Why Lose When You Can Be a Winner!

A Necessity For The Beginner - Useful for Veterans

made me excited about playing at the casinos!!!!!!!!!!

great book/interesting theory

Goodman's good oil on everything about gamblingThis American book was first published in 1963. The author, Mike Goodman touts himself as a professional. "How to Win" covers a wide range of gambling, from the casino to horses to poker machines.
The standout of the book is the black jack strategies. There is very sound, probability-based advice on how to play without card counting hassles. One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of gambling - money management - is also extensively covered. In a nutshell, Goodman's advice is bet more when you win and less when you lose.
In most cases, Goodman starts from the premise that in the case of Casino games, the house has an insurmountable edge. But, and here is the magic of his book, he offers sound, easy to apply advice on the best ways to play to minimise this house advantage.
I've been serious about gambling for 20 years and this book has been my betting bible. Buy it!


good book on sports betting

"The money was well spent."

How to win the games of chance by Kenneth Dickkerson

Hugely effective non-fiction that spins a spell on it's own.It has been writen down to the finest degree and it is full with interesting pictures too. I would ask anybody to read this book if they were into a hussler and Caino running. Along with the Casino another aspest which dominated this book is the mob.
It is interesting when a man called Bruno is in his hotel room packing when a bell boy knocks on the door and tells him there are two men down stairs looking for him, because he skimmed their Casino the night before. It will have you turning pages all the way to an explosive showdown but don't take my word for it, read the book.
Another thing that the book has is well developed characters and a great plot. however a film cannot be made because it would look to much like 'Casino'. Still this will have you ducking and diving at every paragragh and subsection and although it's not one of Mr.Puzo's more famous books such as The Godfather, It is still worth a read(more than one). Once you read the first chapter you will be hooked and won't be able to put it down. It also goes into great detail, e.g. Bruno shot him and Angelo stuck a knife through his heart to stop the blood flow and heart pumping. It is a sadistic and certainly more disturbing of Puzo's books, that's why it's almost impossible to get your hands on a copy. if you do, jump at the chance. It's worth your while and money.
