Summary: Excellent Information
Review: When I opened this book, I couldn't put it down. Patrick's analysis of casino money management was excellent. He offers many constructive suggestions on how to save yourself money at the various games. I then read it a second time. Although I'm sure the author has many critics of his strategies, his philosophy is sound - keep as much profit as possible when things are going good and bail out when things are heading south.I did not agree with his feelings on blackjack being a "poor" choice especially when you are playing for profit combined with comps. You can certainly play blackjack for an extended period without getting hurt too badly while racking up excellent comp time. Even a using just basic strategy, the average player shouldn't have his bankroll decimated too substantially unless you are playing with a shortage of funds. However, I did agree with his suggestions on attacking the dealers weak cards whenever possible. Patrick's chapters on Baccarat, Craps and Pai Gow poker are especially insightful although I'm sure the math wizards would roast his opinions. The author makes a good point that most of us who make a couple of trips a year to a casino are not playing in "the long run". We need to get the most bang for our buck while not losing our shirt. I believe this book would be an excellent addition to any casino visitor's library. There are very few titles out there dealing with just money management alone. Combined with a few good strategy books, the player would have an excellent chance of coming out ahead.
