American Casino Guide 2007.......2007-09-07
Do NOT buy this book used. I did and when it arrived a good portion of the pages had been torn out. I sent it back and NEVER received my refund.
BUYER BEWARE!!!
COUPONS.......2007-09-05
LOTS OF FOOD COUPONS FOR VEGAS,,, PAYS FOR ITSELF WITH JUST ONE VISIT. LOTS OF 2 FOR 1 HOTEL NITES...
Many Useful Coupons and Info.......2007-06-08
The American Casino Guide is well worth the money to use in Las Vegas. There are a few other out of state casino coupons but this is mainly for Las Vegas. Great buy one get one free buffet, shows and hotel offers. The only problem with this book is the binding. It's coming unglued in the middle, not a big deal though. A lot of info for new table gamers. Highly recommend this book!
American Casino Guide.......2007-05-12
This is the third year I have bought this book for the Las Vegas coupons. This year, we are bringing our 19-year-old son to a convention, and I noticed that even the buffet coupons require that each user be 21! I was disappointed, as I bought an extra book. Hope they don't enforce it. That being said, it is a valuable guide and pays for itself many times over.
Ms. Hagerman.......2007-05-12
I wasn't pleased with this years guide. It didn't have nearly the amount 0f buffet coupons that last years guide had. We were looking for the Sahara,Rio, and the Palms especially since we really had a good time last year out in Vegas with them. We were really disappointed with this years guide.

Fortune's Formula is a fascinating study of the connections between such seemingly unrelated topics as gambling, information theory, stock investing, and applied mathematics. The story involves the stunning brainpower of men such as MIT professor Claude Shannon, who single-handedly invented information theory, the science behind the Internet and all digital media; Ed Thorpe; and John Kelly of Bell Laboratories, who developed the "Kelly criterion," a now-legendary investment strategy for maximizing growth while controlling risk. Initially, Shannon and Thorpe took Kelly's theory to Las Vegas and applied it to roulette and blackjack. Later, they took it to Wall Street and cleaned up--Shannon made a personal fortune while Thorpe created the highly successful hedge firm Princeton-Newport Partners. They both discovered that Kelly's system was particularly effective when applied to arbitrage (minute price differences that result from market inefficiencies). As Poundstone ably demonstrates, the merits of Kelly's criterion are still hotly debated today.
Poundstone has a tendency to meander in his writing, but his asides are so revealing and interesting that they add, rather than detract, from the narrative. The book also includes a cast of fascinating and colorful characters as varied as Ivan Boesky, Warren Buffet, Rudolph Giuliani, and notorious mobsters such as Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. In explaining the lasting impact of the work done by Shannon, Thorpe, and Kelly, Poundstone even explains Kelly's system for those wishing to follow his formula, offering readers both theoretical and practical lessons. Whether viewed as a how-to guide or straight scientific and financial history, Fortune's Formula proves an entertaining and illuminating analysis of "the most successful gambling system of all time." --Shawn Carkonen
Book Description
In 1956 two Bell Labs scientists discovered the scientific formula for getting rich. One was mathematician Claude Shannon, neurotic father of our digital age, whose genius is ranked with Einstein’s. The other was John L. Kelly Jr., a Texas-born, gun-toting physicist. Together they applied the science of information theory—the basis of computers and the Internet—to the problem of making as much money as possible, as fast as possible.
Shannon and MIT mathematician Edward O. Thorp took the “Kelly formula” to Las Vegas. It worked. They realized that there was even more money to be made in the stock market. Thorp used the Kelly system with his phenomenonally successful hedge fund, Princeton-Newport Partners. Shannon became a successful investor, too, topping even Warren Buffett’s rate of return. Fortune’s Formula traces how the Kelly formula sparked controversy even as it made fortunes at racetracks, casinos, and trading desks. It reveals the dark side of this alluring scheme, which is founded on exploiting an insider’s edge.
Shannon believed it was possible for a smart investor to beat the market—and Fortune’s Formula will convince you that he was right.

