Gambling is very risky, you have to take the risk of money in gambling, you have to have enough patience in gambling, also you can't get addicted to gambling but you have to gamble based on your own experience and skills. If a gambler has a good understanding of all these things he will hopefully not make any mistakes in gambling. I am not saying that knowing these few things will not make the gambler lose the game but I am trying to convey that if the gambler knows about these things then his money risk will be greatly reduced. There is a big difference between knowing something and doing it without knowing it. When you know about a subject you can do it with confidence but what you can't do no matter how easy the task is. And I will always say that gambling should be played with self-control so that later gamblers do not become addicted to gambling.
In fact, gambling will never bring anyone a sure profit, no matter how skilled a gambler is in gambling, there is always a risk here, and if luck is not with you, you will definitely lose.
But yes, gambling will give a gambler one thing very well, that is addiction, poverty, destitution, (if a gambler gambles uncontrollably). Once a gambler gets addicted to gambling, that gambler will slowly lose everything, and at one stage he will become excessively indebted, and to repay that debt he will sell his house and become completely destitute.
But nothing like this will happen to those who do not get gambling addicted, if they gamble only for entertainment and gamble with less money than they can afford to lose, then they can stay away from such losses.

What books would you recommend?

Gambling is a practice that gathers more knowledge about Gambling, betting, and Casino. To be a perfect gambler, to learn more about betting by researching more. I don't know if he will learn exact knowledge from gambling books. In fact, I don't know about gambling books which is perfect. Suppose you want to buy the best book to see the strategy for gambling. you can try but the best solution is to research betting and their withdrawal option.

Thanks to everyone who recommended real books. Yes, I know there is a lot of valuable information on YouTube, but I still think that different people may prefer different channels for receiving information. What is good about a book? Firstly, the information is given in text form. This information can be quickly skimmed, and if this information is not interesting to you, then you can simply skip it. This is partially possible on video hosting sites, but only if the author of the video has compiled time codes and a detailed description. But in any case, here it will take more time to understand whether you should watch it or not. A book is a structured text, ideally it assumes a fairly concise presentation. The best presentation, in my opinion, is a listing of successful principles of gambling, some non-obvious patterns. Videos quickly become outdated. Books are virtually eternal.

I have been gambling for the past 8-9 years but never read any books regarding gambling. I don’t know about others, but yes, I believe practical knowledge is more important than theoretical knowledge when it comes to gambling. But yes, I read about other people’s experiences with gambling losses and learn from their mistakes. When you are gambling, the most important thing you need to understand is the game rules and house edge of the particular game. Calculate the risk involved and gamble in the budget. As a newbie, if these things are maintained, then definitely he can make a profit.

Although I have read some books on sports betting, poker and other games, I do not know what specifically to advise a beginner. What books would you recommend?
With books and reading everything to the end of the page is it possible to win bets whether in sports or casino games?
Doesn't make sense because basically gambling is based on luck, some bets may be able to be shown with knowledge but in an analysis it also only provides predictions and still has chance of losing, everything is done just to increase the chances and if someone asks for advice to be able to really win from gambling then I will forbid him to bet because there is no way that can guarantee to win.
Better to give advice and direction so that he can gamble wisely with a full sense of responsibility and can control himself to limit time and spending money, this is much more important in my opinion.

Yeah right, gambling is more on learning by doing. While there are gambling influencers spread all over the social media, or those who have been publishing significant books for gambling newbies, but there's still a big difference if you learn gambling on your own. Though losses are more visible, but know that they teach us well more than books and videos that are freely available online.

I think learning about gambling from influencers or learning by yourself can't guarantee that a beginner will become a better and more responsible gambler, and it's also not something that can guarantee that you will always win and especially influencers who do broadcasts in my opinion it's not right to learn gambling by watching the videos they do because usually this will only lead a beginner to a misunderstanding of what and how gambling really is considering that influencers or streamers are usually one of the agents who work with the casino to get many people interested and then register and that's the reason why they often show very tempting broadcasts. The only one who can teach us how to gamble properly is ourselves, especially when from the start we are able to use our common sense and rational thinking correctly. Learning various skills to increase knowledge does help but often gamblers feel too confident and end up gambling with a large amount of money they have.

