This book is an excellent memoir of one man's life in the casinos (in this case publisher Lyle Stuart). Well-written and engaging, the only reason it does not get five stars is because there is no mathematical way of beating games such as craps, baccarat, or blackjack (without counting, which is not covered in this book). Still, if you don't know how to properly gamble in a casino, this volume will help you. Very good!
Lyle does it again!

This book is about developing a winning philosophy for gambling. While it does include some strategic tips for playing casino games, the book does not set out to teach you how to play. Instead of focusing on the rules and strategy for individual games, it teaches money managment and how to maximize your chances of leaving the casino with more money in your pocket than you brought in. Lyle Stuart is an acknowledged gambling expert, and he offers up his own experiences in playing and watching casino games. Even though there is a bit too much self-congratulations throughout, his stories are entertaining, and he does a good job of explaining complex odds to the layman. This is a very useful book for anyone who has a basic understanding of casino play.
Entertaining and Accurate
