John Grochowski
"The book you're holding is a very important book. It's important the way a good review book is important for any professional - a doctor, lawyer, civil servant, teacher, police officer, firefighter, actuary - preparing o take the exam that demonstrates he or she knows the material and is competent to go out into the world and make money with it. What author John Grochowski (pronounced GROW-HOUSE-KEY) has done is compile a mountain of information on three of the most popular games in the casinos today - blackjack, video poker, and roulette - to test the gambler's knowledge of the games he or she plays. If you have successfully mastered the information in this book, you are probably ready to take on the casinos with a much better than average chance of making some money at it. If you have not mastered your gambling material, this book will show you what things you have to do to increase the likelihood of coming home with a win. It will also point you in the direction of further study, as any good review does.
"Still, a good review book not only questions you on the knowledge that you should have, it not only tells you when you're right or wrong, but it explains why a given answer is correct. John Grochowski has not merely written a good review book. He has written a great review book. Why? Because the explanations he gives for the correct answers are not only uniformly understandable, they are often enjoyable to read. Taking a dry subject such as gambling stats and strategies and making it into an enjoyable reading experience that is accessible to those of us who are not mathematicians is a great skill. Grochowski possesses that skill in spades...and hearts, and diamonds, and clubs as well! You will find his insights and stories to be right on the money; his advice, razor sharp. You will find his writing style straightforward and pleasing. And as you devour the information in the upcoming chapters, you will say to yourself (as I said to myself): 'Wow! This is one hell of a book!'"