Recently, a friend of mine approached me with a question about what he should read about gambling. He read a lot of specialized forums and looked at information on websites, but he was not satisfied. He started betting on sports not so long ago, but began to lose a lot and realized that he had a significant lack of theoretical knowledge. He loves books and believes that only books present knowledge systematically, and not chaotically, as on many websites. But his question stumped me. Although I have read some books on sports betting, poker and other games, I do not know what specifically to advise a beginner. What books would you recommend?

Books? I don't know mate, I have a feeling that majority of us here didn't read any books as far as sports betting goes. We just follow our favorite team and maybe go to the sports bookies and just learn what those odds are like ML (Money Line), or handicap betting like the -/+.

It was all about the knowledge of the games itself and the teams that are playing. Maybe he didn't follow the sports that much that's why he is losing big money. I will just talk about experience and says that I have started to follow the sports that I bet since I was a little like basketball and boxing. And as time, teams and players, but the basic of the games still remains the same.

And then I just bet on sports bookies and try to learn those odd lines. I might have lose some money in the beginning, but that is the most important lessons that I have learn in the years that I gamble on sports.

Books!? I don't think anybody came across a book whose subject is to help gambling or to introduce gambling to new comers. Same for cocaine or cigarettes.

Gambling is not an activity based on sound science or from which useful theories can be derived. Except for books that address gambling from a medical scientific perspective, I do not think that anyone has ever thought of writing useful ideas about gambling in a book, and even general advice to avoid addiction is not in the form of books.

Now that I have read your topic, perhaps this is a unique idea for opportunists to make profits from a new trivial book similar to books like "How to Get Rich in a Week" or "The Secret to Success in Life", whose authors have made millions of dollars just because people are excited to buy a book with an attractive and exciting title.

There isn't really anything to read for gambling tips let alone for books because to date I haven't found any books that are specialized for gambling in the end so maybe this won't help if the choice is a book when trying to gamble.

Because after all gambling does not need to do research with scientific analysis when we just want to play slots but maybe if the goal is sports betting maybe there are some things to have before gambling such as knowing what fighter or club we want to bet on or some analysis about statistics, h2h even performance before we start betting.

Instead of looking for books when the focus is on sports betting I think it would be better to try to follow our interest in betting like for example soccer because in the end when we start betting on soccer we don't become someone who is blind to something and doesn't make the wrong choice just because of probability and instinct but already has basic knowledge about which club we should bet on by looking and researching about several things such as statistics, h2h or their current performance which will help more than looking for books about gambling that don't necessarily exist.

Learning the basics first is very important. You can start by reading articles and watching YouTube videos - they’re enough to get you equipped with the fundamentals to start betting. Once you’ve got the basics down, you can explore some betting forums to learn from experienced sports bettors. This will help you grow and mature in your betting approach.

Some of the forums I follow and really like are:

covers.com
oddsshark
actionnetwork

and https://www.teamrankings.com/ for more sports data.
Youtube videos may also be a big help for beginners, just to gain views and insights about how the nature of gambling works. But there are some gamblers who can't learn fast enough without going on the real gambling experience. That's why I would prefer to suggest personal experience over reading books or watching youtube videos, but of course start with small betting amount just to come up with first-hand gambling experience.

Gambling is all about chances. To win in sports betting, there is lots of work to be done. Data collection regarding the sports event, venue, players in the particular match, and more data need to be analyzed, and the odds need to be picked. When we think of reading a book, we're reading someone's understanding about gambling. The author could've shared his experience and the strategies used by him. Here we need to be careful, because a strategy that worked well for him doesn't work well for us. This is the reality, so we need to analyze and have different strategies to be successful. Rather than reading, it is good to spend little by little and understand through experience. Maybe there'll be loss in the beginning, but surely we can win later.

I don't think gambling can be best taught from reading, no matter how many resources you have, but it's more on the different gambling experiences that will give you the best learning after all.

Gambling isn't about being bookish or focus on traditional learning, but experience will always be the best teacher. If you want to be a responsible gambler, that does not happen in an instant, it takes time and effort for you to realize how to gamble responsibly, despite of the losses that are sometimes unbearable when gambling.

Is he gambling with the aim of getting a lot of money? If so, then the aim is wrong, I understand that ending the session with a win is much more fun, but we must not forget that gambling is still gambling, skills and knowledge do help but do not guarantee victory, there will always be times when he loses and even the loss can be very big.

