Highly recommended for everyone who has ever gambled or ready to
give it a try for the first time.....!!

We've all seen the system where you double after a loss. Trouble is you will either run out of money or into the table limit. Benny has 3 systems unlike any you've seen before. You can use these at craps or roulette. Win by using flat bets only. A totally different concept. And it WORKS. Try it for yourself and see. Start WINNING for a change.

Very good systems for flat betting, also thru math shows you how to win in craps baccarat and roulette. Very good book

This is a sketchy at best account of a powerful man during his time. The book is short and did not give me enough details to his insight on Vegas except that he was a gambloholic. It left me wanting to know more about this man and his rise to power. Honestly I enjoyed more his accounts as the publisher of the Hollywood Reporter and the power he had there than his accounts of trying to build the Flamingo. I thought the book would give more insight on early Vegas but to me gave more to early Hollywood.

Whatta story! If Mr. Wilkerson only had control of his addiction there is no telling what he could have accomplished. This is a talented man who had half the world by the tail, but couldn't get that 2nd half. He was able to accomplish a lot and was the creator of modern casinos in Las Vegas. This is a short story, but filled with interesting information. Highly recommended.

One man's chronic gambling habit became the foundation for modern Las Vegas: The Man Who Invented Las Vegas documents his rags-to-riches story and his impact on building the casinos and hotels of Las Vegas. Black and white photos pepper an examination of publisher Wilkerson's life and investments in the Las Vegas image in a fascinating blend of local history and biography.

I had gotten this book from the library about 6 years ago. After running it through the paces of a computer program, I did find that his systems do work.
The systems are based on what goes up, must come down. Well, in real life, that is not always true, at least in your bankrolls time frame. You must use money management. Also, I have found that you MUST run several progressions at the same time. It helps you ride out the ones that have gone a bit long losing.
I found his talk about poss. rigged casinos a bit dated. This was also written before online gambling, which would have been nice. He mentioned several times about the minimum table limits being too high, but they aren't too high online. Too bad those games were avoided because of this.
His talk of God and other things eternal I thought was well done, and did not go on. Plus, you can skip right over it to the systems. Would like to compare notes with others sep2034athotmail.

The systems really work, that's why I gave it 5 stars, but it's too full of syrup to be a really enjoyable read.

People who love the Lord will like this one very much. Atheists will despise it deeply. On the surface it appears to be a collection of mathematical gambling systems, but in his discussion of the phenomenon of luck, he gets into the role of the Almighty, and turns it into a treatise on the spiritual evolution of the human race. An unusual book, notable for its very great integrity. A fun book to read.

This book is a must read to the people who want to know facts that happened worldwide. If you are looking a book just for relax and patience you can buy it... but if you are looking a book to learn to play and beating the Roulette search another book.

This book is good just for the people who loves to play Roulette as a hobby and not as a bussiness.

In fact, the book related tables from a page to other, this is boring and it take out emotion of the book, besides the tables are confusing and misunderstable.

The book is divided in sections about fact that happened worldwide, and it takes almost all the book just to tell a strategy that is just write in one chapter.

If you are a serious roulette player than there are two books that i have found to be must read books. This one and Frank Scoblete's Spin Roulette Gold. Barnharts' book concentrates on bias wheels but also contains some very lively stories. Definitely a book to have!

This is to roulette what "Beat the dealer" was to blackjack, the first book to use science to devise practical winning systems for this game of chance. The book is very well-written and readable, with accounts of million-dollar biased-wheel coups through the ages. By the way, don't let anyone ever tell you that you can't find biased wheels these days. With persistence they certainly can be, and the % returns can be staggering.

There are probably only two really useful and accurate books on how to play the lottery.Ê The first is Ziemba, W. T. (1986) ,Dr.Ê Z's 6/49 Lotto Guidebook, and the second is this nice little volume.Ê

The authorsÕ focus is on winning the greatest possible amount if your numbers are selected.Ê The book is based on the important idea that, while there is no way to increase your chances of winning, Êthere are plays which will increase or decrease the expected payoff in the unlikely event that you do win. Ê

If you pick numbers the same way other people do, then you will have to share your winningsÑsomething that could be very disappointing indeed. That is why, with the exception of this book and Dr. Z's book, the most popular lottery books will hurt you the most.

Henze and Riedwyl's book on the lottery is very interesting in that it gives a honest mathematical and statistical view of the lottery. Unlike the vast majority of [other] books about lotteries, Henze and Riedwyl know mathematics, statistics, and probability theory. They make no claims that you will win (because you won't), but if you like recreational mathematics, it's an enjoyable book.

If you want to stay away from lingering lottery myths
and learn the truth and nothing but the truth on how to play lottery, this book is most valuable source of information. Based on the analysis of many millions of played combinations in many countries, it singles out the foolish styles of play that the typical lottery player follows. I found it especially interesting to see that playing foolishly means having to share the jackpot with thousands of other winners. Compared to most other books on the lottery, this book is completely honest. It is the definite lottery book for smart lotto players!

John Scarne was an authority on card playing, and he wanted you to know that. He never lets you forget. Scarne's book is filed with self-promotion, and that's actually part of its charm. A lot of the so-called "according to Hoyle" books describe various games competently, but this book has personality, bombastic though it is. It's a fun read.

But Scarne wasn't perfect. His blackjack strategy is just plain wrong, so don't pay attention to it - Find a book on blackjack if that's what you want. Also, I find his description of cribbage very muddled and confusing. Some of the games are obscure, such as Radio Pinochle, which, as far as I can tell, in never played by anyone anywhere.

