, and is more than willing to help or advise through his listed WEB site. So if you want to waste your money on "Horoscope Readings" or some other scheme that is based on obscure data like a friend's, mother's, cousin's, pet dog's birthday that's ok. But, if you want an honest-to-goodness system that WORKS, then this is the book you want to read. T. L., Davie, Florida.

Given that the author is based in Britain, I thought that this book might deal with cricket, darts and other non-US friendly subjects. Geez though - I couldn't have been more wrong - there's loads of Vegas and the whole Nevada scene plus lots of really useful economic theory. A great buy.

I have played using the information that the late Mr. Frome wrote and I found it to be very beneficial! I watched people at a Casino play the game and lose alot of money. By using the information in the book, I was able to take $100 and turn it into $1000 in 20 minutes.

Mr. Frome was the person that had completely calculated the game and the house "edge" so that the Nevada Gaming Comission could allow it to be played in its' Casinos.

The information is invaluable! I recommend this book to anyone that has watched the game and was unsure if they should play it or those that play the game and want to win more!

If you're going to play video poker in Atlantic City you have to have this book. It covers everything from a basic understanding of video poker to which games to play to bankroll considerations. Includes strategy tables for a handful of the most popular games in AC.

I have read more than one book on gambling, and this is the most all around informitive book ( as well as up to date ) out there. Definately worth the money!!
