Product Description
Product Description
Gambling is more popular than ever, with multi-million dollar poker tournaments on television, gambling themed movies like Rounders gaining in popularity, and casinos opening in just about every state of the U. S. How to Cheat at Everything is a roller-coaster ride through bar bets, street hustles, carnivals, Internet fraud, big and small cons, card and dice games and more. You'll even find the exact frauds that the NYPD regard as the most common and dangerous today, and learn top tips on how to avoid each one. This inside information comes from Lovell's lifetime of experience in the field, along with additional information from both sides of the law. Not just a "here's how the con works" book; this guides you through the set up, the talk, the sell, everything about the con, and how you can be suckered into one. If you think that you can't be conned; then you are already halfway to being so! There is no preaching here, just a fun ripping ride through a world so few know about. You'll meet wild, eccentric and larcenous characters and you'll learn how they work their money-making deeds, all without having to risk a penny of your own money.

The Real Hustle storylines most likely emerged from books like this one and 100-year old Houdini writings.
Half of the book is dedicated to card playing, still quite a bit chunk describes what makes suckers 'tick'

This book has an insane number of scams... whether it's proposition bets, cards, dice etc... bought a couple of these type books from amazon and this is the one that i would wholeheartedly reccomend.

As an admirer of Simon Lovell's work I was eagerly anticipating this book. I was NOT disappointed!!!! He covers all the scams you could think of and many you wouldn't. It is an enlightening tour that is well worth the read....for all those magician's etc who missed the Billion Dollar Bunko book by Simon....this is the same book but in paperback with a new title.....snap it up whilst you can....it is a joy!
