About this listen
Learn the low-roller secrets for:
- Staying free at hotel-casinos
- Beating casino promotions
- Eating and drinking on the house
- Playing video poker for profit
- Getting bumped from airplanes and flying free
Though Jean Scott was well-known to a select few Las Vegas aficionados throughout the '90s, it wasn't until the publication of The Frugal Gambler in 1998 that she became a household name to casino players across the country. Since then, it's likely that no gambling personality has been featured more often in the media than this "Gambling Grandma." Her frequent national publicity, her long-term success in casinos around the world, and the solid low-rolling advantage-play techniques she's divulged along the way have all helped catapult The Frugal Gambler into the ranks of best-selling gambling books.
And now The Frugal Gambler is completely revised and updated. New information includes a completely revamped chapter on video poker, updated coverage of getting the most out of slot clubs, recent examples of exploitable gambling promotions, and a brand new resources section, identifying the best sources of player information available - from books to software to the Internet.

Anybody can get lucky. Nobody controls the odds like Billy Walters. Widely regarded as “the Michael Jordan of sports betting,” Walters is a living legend in Las Vegas and among sports bettors worldwide. With an unmatched winning streak of thirty-six consecutive years, Walters has become fabulously wealthy by placing hundreds of millions of dollars a year in gross wagers, including one Super Bowl bet of $3.5 million alone. Competitors desperate to crack his betting techniques have tried hacking his phones, cloning his beepers, rifling through his trash, and bribing his employees.

Story
It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks. When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops.

Story
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Wonderful help in navigating casinos
Jean has terrific insights both for frugal people like her and for people like me who treat it as a game. I have a better understanding of how the comp system works and how to play it after reading the book than I did before. I also have a new respect for casino fun-books and the possibilities for turning negative expectation games into positive expectation ones by using a small value coupon.
Thanks, Jean

Excellent Comp Information for Low Rollers
Anyone who plays table games, slots or video poker for any amount of time, will more than pay for this audiobook in comps if you don't take advantage of the system already. As some readers will tell you, some of the information seems more like "work". However there are many easy things that can save you Hundreds of dollars. I know it has saved me more than I ever knew possible. Nice job Jean.

No accompanying PDF!
Hard to give this 5 stars. Feels like I paid for a book and the most important pages were missing.
The book says “see page 21 and 22” or “see list of resources in the back of this book, refer to charts 3, and things like that but doesn’t provide the accompanying pdf. Really annoying.
Also referenced som audiobooks.com/frugal and that website didn’t show anything
