Plenty of gambling books explain how to play the games; that's Gambling 101. Gambling 102 takes you to the next stage, playing in the best way with the least amount of effort. Quick chapters (some as brief as two or three pages) cut right to the heart of each of nearly two dozen games, providing you with, first, an assessment of the odds you face, and second, the basic strategies you need to lower them as much as possible.

When should I raise in Three Card Poker? How will reduced juice affect my sports-betting results? And, of course, how do I pick the best blackjack game and video poker machine? Best of all, this revised and updated third edition contains three brand new chapters on what the Wizard calls "vulturing" slot machines that can be beaten when playing conditions present a player advantage.

Gambling 102 is the product of years of mathematical analysis, computer modeling, and actual casino play. If you believe in luck or hunches, you probably need another book. But if you believe that mathematics guides you to the best ways to approach games of chance, then Gambling 102 is the book for you.
