Knock-Out Blackjack: The Easiest Card-Counting System Ever Devised45 reviews
Olaf Vancura, Ken Fuchs

Huntington Press, 1998

One of great counting systems
I usually don't write reviews, but I decided to on this one, because there are some reviews that are idiotic. So, let me share with you my experience. Not only have I read this book, I have actually USED the system. Not only have I used this system, I have also used Hi-Low, and Hi-Low OptI. This book specifically tells you why he wrote it from the beginning, and mentioned all the ins and outs ...

Lee Nelson, Tysen Streib, ...

Huntington Press, 2009

New Techniques to Old Goal
Main point of playing cards is to accumulate chips. This book illuminates some of the newer techniques being used in NLHE tournaments. This book has brought me from a beginner level fish to an intermediate multi-table tournament player. I'm able to use the information from this book to help estimate my opponent's hands based on their bets, as well as mask my own hand's strength. Highly ...

Dennis N. Griffin, Frank Cullotta

Huntington Press, 2007

The book Cullotta told me who killed my father 27 years ago
I have never written a review for a book before, but I never had a book IMPACT my life like this one. From the book Cullotta, I discovered who killed my father and his barmaid 27 years ago. My name is Paul and I am the eldest son of Ronald Scharff. My father and Patricia Freeman were killed in Lakemoor, Illinois in 1981 by Larry Neumann. Neumann was one of Frank Cullotta's Hole in the Wall ... 		  
  







  
  
The Theory of Blackjack: The Compleat Card Counter's Guide to the Casino Game of 21 (6th Edition, Indexed)14 reviews
Peter A. Griffin

Huntington Press, 1999

Great book for those interested in theory!
Although this is a great book you really need to know what it is and what it IS NOT! It is not an introduction to blackjack. It's assumed you already know how to play the game. It is not an introduction to card counting. The author assumes you already know a card counting system, or at least have a basic understanding of what one entails. It is PROBABLY not going to make you a better player. ... 		  
  







  
  
Kill Phil: The Fast Track to Success in No-Limit Hold 'Em Poker Tournaments: Revised and Expanded Edition44 reviews
Blair Rodman, Lee Nelson, ...

Huntington Press, 2009

Very Honest and effective
OK, I have read some books out there and I had some initial thoughts about the need for such a book. This book is for the beginners or the inexperienced ones in big tournaments and confrontations with big players. You know, the type of players that ask you how much you've got (chips in your stack, they mean) and just by the way you answer (not the anwser itself!) can understand what kind of ... 		  
  







  
  
Video Poker for the Intelligent Beginner2 reviews
Bob Dancer

Huntington Press, 2009

Great Video Poker Book
I visit Las Vegas once a year. This book is a great companion. You can also purchase strategy cards for the various games; "jacks or better", "deuces wild", etc. If you want to play video poker, this is a must have. 		  
  







  
  
Gambling 102: The Best Strategies for All Casino Games5 reviews
Michael Shackleford

Huntington Press, 2005

The Wizard provides mathematically-correct strategies
First a disclaimer: I work for the Wizard and I edited this book for him. That said, one reason I work for him in the first place is because I respect that he knows what he's talking about. He's the worldwide authority on gambling math, and his website WizardOfOdds.com is the definitive resource on proper gambling strategy. Gambling 102 assumes the reader already knows how to play the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Battle for Las Vegas: The Law Vs. the Mob15 reviews
Dennis Griffin

Huntington Press, 2006

A great read, very informative
I just finished reading this book and highly recommend it. This book pretty much focuses on the era when Tony Spilotro "King of the Strip" ran the strip with his alleged criminal activities and ties to the mob. There is also a lot of information on Frank Cullotta and his subsequent role as informant. The secondary focus of the book is the term of Sheriff John McCarthy and his team and ... 		  
  







  
  
The Man With the $100,000 Breasts And Other Gambling Stories39 reviews
Michael Konik

Huntington Press, 1999

Man with $100,000 Breasts
I had heard about this guy a long time ago and finally found this book. After reading the first chapter, I was a bit dissapointed that the story of the man with the $100,000 breasts was over, but to my suprise, the stories just got better. Each chapter tells a different gambling story, which I must say, were all great stories. I think a lot of people won't read this book because of the title, ...

Gambling Wizards: Conversations with the World's Greatest Gamblers9 reviews
Richard W. Munchkin

Huntington Press, 2003

My favourite gambling book (out of more than 50!)
This book has made me more money than any "How-to" book. The first time I read it, it was "only" entertainment. I thought "This was a really funny book, but I did not learn much". However, it was amazing how often I come to think of one passage or another while contemplating how to bet! I kept re-reading it, getting very useful hints on what to look for. It is now two years ago since I first read ... 		  
  







  
  
Whale Hunt in the Desert: Secrets of a Vegas Superhost1 review
Deke Castleman

Huntington Press, 2009

Whale Hunt
This book is a must for anyone interested in casino life. It revolves around a Las Vegas 'super host' , Steve Cyr, and his day to day duties, and a bit of history. It also has generic info that does not directly deal with Cyr. I found this a very interesting and entertaining book.

Confessions of a Stripper: Tales from the VIP Room10 reviews
Lacey Lane

Huntington Press, 2004

Funny Stories
If you're looking for the nitty gritty of the Dancers lives and activity this may not be the book for you - PG-13 at it's best. I was expecting at least an R rating if not more graphic based on the topic and nature of the book. Now that said, it is a wonderful and pleasureable read. Anyone who has visited a Adult Dance Club either as a Patron or Employee will find this a humorous quick read or ... 		  
  







  
  
Tax Help for Gamblers: Poker & Other Casino Games
Jean Scott, Marissa Chien

Huntington Press, 2007

The complete tax implications of winning and losing at gambling are pretty much a mystery to accountants, gamblers and even the Internal Revenue Service itself. The IRS offers surprisingly few details to guide gamblers through the tax maze. Furthermore, what the IRS does say is often general, vague, open to individual interpretation, and contradictory; IRS publications and personnel often leave you with more questions than answers. Tax Help for ...

Of Rats and Men: Oscar Goodman's Life from Mob Mouthpiece to Mayor of Las Vegas3 reviews
John L. Smith

Huntington Press, 2003

More Insight from Smith ? an eminent authority on the mob
The copious notes and eight pages of bibliography supporting John L. Smith's meticulously researched biographical look at Oscar Goodman, former mob attorney - presently the two-term mayor of Las Vegas, impressed me. Talk about "insider" information! Smith has long been quoted as a preeminent authority on mob history and "wise guy" relationships. In his book, "Of Rats and Men: Oscar Goodman's Life ... 		  
  







  
  
Burning the Tables in Las Vegas: Keys to Success in Blackjack and in Life12 reviews
Ian Andersen

Huntington Press, 2003

Ian Andersen is the best!
There are simply no other players quite as experienced as Ian Andersen. Even if you are not interested in counting cards, his experiences make for great stories and wonderful anecdotes. If you are serious about card-counting, then this book will pay for itself with the Ultimate Gambit. This book is perfect for your first trip to a casino as well as the experienced card-counter.
