 A Good Fair Advantage!!! May 9, 2008

All I ever wanted was a good fair advantage!!!
It teaches the skills neccesary to use the bonus structures of online casinos to your advantagel.
Important Note: This takes discipline that is clearly beyond the reach of a compulsive gambler.
You MUST pick your casinos carefully. You,ABSOLUTELY must size your bets according to the formulas provided or else you are guaranteed to lose all your money before your average advantage can assert itself!!!
By patiently placing many small bets, over a four-month period. I systematically turned $400 startup money into $2500 before the US government shutdown access to most of the better online casinos. I would have done as well in two months if I had not been in the US. Over time I would have had more money to work with and been able to safely place larger bets and it would have snow-balled.
Again, I wasn't lucky, I was PATIENT AND CAREFUL!!!
Please read the first review and listen to it! June 26, 2006

Please do not buy or read this book! I don't want competition. Arnold Snyder is a genious and in my opinion is the foremost gambling expert in the world, and no, I'm not one of "The Entity Known As Avery Cardoza's" shills either. This book is kind of like a sharpa who leads you to a mysterious temple and says "here it is". It doesn't really tell you what "it" is other than to say it could be worth a couple large. It's worth a lot more, and if you don't know why that's certainly not my problem, nor is it Mr. Snyder's for that matter.
 Previous review is flawed March 17, 2006

In reading the first review posted here, most is misguided, misleading, or just wrong.
However, this statement is completely false:
"The trouble is that online gambling is illegal in most of the United States. "
Online gambling is illegal in the few specific states that have prohibited it (Nevada, New Jersey, and a few others). This definitely does not make up the majority of the US.
I would think that Amazon would have a policy against posting false statements in a review.

Arnold Snyder has some interesting ideas as a gambling writer, but this new offering is a little disappointing.
The author explains how to make money from casino and poker bonuses. Basically, his method involves signing up with an internet casino, taking any bonus they have, then cashing out.
The trouble is that online gambling is illegal in most of the United States. If you could make hundreds of thousands of dollars doing this then it might be worthwhile, but as Snyder seems to admit, getting the money is really hard. Getting money out of an e-casino, judging by the problems Snyder's mentions, is not easy, they are very reluctant to pay up, many simply will take your money knowing you can't take them to court. Some will cheat: it is very easy to write a computer program which fixes the odds against you.
Even with honest e-casinos, you often have to wager eighty times the bonus or more before they will let you keep it!! You would end up losing your money most of the time!! Imagine trying to get a $100 bonus, having to wager $8000, and losing $600 or $700. It does happen!
If you check out the author's website, you see why he is promoting e-casinos-his site gets lots of money from links to internet casinos and he gets a percentage of the losses of people who go through those links. I think that is why he is recommending this type of "advantage play" rather than something respectable like card-counting.
Nevertheless, he does cover some of the common problems you face online in some detail. And, the section on poker is a good basic primer, if you like playing poker.
