However, you shouldn't go in reading these things with the expectation that you are actually going to make money off card counting/advantage play in general.

That should be. Books are just for guides but the actual gameplay will still be based on our own moves and actions.

Not really.

I think that books can teach you how to act, and you can carry it out, but at the end of the day it can still be an unprofitable venture given the fact that card counting generally takes years of practice to perfect and takes a lot of time to go to all these physical casinos.

Plus, you'd be paying thousands in books/courses if you were serious about it.

Blackjack is not purely skill-based. Half of the game is actually based on luck. So it may be helpful that you are guided by certain blackjack techniques, strategies, and other wise ways to play the game but then it still falls on whether you are lucky enough to get the best cards.

Experience is probably another big factor. If you are constantly playing blackjack, you must know the when of the game like when to split, double, etc.

We should forget about card counting.

My father loved to gamble, and was a big Blackjack player. He was an incredibly smart guy, and always did his homework before ever doing anything at all. That was no different when it came to gambling. I remember seeing him read several Blackjack books, which was his favorite game to play. Do you guys own any good gambling books or know of any website where you can learn skills to play certain games like Blackjack, Poker etc?

I remember that there are was a website about poker tutorials in my country,which was active a few years ago.I don't remember the domain name,but there were multiple poker tutorials and links to the best casinos.
The bast way to learn poker or blackjack is to practice.Reading some books and watching tutorials might help a little bit,but becoming a skilled player can be done only thru playing a lot against other good players and even making mistakes.Learning from your mistakes is the best way to learn.

Well of course you have to practice, but you also need to learn how to play. Just playing blackjack isn't good enough to become good at it unless you're playing all the time and against people who could teach you.

I partially disagree on the part that just playing Blackjack is not enough. Even you played it casually, eventually you will be good. It's not necessary to spend more time in practice and you should be playing against people who could teach you. Hardcore practices are for those players who aimed to be on Top. That's hard to do. For players also that want to turn their gambling habit into a source of income.

But I like your Dad. He is really a genius like you said. He is really well-prepared for a serious match before going into a game. The dedication to win is always there and that's a good mindset that everyone should have.

There are nice and good response here and can't believe you guys are really reading website and books about gambling. I don't feel it will help me or maybe I'm just lazy doing such things lol.

But following this thread for any references.

I'm surprised to know that there's something as gambling book, I was wondering what are those book for. Strategy? Facts or history about the gambling? I think the only interested with that are serious gamblers. As for me I am not really interested with books I just keep enjoying playing gambling site and always losing.

Just as the normal book, it's for additional knowledge. Like the books that we have for different subjects and topics, of course, there are those for gambling too. They can be about experiences, tips, and secrets that the author has done or has written from other people that have their credit on that book. And like those that you've mentioned, it could contain various facts and as well as things from the past that shall surprise you being on those books. But the thing is that OP is certainly looking for those specific gambling books for helping him improve with those games.

Gambling is full of strategies you can use and modify to suit your own gambling lifestyle. Gambling book contains procedures, ways and strategies written by different successful gamblers to view and understand how gambling works.

Highly recommend Beat the Dealer by Edward O. Thorp.

However, you shouldn't go in reading these things with the expectation that you are actually going to make money off card counting/advantage play in general.

There is more and more scrutiny around APs and they are getting backed off quite a bit, especially when the profit margins of physical casinos are dwindling. Do it for fun, not for a living.

Definitely you could find lots of resources across internet for learning skills on playing blackjack effectively. Because, it is a skill-based game and when you're learning tactics about it then you could definitely become a master of it. I remember in the Hollywood movie, hang out part-1, one guy must be playing blackjack more accurately and winning lots of money from casino after learning tactics from books.

Honestly I love to learn skills for better blackjack because when it comes about our skills to make profits then I guess we can easily make money given that we are developing skills to do so. But, unfortunately I could not find time to learn like that.

