Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My Hubby purchased this book for me after I put it on my amazon wishlist because I saw ths guy on television. It's like fool's gold. You purchase something at a high price hoping for a "big win." The American dream, especially in this economy. But, in this economy, the Charlatans' come out to play. It's a shame. I see this on t.v, newspapers, etc. all the time, where people get taken advantage of. "Pay XX ammount of money, and we'll release these funds." I was always amazed at how people fall for these scams... until now. We spent $40.00 for 40 pages. And the pages have alot of white space in them. Remember school? The teacher would tell you they want 2 pages of a report and you or some other kid (cause certainly you or I never did that! HA HA) would use really big letters or extra fluff words to make it seem like it was more then it really was. Funny how the teacher always caught on! :) I honestly figured that 40 pages was 40 pages. The book looked big on the outside. Which to me, is another part of being taken advantage of. I guess it's a good example of "Don't judge a book by it's cover." As to the actual content. It's basic stuff you allready know. Use the same numbers, buy alot of tickets all the time... etc. I'm sure there are alot of people, worse for wear, that followed this method all the way to Gambler's Anonymous. I'm sure they made some money. Enough for their dues, anyway. Lesson Learned for me. Thankfully I can return this book per Amazon's return policy. It'a interesting to me that this guy, (the author) and his family, won alot of money. With all that money, why did he feel it so neccessary to take advantage of others by making even more money in this way? He could have charged an appropriate ammount for the book. Not made it bigger like he was in elementary school. I get it, that he's proud of winnng a few times. But seriously, he won enough to make sure he was on tv or had his name out there in the "limelight" without being a charlatan. Shameful.
