Livingston shows you how to recognize and deal with cheats, and offers the most complete, detailed, and up-to-date description of the techniques of cheating at gambling to be found in one volume. Whether your game is auction schafkopf or hard-nosed stud poker, your dream to roll a quick six in a game of craps or beat the roulette wheel, if you are uninformed you are susceptible to hustlers and con artists, who have hundreds of ways to turn *your* money into *their* money.