The discussion of cheating was groundbreaking, and still worth reading. Scarne felt that games would be more honest if everyone knew how to cheat, so he includes not only a section devoted to the subject, but specific notes under each game's section describing cheating methods peculiar to that game.

I recommend it highly, but take some of his advice with a grain of salt.

John Scarne is a master. His life is as intriguing and entertaining as his card playing. The man was simply a genius. I am lucky enough to have uncovered copies of his books from my father. This book is one of them and I learned to play a lot of card games from it. Its truly unbelievable.

If you can find any Scarne books do so.

"Scarne on Cards" has got to be the most entertaining book about card-playing ever written. John Scarne was a card-playing genius -- and a witty writer to boot. This book focuses only on a few of the most popular card games, specifically those that can be successfully gambled at -- poker, blackjack, gin rummy, pinochle. But the lessons taken from those games could be applied to hundreds of others. Scarne doesn't just explain the rules; he explains how the games are won. If you're only a marginal card player, even a cursory reading of this book will make you better. At times it's technical, but Scarne's style is anything but dry. You'll enjoy this book. It's worth the effort to find a copy.

This book doesnt really cover much ground as far as internet gambling is concerned. A paragraph writeup on each of the 6 major gambling software providers and a brushup on the rules of the games. Thats for the casino part. The horse racing section gives a rundown on the different horse racing sites and some handicapping info. All in all I would rate this book 2 stars. The information is too general to be of much use.

I have read a number of books on this topic, and Brokopp's is by far the best. I learned more and I learned it quicker than with anything else. I didn't buy the book looking for "secrets" to win. I wanted to know what internet gambling is all about and this book told me in concise, easy-reading form. Also, I'm a horse racing fan and the section on horse racing and the new ways to handicap and wager was very enlightening This book is not a gimmick. It's the real thing. No promises, just knowledge and advice. I'd recommend it to anyone.

There's no sure-fire way to beat internet gambling. All you can do is be prepared for what's out there and the traps to avoid. This book has it all. It'll get you started in a safe and informed manner. No cumbersome detail or nonsense about "tricks" that don't exist. Also, no boloney about beating the sites out of bonus cash. Brokopp lets you know there's a price to be paid for everything. If you're willing to devote hours of time to get $... bucks here or there, that's your business. This book is not about that. It's a common sense, get-started approach that's a quick and easy read. Also, the section on horse racing is outstanding. I look at that part of the book as an unexpected bonus.

It was an interesting read but I had to suspend too much disbelief. J. V. Adams begins Last Trip to Vegas with great question -- how much is a loved one's life worth. His answer is everything and this leads to a series events that quickly change all the characters lives. I found the reactions of almost every character to be unbelievable as the story went on. One or two characters acting strangely is entertaining but all of them acting strangely is just bewildering. Everyone just rolled with the punches no matter how extreme the circumstances. Still, Adams has a good writing style. With rework to the last half of the book, this could be made into an entertaining movie.

Jack Kathio made his living as a gambler. His friend, Frank McMahan, was a cop with a loving wife named Mia. Jack was in love with Mia and decided to lead Frank into the gambling fever. Once done Frank would lose everything in hope of scoring on the next hand of cards. Jack was sure Frank would also lose Mia this way and he would be there to snatch her up.

To do this Jack needed quick cash. As luck would have it, Jack had B-negative blood, which was hard to find. He turned out to be the perfect HLA match for Sheila Carlucci, the daughter of wealthy Vito Carlucci. If Sheila did not find a donor fast, she would die from Leukemia. So Jack agreed to be Sheila's donor, but Vito would have to give everything he owned to Jack. Jack even found a way to get around the law too. Jack Kathio, the gambler in love, was going for the ultimate prize!

**** Here is a fascinating story with an even bigger moral. I won't tell what it is though. Jack is no Hero and Mia is no Heroine, which made this tale unique to say the least! In fact, Jack may very well be one of the most realistic characters I have ever read. The author obviously did thorough research into making this character! I was appalled of Jack at the beginning. Yet as the book continued, my attitude toward Jack, and a few others, did too. I am very happy to recommend this book to the public. I believe Jack will remain in every Reader's mind for a very long time after the last page has been read! ****

This is a veryfacinating story of the gambling world, of which Mr. Adams has done a lot of research.This shows how people intertwine in each others lives to attain what they think they want most in life with little regard to the outcome.I recommend this book to everyone who may be facinated by the world of "Las Vegas". I hope to see this book made into a movie someday. Mr Adams is an excellent story teller!

He kept all of his secrets. If you know the basics of racing you will learn nothing. Definate thumbs down!!

You don't need to purchase The Sheets to benefit from Len Ragozin's insight. You may, as some have, find a way to incorporate his theories into your personal methodology. Understanding thoroughbred form cycles is critical to successful wagering and this book shows the way. But you will have to work a little to master the concepts he presents. Until Ragozin wrote this book I was mystified by the unpredictable declines and sudden rises in the performances of young horses. Now some of my best bets come in three year old races. And I don't subscribe to the expensive figures.
What I have learned is worth many times the purchase price.

While Len Ragozin may, in part, be promoting his Sheet service, he does begin to impart very important information about the sport, handicapping, and some of the aspects of the game that necessitated the development of his number system. He actually does disclose how to develop the numbers, the problem is, partly, in getting the raw data that goes into them. Ultimately, it is the analysis of the numbers and the patterns combined with sound money management that offers the promise of success at the windows. Read the book. Adapt the handicapping principles to the information available from the Daily Racing Form, if you wish. One thing I think you will find is that Len Ragozin wants to share his knowledge and wisdom. The data, however, is for sale.
