American Roulette: How I Turned the Odds Upside Down

Today you can hardly turn on television without seeing a behind-the-scenes show on exposing gambling cheats. Here you can learn it from a real pro. Marcus was a career cheater for 20 years. His most creative invention, dubbed the Savannah (named after a stripper), involves hiding a large-denomination chip under a five-dollar chip on a roulette layout and then removing (or raking) the big chip just when you know your number didn't win. Sounds easy enough, but what about the ever-present "eye in the sky" or even the dealer? No problem, says Marcus; you just act dumb and pretend you didn't know the ball had fallen. And believe it or not, he prospered in the world's greatest casinos by employing this simple system. Although getting into the cheaters' heads is extremely entertaining, it is certainly a guilty pleasure, for it's hard to cheer for a common thief, even if he is an underdog. A fun read, but don't try these tricks on your next trip to Las Vegas.

How to Cheat Your Friends at Poker

Penn Jillette—entertainer and magician extraordinaire--knows poker. Not necessarily because of his own skill, though he has that in spades. Jillette knows poker because he knows "Dickie Richards", a lifetime card player who has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars over more than thirty years of cheating at home poker games. Dickie's wisdom, filtered through Penn's showman's style, is distilled into this tidy volume.

This is not a book about how to play poker. It's about how to cheat, make money, and win big. You'll master the art of making friends just so you can gull them at cards, you'll excel at marking cards and tossing the pot, and you'll understand why the dealer should always win. Lousy with attitude, stylish with swagger, HOW TO CHEAT YOUR FRIENDS AT POKER delivers a true card-sharp's tricks and tips, down to the last gambit.

HOW TO CHEAT YOUR FRIENDS AT POKER is the ultimate player's handbook.
