Product Description

Book Description
"How To Gamble At The Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like A Chicken", by James Harrison Ford, gives easily understandable, expert advice on Casino Gambling in a light-hearted manner. It advises readers on which games give them the best possibilities and how to play them correctly.

It covers all major casino games: Blackjack, most Video Poker varieties, Craps, Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, Slot Machines, Keno, Big Six Wheel, Roulette, Sports Book, Caribbean Stud Poker, Three Card Poker, Let It Ride, War and several miscellaneous promotional games. It also contains explanations of Gambling Systems, the House Percentage, Probability and Possibility, Gambler's Ruin, and Money Management.

Not only does this book give clear, concise advice on the best games to play and how to play them, it unequivocally points out which games should be avoided so you don’t get plucked like a chicken.

About the Author
Dr. Ford retired from a career in commercializing emerging technologies and moved to Las Vegas, in his words: "to be close to my money." With a Ph.D. in Thermodynamics and degrees in Engineering and Materials Science, he taught Computer Programming for Engineers and worked in research and development throughout the United States. During his professional career, he developed an avid interest in the mathematics of gambling. Applying his considerable skills to the subject of casino gambling made him a respected player in short order.

When his health deteriorated dramatically, he was admitted to the UCLA Medical Center, where he underwent a double lung transplant. While he was recuperating, he wrote How to Gamble at the Casinos Without Getting Plucked Like a Chicken. Although he continues to have a strong interest in casino gambling, out of respect for his new lease on life, he now tries to limit his exposure to crowds and smoky environments.
