Product Description
Product Description
In the summer of 1966, Norman Leigh took a team to the Casino Municipale in Nice with the express intention of systematically winning large sums of money at roulette. Two weeks later, his team was banned from every casino in France—not because they had cheated or behaved badly, but simply because they had won—methodically and consistently. Thirteen Against the Bank is a wry and detailed account of a true event that all expert opinion deemed impossible: beating the bank at roulette. It reveals how Leigh assembled and bankrolled his crew of thirteen, instilling in them the discipline and stamina to bring off this coup and then apply it using a system known as the Reverse Labouchere betting progression. An all-time casino gambling classic.

This review is from: Thirteen Against the Bank (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a classic account of how 13 people including Norman Leigh beat the bank at Monte Carlo using a roulette system called Reverse Labouchere. It's a true story, and it tells how Norman Leigh recruited 12 other people in London, England, trained them how to play Reverse Labouchere, then went to Paris to beat the roulette bank there, and from there to Monte Carlo, where they beat the bank several times.

I don't care how old it is...GREAT BOOK!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Thirteen Against The Bank (Paperback)
I read the book in less than two days....truly was hard to put down....if you are just picking up a book to browse through and try and pick up a system, then you don't want the book...the system is explained throughout...no charts or graphs or any other BS....I found it to be a great read and have used a part of the system(mostly red/black and high/low) 5 times in the casinos(hardly enough to prove anything)but have walked away with $100+ each time...Now I don't have the capital to get a "Mushroom" as they call it, but if you can consistently walk away from the casino with $100-$200 for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of play...isn't that worth it.....Not quite as profitable as the European wheel, but it can still turn a profit with patience....BUY IT, READ IT AND ENJOY IT!

This review is from: Thirteen Against The Bank (Paperback)
The fascinating account of how Norman Leigh took a team to break the bank at Nice using his roulette system. Dryly funny, it offers an insight into how gambling affects and alters personalties. It also illustrates a winning roulette system for those with the exceptional discipline, stamina and bankroll required to play it.
