Richard Munchkin and I were sent review copies of this book in order for us to determine if we wanted the author on our Gambling with an Edge podcast.

CUT!
One thing I’ve learned over my gambling career is that Hollywood producers couldn’t care less about making the mechanics of gambling scenarios in movies and TV shows accurate.
