Its About Gambling Volume One. And it's about time you got this
information. Do you know why some people love to gamble and others
don't gamble at all? Where would you put yourself on the
risk-taking scale? Have you ever heard about the Casinos in D.C.
frequented by members of Congress? Did you get to read about the
President who shot a man over a dispute on a horse race wager? What
about the President's wife who had regular card games in the White
House for money with the local ladies? Any idea why river boat
gambling was so dangerous to health and finances? Did you know New
Orleans was the first great gambling city in the U.S.? And why was
the Wild West so wild? Would it surprise you to know the first
professional Black Jack player was a woman? How did gambling become
such a huge business and the government its partner? Look around
and you can see that the Native Americans are taking their country
back one bet at a time. How did all this happen? This series of
books is an attempt to "smarten you up about gambling." Your local
schools won't help you but give these books a chance. You might hit
the jackpot.
