Baccarat For the Clueless By John May - A Paperback Baccarat Book
There aren’t many books out there on baccarat to be honest and so I thought this a good place to start for a review. I’m not really sure why baccarat seems to have come off badly in the publishing industry - it’s a popular enough game and it’s a traditional favourite. Perhaps it’s because there’s so much online – and for free? Maybe it’s because our Casino.com strategy guides are so good that no one need look anywhere else? Anyways…
This Baccarat for the Clueless book is pretty decent – which surprised me. Call me cynical but most of the books I find out there just repeat the same info and change the name of the game. And so, I expected this one to be a bit banal.
I guess most books on casino games are going to be pretty limited due to the amount of chance involved (you can take that shocked look off your face!), but this one covers the latest baccarat systems and throws some facts into the mix – spiced up by the writer’s obvious appreciation for the game.
May seems like an honest enough guy – he makes it clear that you can’t win every time but does offer some nifty suggestions on how to reduce the house edge and improve.
