I have not read a great deal of gambling literature, but I really enjoyed this book, which I borrowed from my local library before a 4 day trip to Vegas. As a rookie gambler, I am sure that I saved some money because of this book. I loved the practical knowledge such as not to gamble at the airport and some of the stories and advice that is given out in a friendly manner. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning a trip to the casino anytime soon.
How NOT To Gamble In A Casino
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Andrew Glazer's "Casino Gambling The Smart Way" is unique among gambling books. Unlike all the others I've read it tells you up front that you CANNOT win in a gambling casino. But fear not - it doesn't preach to you either. It doesn't tell you that you shouldn't go to a casino to have a fun time. Instead, Glazer tells us, in short, amusing, and straight-to-the-point chapters, how to avoid losing our shirts . . . how to treat a visit to a gambling casino as entertainment rather than gambling per se. And yes . . . you CAN win, and frequently will. But the main thrust of Glazer's excellent book isn't on winning. It's on having a great time. Bill Alan

I've read a lot of books on gambling, but this one clearly offers the best insight on how to enjoy casinos and get the most out of your experience. I highly recommend this book. Don't go to a casino without having read it!!! A must-read.
One of the funnest, most down to earth books on the subject

Most gambling books overwhelm me with their technical mumbo-jumbo. I gamble mostly just to have fun, and I don't want to spend my time trying to dissect every game into some mathematical formula. Glazer's book gave me some great street-smart tips without turning gambling into a rocket science. The short chapters are great, and it's a blast to read.
