Editorial Review: Product Description: How To Gamble At The Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like A Chicken, by James Harrison Ford, gives easily understandable, expert advice on Casino Gambling in a light-hearted manner. It advises readers on which games give them the best possibilities and how to play them correctly. It covers all major casino games: Blackjack, most Video Poker varieties, Craps, Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, Slot Machines, Keno, Big Six Wheel, Roulette, Sports Book, Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Let It Ride, War and several miscellaneous promotional games. It also contains explanations of Gambling Systems, the House Percentage, Probability and Possibility, Gambler's Ruin, and Money Management. Not only does this book give clear, concise advice on the best games to play and how to play them, it unequivocally points out which games should be avoided so you don't get plucked like a chicken. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Gamble Wisely During A Recession!Dr. Ford, who according to the book is a mathematician, has painstakingly done the near infinite computations necessary to truly predict the odds of each popular casino game. This is invaluable. Other books may tell you what hands to hold, this books literally puts its money where its mouth is, showing tables of probabilities to reference. The tongue-in-cheek style is quite refreshing, and Dr. Ford never once "guaranteed" me that I would win using his system, for which I am infinitely grateful. If these magic systems worked, why aren't the authors rich, lounging in Vegas on pool chairs having grapes fed to them by nubile young people? I can't recommend this book enough to anyone looking for a real way to get the edge over the house percentage, without kooky gimmicks. Dr Ford tells you which games have the best odds, which hands have the best chance of winning, and what "action" to stay away from. Rating: - Classic Guide to Winning"How to Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken" is an excellent guide to becoming a winner. It explains how to play all the major casino games like a pro. For some games (Sucker Games) it flat out tells you that the right way to play the game is to keep your money in your pocket. It explains that only some versions of Blackjack and a few video poker games actually can be beaten over the long haul without counting the freebies that the casinos give you for playing. If you count the value of the freebies, a few more games, like Baccarat, Craps, Pai Gow Poker and some slot machines have generous enough odds that you can actually come out ahead playing them. The book is very specific about exactly which games you should play and how to play them, as well as which games are strictly for losers and can't be beaten regularly. Before you take your money to the casino, you should read this book so that you don't get plucked like a chicken and don't look like an idiot. It doesn't guarantee that you WILL win, but it shows you how to get the best odds so that you CAN win. Rating: - Entertaining and Fun with Good InformationMany gambling books are dull reads, even if they give the best possible analyses of the games and how to play them intelligently, so it is great to read a book that is enjoyable and, at the same time, informative. This book gets high grades in those areas. Definitely worth reading. Frank Scoblete: author of Golden Touch Dice Control Revolution! Rating:  - A view point worthy to readI liked the way the author wrote. It was an easy read. The video poker section maybe outdated by now because casinos change machines so often. Rating: - You Really Should Read This BookIf you are only going to read one book on gambling, this is the one you should read. It covers just about every casino game of any consequence and gives you the essential information about each game with a minimum of blather. This book doesn't promise to make you rich, but it sure can keep you from looking like an idiot. The best part is that it is a pleasant read. It makes the details easy enough to understand so that you can become a competent gambler without having to have a PhD in mathematics. Even if you don't go to casinos to gamble, this book explains the factors that make it possible to win more often than you lose - for all kinds of games. That's why you really should read this book.
