As I have written in my reviews of other books, I love to read about gambling and its long, sordid history. But I have frequently met with sub-par accounts. Not so, here. The stories have a first-person, eye-witness feel to them that makes for excellent reading. Even if some of the details are things the author couldn't possibly know first-hand, it doesn't matter, as long as the story is accurate. Overall, I would recommend this book. It is well-written and researched and is a very absorbing read.
The World's Greates Gambling Scams
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I'd give this book 5 stars, except for some typos in the book. Marcus spins the stories of gambling scams down through the years,making them interesting. I'm sure there are some embellisments to some of the dialog in the stories, but the scams themselves actually happened.