So in my opinion, having the knowledge and skills to analyze each match is still possible to learn and have, but one thing I might say to you, please tell him that skills and knowledge are not something that can guarantee victory, they are nothing more than tools.

If books could help
Then school would have been the main key to success.
I don't think any body can make it especially in gambling drowning in theoretical knowledge.
Personal research and experience how the best teacher to me.
Well everything depends on the game you playing, poker requires some theoretical knowledge but more on practical.
Sports you just have to have an understanding of who you betting on or against.

In the case of gambling, if you see any books or articles that tell you how to make a profit in sports betting or win at casino slot games, then I can definitely say that those articles and books are written just to scam people. As if the exaggerated titles are so that people will be attracted to buy their books or read the articles and make a profit.

In my opinion, no book in the world can provide a way for you to make only profits by gambling. Gambling profits and losses both depend on luck. One thing that can be done here is that there are various articles and books that spread awareness about gambling, how to reduce the amount of losses while gambling, which can strengthen a person's financial situation, and how to stay free from gambling addiction, and also those articles can teach people money management. And I think these are the kinds of articles that your friend should read.
It should be erased from within that gambling will only give us profit . We have to keep our mind set in such a way that gambling will make us face losses most of the time and we have to set our gambling amount in that proportion.

Nothing, meaning there is nothing that can be used as an intermediary to guarantee victory, I understand that increasing knowledge and skills is still possible to do by reading books maybe, but what is certain is that it is not a way to guarantee that you will always win at the end of the match you bet on.

Because the fact is that there will always be something that we can never predict before, I have experienced this several times where I have analyzed the two teams that will compete very well and decided to choose one of them to bet on but in the end it turned out that I lost because the team that was superior in terms of statistics and performance made an unexpected mistake that caused one of their players to be sent off with a red card and the match became unbalanced until finally losing, this is the reason why luck is also still an important aspect, because only with luck will you be able to win regardless of how good and how much knowledge you have.

Can you learn everything just by reading books? Sometimes you can learn a lot through outside knowledge. And for gambling, I don't think it would be good to learn by reading books and gaining knowledge. You need your own strategy and experience to gamble. To create an experience in gambling, you must have good experience in sports. If you know the players, venues, and teams well, you can win gambling. In this case, I don't think it is very good to learn by reading books and gain experience.

I will give an example: a person is studying books to ride a bicycle, he studied books for about three months and went to ride a bicycle, he could not ride a bicycle properly after studying the books. Another person at the same time went directly to the field with a bicycle and he learned to ride a bicycle very quickly in seven days. Here there is a big difference between riding a bicycle by reading a book and riding a bicycle practically without reading a book because it is better to ride a bicycle directly than wasting time by reading a book because the rules are later you can learn by yourself.

Use your own strategy to play gambling. Gain experience about the sport. Learn about the players, venues, teams, hopefully you will be very good at gambling.

Theoretical knowledge may be obtained from books or from other sources, not just from a book that is now rarely used as a primary source.,
It is easier today to gain broader knowledge with the internet, or even easier to use AI as an assistant for the necessary theoretical knowledge.

Books are not always systematic knowledge because now they have been replaced by AI,
so it is only necessary to give advice on how to get started with AI and ask any questions to find out about gambling in more detail.

But you also need to remind that Gambling is not only about how one learns gambling theoretically, real practice will be needed,
and it will provide other problems such as the psychology of gambling that will be the determinant of victory or defeat, and also the luck factor.

Gambling has no manual or guide, if there's any book that's out there about how to gamble I would always say that they are just selling it to make money from you...it feels weird to day that someone needs to read a book to know how to be a better gambler. You learn simply by exposure and experience.. few years ago I started by copying bets from my friends then overtime I started to understand and get the hang of everything.. there isn't much to it, you don't need a book to know how to navigate your way through it..All you have to do is listen to others and learn from them.
I saw some old books for casinos; it is just a guide there's no special thing inside to any books but a guide on how to bet and how to manage the risk, mostly based on their experience. I saw one of the old gambling books that was published in 1997, and it still exists on Amazon.
Nowadays, since internet exists, we don't need any books any more to read it because we can start watching a few videos on YouTube that gamble or go to some forum and read some gambling guides that we can follow. But for me, we don't need them since we only gamble for fun unless you want to learn a new strategy, but all of them already exist just by searching them through Google or asking the AI about them.
