At a time when casino gambling is experiencing unprecedented popularity and media exposure, comes a dose of reality you are unlikely to find anywhere else. A brand new book: How To Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken not only provides expert advice on the correct way to play the popular casino games, but is unique in its honest and realistic assessment of games in which you have no realistic chance of winning. The combination of practical, honest information and humor makes this book the first of its kind. The author does not pretend that there is actually a proper strategy where one does not exist (e.g. with slot machines), but instead focuses on how to wring the best odds out of the best games. Thanks to the easy-going manner and light-hearted attitude, the reader will not only learn the expert way to play each game, but will enjoy learning while being entertained. Explanations of gambling systems, money management and gambler's ruin are included along with a discussion of the value of Comps. Casino Gambling is treated as the kind of Entertainment Activity, or hobby, it actually is for the vast majority of those who frequent casinos. Since 25% of the entire adult population of the United States visited a casino at least once last year and since television and media coverage has become standard fare, a good working knowledge of the various games, which are playable and which are sucker games, is essential information for the informed consumer. In this regard, How To Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken hits the Jackpot.
