I have studied gambling nearly all my life and have bought and read countless books on the subject and most were not really that helpful and the systems all had failure modes. Bruce Irwin claims that Midas system has never failed. He gives great stories of how he came about getting the system (from a deceased Uncle) and how he traveled the world for about 20 years playing it and WINNING thousands of dollars. I have ridded myself of nearly all my gambling books except for The Winner's Edge, Full Time Gambler, and of course, Gambling's Greatest Secrets Revealed (a book I wrote myself!) which tells how to win by making only flat bets with no need to raise your bets.
This was a really enjoyable read.

I actually pulled this out of the local library for my Mom because she likes to hit the casinos sometimes. She's not a big reader so I wound up reading it myself, and it was really fun. The book is mostly annecdotes and stories of his shaky beginnings and how he used his system to try and show naysayers that it actually worked; but hidden in there are valuable lessons you must use in order to reach his system's full potential over the long run. Not that it takes long to turn a profit. The first time I ever used the advice from Mr. Irwin (last week) I turned $200 into $1000 in about 15-20 minutes. The $800 made me about even for all the money I've gambled and lost over my lifetime. Now I'm ready to start earning some money. Thank you Mr. Irwin and thank you Uncle Murray!
