    Introduction

    Gambling is something that fascinates many people, even those who participate. There are some who do it for the potential thrill of winning money, some who do it because they love to be right, some who love the challenge and also those who just cant help themselves. The ones who don't like to gamble will always tell you that The House Always Wins and they might be right most of the time, however you are about to read some of the most Totally, Crazy Gambling Stories of all time and the best part about it is that they are all true!

    You are about to read ten of the most audacious scams ever attempted along with some which went horribly wrong too. I must add a disclaimer to this part of the book and state that I am, in no way, advocating or condoning some of the behaviour you are about to read about but I do hope you will find it interesting all the same.
