Two weeks later his team was banned from every casino in France - the reason being, not that they had cheated or behaved badly, but simply that they won - methodically and consistently.   This book is a detailed and wry account of the events that led to an event that all expert opinion holds to be impossible - beating the bank at roulette.   Reminiscent of Ben Mezrich's Bringing Down the House, Thirteen Against the Bank reveals how Leigh assembled his crew of thirteen, instilling in them the discipline, stamina and bankroll required to bring off his coup and then apply it using a system known as the reverse Labouchere betting progression which placed wagers on all six outside, even-money bets at the same time; odd, even, red, black, high and low.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49510799278353,"sku":"GOR001196459","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49940653539601,"sku":"GOR001892412","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50031961604369,"sku":"CIN1843440326G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1843440326.jpg?v=1751428798"},{"product_id":"thirteen-against-the-bank-book-norman-leigh-9780140044454","title":"Thirteen Against the Bank","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577227813137,"sku":"GOR001937119","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49639393919249,"sku":"GOR005009331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52739385983249,"sku":"GOR001039533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0140044450.jpg?v=1751132484"},{"product_id":"thirteen-against-the-bank-book-norman-leigh-9780297770831","title":"Thirteen Against the Bank","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49578037182737,"sku":"GOR002862241","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49666604138769,"sku":"GOR001121817","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50555381645585,"sku":"GOR001913981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0297770837.jpg?v=1751291405"},{"product_id":"thirteen-against-the-bank-book-norman-leigh-9780948353994","title":"Thirteen Against The Bank","description":"The story of the man who broke the bank at the roulette table in Nice in 1966. A dry and funny account of how he organised a team of twelve players ( thirteen including himself ) to work a reverse Labouchere betting progression while placing wagers on all six outside, even-money bets at the same time; odd, even, red, black, high and low. Along the way he offers insights into the effects of gambling on personalities and describes the winning roulette system that he used in detail, along with the discipline, stamina and bankroll required to apply it. A classic.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49595569045777,"sku":"GOR006937372","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50259409928465,"sku":"GOR001410999","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50531324494097,"sku":"GOR001811478","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0948353996.jpg?v=1751331880"},{"product_id":"thirteen-against-the-bank-book-norman-leigh-9780688030049","title":"Thirteen against the bank","description":"\u003cp\u003eImmunogold silver staining is one of the most sensitive techniques available for visualizing the location of antibodies and nucleotide probes that have been bounded to specific antigens or to nucleotide sequences. As gold and silver staining continues to advance research in molecular morphology, this book presents the information you need to know about the various staining methods, their useful applications, and the advantages and drawbacks of each process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGold and Silver Staining: Techniques in Molecular Morphology provides a timely description of approaches, methods, protocols, and applications. The contributors cover the latest developments and a wide range of applications from highly sensitive detection of antigens to single copy detection of DNA and RNA. Some of the authors are living legends in the field and bring their expertise and experience to this fine collaboration. Written in one consistent style, each chapter includes a concise, but comprehensive introduction, step-by-step protocols with technical hints, and a discussion of results and critical steps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat differentiates this book from all others like it, is the status of the editors, who have worked on this technique from its inception and have produced innumerable publications on the topic. The other distinguishing feature is that all of the contributors are amongst the absolute foremost leaders from the United States and Europe. Gold and Silver Staining: Techniques in Molecular Morphology presents a complete overview and detailed descriptions of this technique that allows the visualization of molecules that have never been localized before and with hitherto unknown sensitivity. Not only does this book provide an excellent review of this field, but it also serves as a lab manual for those who want to carry out this technique in their laboratory and clinical work. Armed with this information, advances in this powerful field of research will ensue.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49940505461009,"sku":"CIN0688030041A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50953258369297,"sku":"CIN0688030041G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0688030041.jpg?v=1750944002"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-norman-leigh.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
