poker, blackjack, craps and much more, all nice and tight and well presented in

THE WIZARD’S TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Wizard sets an interesting tone in Chapter One with his detailed explanation
of his Ten Commandments for Gamblers. Reading his rationale with the following guidelines
for gamblers is worth the price of the book.

  • I Thou shalt honor thy gambling debts
  • II Thou shalt expect to lose
  • III Thou shalt trust the odds, not hunches
  • IV Thou shalt not overbet thy bankroll
  • V Thou shalt not believe in betting systems
  • VI Thou shalt not hedge thy bets
  • VII Thou shalt covet good rules
  • VIII Thou shalt not make side bets
  • IX Thou shalt have good gambling etiquette
  • X Thou shalt tip
