"American Roulette" Book Review (Non-Fiction)

American Roulette, by Richard Marcus, is a well-written book that gives the reader a thrill and an inside look on the past twenty-five years of Richard Marcus's life. He spent the majority of this time learning the best ways to beat the casinos at their own game and  then taught the skill to others. He started as a professional gambler with over $100,000 in casino winnings (that were won honestly) and he lost it all in one night leaving him at the bottom rung of Las Vegas. From this point Marcus rose to the top (again) never being arrested or charged for any of his scams or crimes that he committed in Vegas and throughout the worlds casinos. The style of writing used by Marcus makes you feel like your right next to him in the casino holding your breath, waiting to find out if this next cheat that you are witnessing will be his last.
 I would recommend this to a peer it was exciting, interesting, and was a good read.
