“I wish I would have done this in the beginning of our vacation. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely doing it again just to visit our tour guide Stuart.”

“My wife and I are not gamblers. At least we weren’t before we took the Best Bet Gambling lessons tour. Our guide Stuart has been gambling for 50 years and shared his many secrets that he has learned over that time. They helped a lot. Afterward, playing on our own I won $135 and my wife won $160.”