Things you don't get to learn elsewhere.......2007-09-02
Someone recommended this book to me as an investment book. At the time I was not sure how gambling and quantitative approach to investment are related. But this book, through its illustration of Kelly's criteria provides a new way to think about investment strategy. I learned all the moot theories in school - Mean portfolio optimization, diversification, efficient market theory, etc. But thinking of information theory, Kelly's criteria and ever present arbitrage can give one quite an edge.
The book interweaves mathematics, history and stories quite well and is a very good read. Imagine an investment book that reads almost like a fiction novel :)
The material is very well researched and it contains history of gambling, and investment and how information theory evolved. The book also gives a view into how a powerful school of thought can eclipse other schools of thought. in this case, Samuelson, et all from MIT refute geometric returns from Kelly's criteria even though working proof is present and the alpha factor in returns is not a myth.
I am glad the person recommended this book to me.
An engaging story.......2007-09-01
Wow, I loved this book. A well written and easy to read history of the evolution of investment theory. Starting with off track betting at the beginning of the century and ending with the collapse of Long Term Capital Management, this is an engaging story.
I was particularly interested in the application of betting theory to investing. The fact that some investment strategies actually include a point of zero value was very informative.
A great read.
KELLY'S METHOD OF INVESTEMENT ALLOCATION.......2007-07-21
KELLY, a Texan mathematician died at 41 but left behind a wonderful method/conceptual framework applicable to investments as well as casino gambling. It is a fascinating book and the mathematics professors provide a wonderful drama. The author has made complicated math/statistics concepts real simple even for those who don't like maths.
Fun and Informative.......2007-07-19
Yes, perhaps the book's title is a bit misleading. Those who gave bad reviews to the book may have been looking for a get rich quick formula to beat the market or the casinos. The book focuses on the Kelly criterion and also gives quite a bit of attention to the efficient market hypothesis. The strength of the book is in its portrayals of the characters involved in the stories behind the Kelly Criterion and Efficient Market Theory.
Admittedly, at times it was a stretch to connect some of the players in this drama to the Kelly Criterion or the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Rudy Guiliani is one of several people in the book who are quite tangential to the main story line. However, I found this not to be a weakness of the book. Indeed, it enhanced my enjoyment of the story.
Those who are looking for a hard core mathematical examination of some of the topics of the book will be disappointed. As will those who are looking for a quick how-to in applying some of the theories. However, the vast majority of people will enjoy getting an inside look at some of the personalities involved in the development of these concepts and will love seeing how some of the theories held up in the "real world".
Against James Pragma's review.......2007-06-11
James pragma's review below is so bad that i felt the need to write my own review. let me clarify some of what James gets wrong, and also clarify what the book is actually about.
James obviously misunderstood the book (and that is not the writer's fault in this case). Poundstone clarifies the Kelly betting system which was originally applied to card-counting but has uses beyond it. the central example and climax of the book is how the kelly betting system and the controversy surrounding it in light of efficient markets theory can help us explain the tragic blow up of a powerhouse hedge fund. the book is about risk, how to manage risk and avoid ruin. that has nothing to do with card counting as a system to get an advantage over the house (Which everybody knows about), the point is that Kelly invented a way to maximize long-term reward and minimize risk. but did he? that's the question.
James Pragma's review is nonsense. he failed to understand the book. in addition to what i say about, Poundstone gives us the history of math, information theory and gambling as it relates to the core story i mention above. it was a fun, informative book.

Fantastic Book.......2005-06-14
I read this book, along with "Casino Operations Management" by Kilby, Fox, and Lucas. Both books were EXTREMELY helpful. They both start by assuming you know nothing about the gaming industry. They then show you the history and the evolution of the industry and then take you under the covers to show you the hows and whys of casino management and its decisions. I would HIGHLY recommend both books to anyone looking to gain insight into this fascinating industry.

