This is the front of a desk that covers casinos, table games, slots, betting, bankroll, the rules and the mindset side of all of it — the newest work sits at the top, and the sections underneath hold the rest.

Where a claim could not be traced back to a named source it was left out instead of rounded off, and where the honest answer is that it depends, the page that follows says what it depends on.

Reading a price the same number in four notations

One price, four ways of writing it

Decimal, fractional and American notation describe the same price; the last column is what that price implies about the chance, before the book's margin is taken out. Compare the implied chance with your own estimate, not with another book's.