I have never read a book specifically about gambling with strategiest. but if only theory from the internet there are many articles about it. such as blog sharing about strategy in gambling. manage bankrolls. or martingale . etc. seems like the best way to become more experienced is to directly to play many board or set. and watch a lot of those games.

Everything is on Google and you can research it there, there are too many articles sharing their strategies and techniques on how to play Blackjack.
A Youtube video was also there, upon checking I saw there is a guide and I want you to research this if you are really interested. Somehow, experience and more experience will lead us into a better gambler, I suggest playing it offline to test your luck. There are certain skills that you will learn if you will keep practice playing on them. However, based on luck games when you are in an online casino is most likely you will experience it.

Google generates a lot of informations including the fake sites so for me its good tha OP ask here first before trying because he might fall into phishing site and its too bad for him. Anyway, reading books is also a good source of knowledge but not everyone is willing to spend time reading it that’s why its too hard to find one because the supply is limited, if you know how that game works say better, try to guide him.

There is nothing wrong for you to try to read some books with a small nature. Because reading literacy is important for those of us who often discuss let alone talk about gambling. At least it can give you some new knowledge that is not obtained from gambling practice. After all, the book was made by those who have experience in gambling so that you can find assumptions, theoretical linkages and knowledge of how to read situations there. But don't expect more from just reading a book or two. Think of it only as a guide to add scientific insight.

Point taken. I do appreciate and comprehend what you have stated here, maybe it’s just not really mt thing and we have different preferences on doing things, in this case gambling. I may try reading the books, but as you have stated I am not expecting much from it, especially because the information can be also something that needs updating from time to time because of the ever changing situations.

Maybe the theory in the 2020 book can't necessarily be proven true with the experience of gambling directly at the 2021 casino. That's why I prefer to read books about gambling as a form of scientific insight, or appreciate the writings of others. Just as the theory is always inconsistent with jumping in the field which has a more real possibility of creating when you gamble at a particular casino. Sometimes great gamblers are born not because of insight from what they read, but more dominantly from direct experience that he experienced. Is not it?

Only a few books catch my interest but not in gambling. Mostly, I learn those card games by doing it in actual, against a real opponent. There's no trick behind learning but just playing regularly. I even do gamble at Chinese poker every single day because it's really addictive. The same goes for my preferred gambling which is sports betting.

For now, I only refer to some websites about my gamer side where every information is necessary. Gambling-related questions on the other hand can be referred by asking someone or reading a source on some various sources on the world wide web today.

Depends really on the gambler. I don't read any books as it is more confusing to me. I'd rather practice with stock knowledge and my experience will tell me automatically how to play. All the card games I know were a product of my own observation and not referring to any books. I just ask some questions on the way until I finally learn the game.

Poker games at any type is a game that's not simple to understand but possible to learn just by basic knowledge and watching how players play it.

Your dad must be so passionate about blackjack and the book he used would definitely be kept by him as a memorial to how he was able to manipulate blackjack during his days. You didn't bother sharing the book title. This should be the first time I'm learning about gambling books or guide be it offline or e-book

I'm playing only poker for now. The good one is PokerTON. It consists of telegram bot where you creating your account and main site to play poker. The main problem is that you need to buy specific crypto (TON crystal) to gamble on this site. And yeah, withdrawal time is up to 72 hours Shocked

It's probably just number theories or statistics that can really help you when you're gambling, that's the only book that I think is useful although I don't know any book that has that but pretty sure number theory and statistics are useful tool for gamblers. Websites though, probably a Master Class from Negreaneu might help you

I would not reject the idea that such statistics are useful for gamblers since these can provide knowledge which ca make a gambler make informed moves and decisions. Although, I also have a perspective on the other side.

I did not expect this also- I mean, what would be the content of it? I think it is relatively useless to provide tips since everything's a gamble on gambling?

I really agree that such content can possibly have deficiencies on its accuracy since in gambling, most things are unpredictable and thus gamble.
