Book Reviews of The Greatest Gambling Stories Ever Told: Thirty-One Unforgettable Tales of Risk and Reward (Greatest)
Book Review: Not very interesting
Summary: 2 Stars
This book contains excerpts from many books that I've already read. If you are looking for a good "gambling" book, avoid this one as all the stories are ones that you probably already know if you are an avid gambling reader.
Plus, many do not focus on casino gambling, but instead focus on weird bets. For example, the book contains an excerpt from Huckleberry Finn - the famous frog race. If I wanted to read about the frog race, I would have read it back in high school.
