I Discovered a Great Game

I had never been interested in baccarat before but I am a Frank Scoblete fan so I bought this book. It was worth it. First of all, like all Scoblete's books that I have read, it is first rate. It is fun to read and just analyzes the game thoroughly. Scoblete shows why the traditional game of baccarat is much better than the mini version. He also explains how to really reduce what the house wins by maximizing comps and by using an ingenious strategy for reducing the commission on the Bank bet from 5 percent to 4 percent. I hve tried this strategy in five casinos and had success in two of them. Scoblete also analyzes over 40,000 decisions at baccarat and explains why these are very lose to the probability of what happens in the math. I wish I had better powers of writing because I know I am not doing this book justice. It turned me on to baccarat and I am loving every minute of it!
Excellent Book for Baccarat

Baccarat Battle Book is the best book I ever read on baccarat. I found out that I have been playing the mini version of the game instead of playing the big version which I can afford to play. This book shows you exactly how to reduce the house edge on the amount of money you bet. I recommend it.
Great New Book by Scoblete
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Scoblete does a very interesting experiment in this book. He copmpares 40,000 hands of baccarat betting bank or player on each and shows how the casino edge manifests iself in this run. He explains how to reduce the edge by betting select amounts on bank hands that the casino will pay off at a 4 percent commission instead of 5. Very ingenious. As with all Scoblete's books, it is excellently written and shows why he is the top gambling writer in the world. I learned many important things from this book and one was to stay away from mini-baccarat! I highly recommend this to casino players.

Frank Scoblete has written another great book on a casino game. This time it's baccarat and he shows you very clearly why baccarat is a great game and why mini-baccarat can be one of the most dangerous games. His level-headed approach to casino games and his awesome writing talents have made Scoblete the top writer in the field of gaming. BBB is a great book and will prepare you to play a very tight game against the casino. I loved it!
