Gambling Books

If you are looking for information about gambling from the Christian point of view, I would highly recommend this book. Even if you aren't Christian, it is very throrough about all aspects of gambling. I have a loved one struggling with this issue, and it helped me grasp the many issues involved with gambling. It was also highly educational regarding the motives of the gambling casinos.

There are so many books out there for poker players looking for high stakes games - but what about the 95% of players who stick to low stakes games? "How to Beat Low-Limit Poker: A Beginner's Guide to Winning Big Bucks at Little Games" is the guide for the little guy who isn't out to make themselves filthy rich, but wouldn't mind leaving with their wallet a little heavier. With ten tips and strategies designed specifically for low limit games, "How to Beat Low-Limit Poker: A Beginner's Guide to Winning Big Bucks at Little Games" is a deftly written instructional for any low stakes player who wants an edge in their games.

This is a wonderful book. Garcia took the time to explain many of the scams that are used from friendly household games to those that have fooled the casinos. Even though the book is old, it still covers many of the same things that are covered in more modern books. He has many pictures and tells you what to look for to protect yourself. If you gamble at all and think you may be the victim of a "mechanic" read this book.

make it short its worth your money to buy this book

i really enjoyed reading this fascinating account of how to pick my own lottery numbers. an incredibly ambitious undertaking, hieronimus tackles the big question; how interconnected is physical reality?

This is a book by a winner of a gin tournament in Las Vegas in 1958. Mr. Wander takes you step by step to how he would play a game to 200 using Oklahoma rules and his random card hands. He definitely plays the hands a little different than most people on certain types of hands. I would suggest this and Jacoby Gin Rummy All American Roundup as must reads for every gin player. This is the same book as the hardback by Wander titled Expert Guide to Winning at Gin which was published in 1965. This is the paperback reprint from 1974.

As a novice poker player, I was looking to find a book that explained the general concepts of poker and also specifics on the popular variations without getting drowned in tables upon tables of odds and blah blah blah. The book covers Draw, Stud, Hold 'Em and Omaha poker, along with a small section that covers other card gambling games like baccarat and blackjack. The section on blackjack even has basic strategy tables for memorization.

The book opens with some poker history and then goes into general rules of the game, ranking of hands, time limits, seating, dealing, betting limits, wild cards, etc. Then the book goes into the specifics of Draw Poker.

The section on Draw poker in my opinion is great. I really liked how the book clearly explained how draw poker is played. The sections on the arithmetic of poker were very helpful with some odds tables and a brief section on expectations (comparing pot odds with card odds). Plus there were several strategies for before and after the draw. Very helpful and clearly explained.

The same goes for the section on Stud Poker, with both 5-card and 7-card being covered. The sections on Hold 'Em and Omaha are short but sweet with strategies outlined for before and after the flop without burying you in useless charts of odds. The strategies also consider position and your hole-cards. There are also several pages on bluffing techniques and poker etiquette.

For someone starting out in poker I would highly recommend this book. I use it a lot more than the other poker books I bought to expand my knowledge of the game.

A good overall introduction to the game of craps. Perhaps not quite as good as Silberstang's, but close, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to own both of them.

The book I bought from you was a steal as far as I'm concerned. I had no real problem understanding it.Sometimes I'd get a little lost with details, but would just read it over. I truly enjoyed it and feel the money was well spent.
