Summary: This book teaches you real stuff for winning real money!
Review: Although this book has been around for years, I believe that the content is up to date. Offers excellent information on how and why systems work (or not, as is usually the case), betting progression, and a unique insight into bet selection. Don't miss out on the best book on casinos and gaming - it will save you many times the purchase price.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I read this several years ago and still refer to it often. Some of the mathematical conclusions may not be totally accurate, but this does not diminish its worth in the least. For anyone interested gambling, or just numbers, it cannot be beat IMO. Many, many ideas on "increasing your odds", interesting anecdotes, and basic info on casino games. Without a doubt, it is worth far more than the 6 bucks!

Summary: Great guide to Las Vegas Gambling Games
Review: If you are going to endure a 4 hour flight or car ride to Vegas, this book is for you. It is a well-written, understandable guide to casino games. It does not try to sell you on a system, or on cash management. It does try to educate you on the odds of winning. It gives you the straight scoop about the games with the best odds- craps and blackjack. It also warns you about games with less favorable odds- the "Big Wheel", roulette and others. Go to the casino with a fighting chance- read Barstow's book.(as you drive through Barstow!) so, as the dealers say in Vegas, "Good Luck!"
