I love to gamble and this book has been great for learning new games I would never, ever have had the guts to try. Sitting at slots all day just doesn't cut it anymore, plus it is way, way too expensive (that's why casinos love slots!). This book has pictures of actual table games along with clear descriptions of how to play, the best bets to make, the bets to avoid, and table etiquette. So, after reading a chapter about a particular game that looks fun to you, you can actually sit down at a table (pick a quiet one at first) and make some smart, easy bets. No more worrying about looking like a fool. If anything, you will be the one wondering how other people can be placing those stupid bets that have the highest edge for the casino instead of the player. This book makes it very clear which bets are good for you and which for the casino. This doesn't mean you will always win (there would be no casinos if this was the case), but you will be betting to improve your chances of winning instead of betting in ways to ensure you lose your money pronto. Plus, it has excellent advice on "bankroll" management, about how to make your money last and what not to do, like use your charge card to get more cash. Money management is just as important as learning the right bets, especially if you really like to gamble.
I have learned enough new games (craps, black jack, pai gow poker) so that there is always something to play depending on my mood (craps if I feel super-social, black jack if I want to intently focus, and pai gow to be a little more artsy). I plan on learning some more. I still like slots, but I am no longer limited. Tables just don't scare me anymore. Thank you so much KISS Guide!
