Guerrilla Gambling: How to Beat the Casinos at Their Own Games!

Grounded in a fundamental belief which challenges the popular marketing of casinos to the eager gambling populous (Ooh--losing IS fun!), Frank Scoblete uses common sense and the experience of some gambling friends to introduce and expound upon the most popular casino games of today. Inside are meaty sections on Roullette, Craps, Blackjack, Poker, video/slot machines and other, less ubiquitous casino gaming variations. Each game is introduced in adequate detail including table layouts, basic strategy, the kind of ambience surrounding a typical game, and some information concerning the odds. Games deemed statistically worth playing have 'guerrilla' playing strategy chapters wherein some winning strategies are posed. These tactics include ways of watching for a swing of the odds in your favor ('scanning' in Blackjack), or techniques for getting in on the action during a positive trend ('five-count' in craps, 'Big Numbers' in roullette). The book closes with a fun chapter covering 'a day in the life' which has the author and some cohorts enjoying Vegas during a day where many methods were used in action with non-sensationalistic, but positive, results. There's also a bit on money management, the guerrilla mindset, a glossary and other informative side bars. Many further reading suggestions throughout.
