How to Detect Crooked Gambling: Marked Cards and Loaded Dice
Published in Paperback by Arco Pub (December, 1977)
Author: Frank Garcia
Amazon base price: $3.95
Used price: $9.75
Average review score:

Out of date? I think not
This is a wonderful book. Garcia took the time to explain many of the scams that are used from friendly household games to those that have fooled the casinos. Even though the book is old, it still covers many of the same things that are covered in more modern books. He has many pictures and tells you what to look for to protect yourself. If you gamble at all and think you may be the victim of a "mechanic" read this book.

How to Win

Goodman's good oil on everything about gambling
If you gamble, this book will be probably be one of the best "investments" you'll ever make in reducing your losses and may even make you a winner. This is an easy to read, common sense book with something for everyone - from the novice to the seasoned gambler.

This 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!

Inside Las Vegas
Published in Hardcover by Grosset & Dunlap (April, 1977)
Author: Mario Puzo
Amazon base price: $2.98
Used price: $7.95
Collectible price: $8.42
Average review score:

Hugely effective non-fiction that spins a spell on it's own.
This is one of two non-fiction books that Puzo wrote. Inside Las Vegas tells you the truth about what goes on behind the poker games and fancy slot machines. Anybody who has read or seen Nicholas Peleggi's 'Casino' will know what I'm talking about when I say 'Magic'. This is truly a fine piece of work and unlike Puzo's other big point Casino book 'Fools Die' I can honestly say that I prefered this.

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.
