Scarne's New Complete Guide To Gambling Book
John Scarne

This massive book is an indispensable reference guide for gamblers. John Scarne was recognized during his lifetime as the world's foremost expert on gambling. This is more than just a book about all the facets of gambling. Scarne spices up the book with gambling advice, inside tips and many stories about the personalities he knew in his fabulously successful life as a gambling expert, advocate and writer.

Since its publication in 1961 and subsequent new editions, Scarne's New Complete Guide to Gambling has been far and away the best-selling book of its kind. Every aspect of gambling and games of chance and skill are covered here: official rules, correct odds and house percentages, advice and instruction on playing strategy, explanations of swindling methods and how to detect them. And every game and sporting event involving betting of any kind is reviewed, explained and analyzed.

This is the 2005 Simon & Schuster edition of the revised 1961 classic. 900+ pages, 6 1/2"x9 1/2" hardcover with full-color dust jacket. This is an overstock edition and is in good but not perfect condition. Currently out of print -- very few copies available.
