Beat the Casino

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!"

Most of the books on gambling are crap. Not this one. Most books will fill three quarter of the content to teach you how to play the game but Beat The Casino gets right to the point. I cant say enough good things about this book. It will worth every penny you ever spend and make you more. But do not believe for a second you're gonna score big time. You still can lose but you will win more consistently. Dont let it get to your head. I welcome further discussion on the subject if you email me.

When I first bought my copy of "BEAT THE CASINO" I thought the title was probably misleading. How wrong I was!" BEAT THE CASINO" was the first of several hundred books and publications I purchased when I decided it was time to either learn how to play without losing or quit playing. At first I didn't quite understand the concept but time and again I would re-read this book and when the light came on it was pure joy! This book not only is for gambling, it is for anything that has to do with numbers in any way. From following the gambling systems to balancing your household budget this is the information you need. Once I learned about the "LAW OF DIMINISHING PROBABILITY" my losing trips were fewer and the winning soon began. My only regret is that I didn't find it sooner! An absolute MUST for anyone participating in games of chance. Frank Barstow is a genius!

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.
