This book is like having a long conversation with an expert in gambling. The tone is light and engaging, the topics range from addiction to people who try to beat the house through technology or systems, from a history of Monte Carlo to characters like John Aspinall and Victor Lownes. There are literary references, religious and scientific perspectives on gambling, too.
I have hardly ever gambled in my life, but I found this book fascinating. I recommend it to any student of human nature.
