♠ I · The Bundle

The Casino Bible: What the Dealer Knows

Three games. Three ebooks. One honest seat at the table.

The Casino Bible bundle: Twenty-One Ways to Lose, Read the Table and The Short Stack

Here's what nobody on YouTube will tell you: I can't make you never lose again. Nobody can. The wheel doesn't care about your system.

But from behind the table, I watch the same handful of mistakes turn a fun night into a long drive home. Doubling after every loss. Taking insurance. Splitting tens. Sitting down at a 6:5 table because it was the only open seat. Those mistakes are optional. So I wrote them all down.

One fixes your blackjack. One teaches you to sit at a poker table without being the easiest read in the room. One makes your roulette money last. Together they're everything I'd tell a friend before they walked onto the floor.

Play the math, not the myth. — Nick

♥ II · The Difference

Table myth vs. what the dealer knows

Every row on the left is something I've watched cost somebody real money.

What players believeWhat the dealer knows
Double your roulette bet after every loss and you'll win it back.Martingale runs into the table limit or your bankroll first. Flat bets and a stop-loss keep you playing.
Take insurance when the dealer shows an ace, just to be safe.Insurance is a side bet with its own house edge. Basic strategy says skip it.
Split those tens. Two twenties beats one.A 20 is already one of the best hands on the table. Stand.
This shoe is hot. That number is due.Cards and spins don't remember. Every round starts fresh.
A 6:5 blackjack table is close enough.6:5 payouts add well over a full percent to the house edge. Find a 3:2 game or walk.
Poker is about big bluffs.Poker is position, pot odds and knowing who you're up against. The bluff comes last.
I'll stop when I'm up.Decide your loss limit and session time before you sit down, and stick to it.

From the people at the table

★★★★★

"I was a Martingale guy for two years. The Short Stack showed me exactly why I kept busting out. I play flat bets with a stop-loss now and my $200 lasts the whole weekend."

Darren K.Weekend roulette player
★★★★★

"I'd been taking insurance every single time. Twenty-One Ways to Lose had three of my 'moves' in the first fifty pages. A bit embarrassing, but worth it."

Lisa M.Blackjack, Atlantic City trips
★★★★★

"I'd never played live poker. I read Read the Table the week before a charity tournament and actually understood what was happening. I made the final table."

♠ V · About

The guy in the vest

I'm Nick. On Table Games with Nick I stand on the dealer's side of the felt and tell you what that side sees: the bets that quietly drain a bankroll, the "systems" that look brilliant until the table limit shows up, and the small habits that let some players walk away happy.

I'm not here to sell you a dream. Every game in the building has a house edge, and I'll tell you exactly how big it is. What I can do is help you stop handing the casino extra money with avoidable mistakes, and get more nights out of the money you came to play with.

The videos are the highlights. These three ebooks have everything else.

♣ VII · Questions

Before you sit down

Will this help me beat the casino?

No book can promise that, and you should run from any that does. Every table game has a house edge. These books help you stop adding to it with avoidable mistakes, make smarter decisions and make your bankroll last longer. If someone promises you a sure thing, they're the one winning.

Are these real dealer secrets?

Nick is the on-camera host of Table Games with Nick, and the books are written from the dealer's side of the table. Most of it isn't "secret" at all. House-edge figures, basic strategy and pot odds are public math, and you can check every number yourself. The value is having it all in one place, explained the way it plays out at a real table.

Your videos are free. Why buy?

A video gets ten minutes on one idea. These ebooks run to 1,582 pages: 101 blackjack mistakes, a full poker course from hand rankings to your first live session, and 101 roulette approaches with the bankroll rules to go with them. You can keep them on your phone and check them before you play.

Why only $37?

Each ebook is $17 on its own, so all three would be $51. The bundle gets you all three for $37. That's less than two hands at a $25 blackjack table.

Do I get all the ebooks or just one?

All three: Twenty-One Ways to Lose, Read the Table and The Short Stack, delivered together in one download.

What format are they in?

PDF, delivered instantly through Gumroad after checkout. They open on any phone, tablet, Kindle app or computer, and they're yours to keep.

I've never played. Is this too advanced?

No. Read the Table starts at hand rankings, The Short Stack starts with how the wheel works, and Twenty-One Ways to Lose explains each mistake from scratch. Beginners are who these books help most.
