Well written in a chronological diary style, this book describes the tedious life of the professional video poker player. Yeah, Dancer gradually works his bankroll into six figures and stays at the MGM Mansion, but his "job" is to play 15000 hands of VP per week and calculate the payback of a casino's latest coupon deal to the hundredth of a percent. If you want to be a pro gambler, read this book! Dancer pretends to be a wonderful, ethical guy, but he spends his days (nights) looking for VP machines programmed incorrectly to pay a high cashback rate. He's like the guy who checks pay-phone coin returns.