Play like Chan (would be nice).......2007-03-30
This is the best beginner/intermediate book that I have seen. It covers all the popular poker games of the day plus general tips on all the games and how to play at a Casino. John also discusses some of the great players he has played against. I must mention the paper is excellent (no cheap stuff here) and the illustrations (photos?) of the cards make it very easy to use. Highly recommended
Wide-ranging strategy guide by a poker pro.......2005-11-07
This a beautifully produced, pricey paperback covering the poker games that Chan plays. Of course, he doesn't just play, he wins big. By my count, he's won ten WSOP events.
The book is something of a scrapbook of poker photos, with strategies on many poker games: basically stud, omaha, both high and high low, as well as limit and no-limit Texas hold'em. He describes his thinking as a hold'em hand progresses -- very useful.
By the way, there is little math in book, so if you're looking for the clearest expression of pot odds, implied odds, look elswhere. (For a book that leads you safely through the odds jungle, see Weighing the Odds in Hold'em Poker by King Yao.)
Remember the list price is $30. The qualiy paper and color photos cost more. In fact, even the hands are shown in color photographs.
This is a worthwhile book with insights from a successful player, covering too many kinds of poker to be the ultimate in-depth guide to any one of them. Yet it scores in readability way above the serious classics by Sklansky, Malmuth and others.
It's not the best first book on poker as it's too advanced for a beginner, but it may well be the best second one.
Fantastic.......2005-09-22
Saw this book on amazon.com and figured, what the hell, I'll buy it and see what happens. Got it a week later, read the section on limit hold em first, since that's about the only game I play well, and was surprised my gameplay was very different to what was mentioned. After reading it and trying out the different techniques, I was pleasantly surprised to see my profits increasing. Well worth the price and the time to read. Have since read through the other sections and am finding myself getting some good earnings in Omaha and 5 card stud as well, although 5 card stud is a bit tricky.
I definitely believe this book is good for beginners and advanced players alike. Well written, easy to read, clear illustrations and excellent presentation overall.
An in-depth discussion of card-counting or related mathematical methodology.......2005-09-12
A solid "how-to" guide co-written by the highly-regarded poker player Johnny Chan, whose titles include 2002 WSOP Match Play NLH Champion and 2003 WSOP No Limit Hold-em Champion among many others, Play Poker Like Johnny Chan: Book One Casino Poker is a simple guide to poker basics for players who are out to win. Chapters discuss general poker concepts for the uninitiated, and the rules and favorable versus unfavorable situations for many poker variants including Limit Hold-em, Seven Card Stud, Eight Or Better Stud, Omaha High, Omaha Hi-Low, and No-Limit Hold-em. Some background information on tournaments and internet poker is included, as is general (and very sound) strategy advice for the would-be career poker player, as well as a mentions of famous and skilled individuals Chan has played with. Notably absent from Play Poker Like Johnny Chan is any in-depth discussion of card-counting or related mathematical methodology; it is primarily an introductory guide to give the reader a hands-on understanding of game mechanics as well as the importance of the professional mindset. Chan's key rules - keep playing when you are winning, stop when you are losing, stay to an environment where you feel comfortable, take a vacation from poker when you need it (never try to win the money needed for a vacation from poker when you need one, that's a certain way to burnout), and discipline yourself to move back down to smaller tables when you're losing at big tables - are vital and should be taken to heart by all prospective professional poker players. Full-color photographs illustrate this handy primer, which is printed on glossy paper.
Good Beginner's Poker Book.......2005-08-09
This book cover the basic rules and strategies of different poker games. Personally, I did not find this book very useful partially due to my participation in many tournaments and cash games weekly.
All in all this book is nice to read, great for beginners, and printed on nice material, but I would not recommend for intermediate poker players. However, if you are often beat in cash games or tournaments then this book may be useful.

Excellent Basics.......2000-02-17
For those daring enought to enter the world of casino operations, this book is a must read. It is filled with a carefully laid out analysis and explanation of the casino operations. This is a subject that is extremely difficult to find actual documentation regarding such simple things as net win. A first rate choice for the casino operator.

