I liked this book a lot, and it helped me win a few thousand dollars.(I'll probably lose it all back though). This is the best book I've read on baccarat. Some of it is a bit technical, but this is better than all the other books on baccarat which don't really say anything except bet on streaks and don't bet too much. I never thought of betting on ties before but May explains that while its usually a sucker bet, sometimes it can be very good value, like say when you have a lot of tens or a lot of even cards left.