Customer Reviews:
Not for Newbies!!.......2007-08-25
This book is not for newbies! Frank Scoblete teaches a new method for craps that I just could not understand. I was looking for something more basic.
Casinos Will Be Glad You Read It!.......2007-03-24
In reading this book I found absolutely nothing that would be anything close to a winning system. The "Five Count" and all variations, when tested at length is merely a way of limiting your losses in hopes of staying at the table longer and hitting a hot roll before you run out of money. As with most craps books this one may teach you to manage your money and remind you about discipline.
If you want to win in Vegas don't buy this book.......2007-01-10
I started playing craps this past year and really enjoy playing the game. Naturally, I wanted to develop my skills and use my new fascination to make a little money, opposed to placing wild bets that seldomly paid out. I purchased this book to attempt to beat the system with mathematical odds. While this book does touch on the mathetical odds of the game the strategy recommended by the author appears to be based on superstition, rather than mathematics. As such, I believe the Supersystem to be inherently flawed. I would not recommend employing this system in the Casino if you want to make money. Good luck and happy gambling.
A lot of redundancy.......2006-08-08
The 5-count contents is less than 1/8 of the book. The rest are redundancy of author's other books. I do not see the logic in the 5-count except to prolong playing time for casino handout.
Just so much hype.......2006-07-15
Having had 20 years of casino work, most of it in the dice pits, the best I could say about this book is that it was "amusing."
I saw it in the book store, then looked for it in our local library, wasn't about to buy it.
Some one who would actually play the way the book calls for is called a "grinder". Don't let Scoblete fool you, the house knows who wins and who loses, and who is trying to make it appearto be giving the house good action - appear to- just to get their rating padded - and thus get more comps.
"Hedge bets" as described in the book - betting both Come Bets and Don't Come bets, is what is economic suicide.
As for the "Crazy Crapper" bets, while wise guys hang on the tables telling people not to bet them, the people betting them (if they're hitting) color out and go to the cage while the "wise guys" go to the ATM.
Setting the dice and throwing "rhytmically" are casino urban legend at best. It ust doesn't work. Well, it might work to get the person doing it noticed as a suspected dice slider.

pretty good book - a small mixed up in the rule of baccarat.......2007-05-15
I wonder why on page 170, the baccarat rules states that, for example, when the banker's total is 6, then the banker will draw if the player's new total is 6 or 7. The correct version is: the banker will draw when the "player's third card" is 6 or 7, not the "new total". On page 171 though, the table lists it as "player's third card". Incidentally, I found a bug in the Hoyle's Casino 2007 for PC game, with it drawing a card for the banker when it shouldn't... oh well... isn't the rule somewhat important? It is a very basic set of rule... I wonder if we have that sometimes in the casino and nobody noticed.
Otherwise, the book provides basic rules, strategies, and some interesting stories about the various games. It is a pretty good book for beginners, but make sure you pick another one up just to cross reference. Idiot's Guide and the Unofficial Guide also have a good book on casino gambling.
One thing I am sensitive about the book is that it stresses on etiquette quite a lot. Thing like, "don't hand your money directly to the dealer; doing so is a breach of etiquette and brands you as a greenhorn. After you receive your chips, leave them on the table in front of you". Oh well, a "breach"? so serious? I don't know, I just feel that nowadays, we tend to have too much politeness and etiquette and too little true kindness among human beings, so I don't like to read about etiquette for this and etiquette for that.
Down to Earth Tips on casinos.......2007-04-02
I was mainly interested in slots, video poker, & blackjack. Presented good info in an uncomplicated style. Also full of info for practically any other game that may be your particular choice(s). I recommend it VERY highly for beginners or the more experienced player!!!!!
Kevin Blackwood is an Expert.......2007-03-07
Kevin Blackwood is an expert blackjack player who has played all over the world; he is an expert poker player as well. His knowledge of the casino games is profound and this book gives you everything you need to know to go to the casinos and play properly. Ignore the title because you are not a dummy if you buy this book.
You are smart!
Frank Scoblete: author of Golden Touch Dice Control Revolution!
Great For All Gamblers.......2006-07-25
Any new book on casino gambling has to contend with a shelf full (virtual or real) of other titles covering the same material, but in Casino Gambling for Dummies, Kevin Blackwood has done a masterful job of bringing a fresh attitude and informative approach that provides solid justification for another title on the topic. This is the 'For Dummies' brand at its best, tackling all the favorites, blackjack, craps, sports betting, as well as many meta-topics (like dealing with the IRS after a profitable run at the tables) with fact-infused, easy-to-read prose that will entertain and inform. People just entering the neon world for the first time will get as much instructional material as they can handle, from rules of the game to strategy. Seasoned gamblers will reap the benefits of Blackwood's expertise and experience at the felt-covered tables around the world. There is particular depth in the blackjack section, likely a product of Blackwood's long resume as one of the top players in the world. The organization is inspired and the writing is top notch, particularly the chapter on horse racing.
