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.
Topic: What to read about gambling? - page 6. (Read 1238 times)
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?
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.
I don’t think there is anything to read about gambling as, none of those would guarantee a win either. What’s there is history and as much as some of them do stands, it’s always subject to be broken at some point. Gambling doesn’t give much respect to what is written in books and texts.
Instead of wasting all that time looking for what to read and not read, when it comes to sports betting, a better understand of the game, the team, the coach, the tactics, there placement on the table and the fixtures ahead would be a better place to start for some analysis and what to expect in the results to make a bet.
It can only be very difficult to those who are not sports bettors, because like I know sports betting is the easiest gambling to gamble because you do not need to over work yourself instead is just to follow history and past records couple with the last 5 previous matches then the person is half way to go. With full dedication to live matches will also makes him be informed about the players, coach and the rest.Instead of wasting all that time looking for what to read and not read, when it comes to sports betting, a better understand of the game, the team, the coach, the tactics, there placement on the table and the fixtures ahead would be a better place to start for some analysis and what to expect in the results to make a bet.
I think with sports betting someone doesn't need a book to read and study over the time as I believe books doesn't work in terms of gambling since gambling is not a sequential events rather it's a random events that picks whom to win anytime.

buddy, they don't use to teach gambling, and theirs no book you can read that teach gambling, gambling is what we develope the interest and acquire the knowledge without attending lectures Do you know that any business or investment that has to do with risk theirs no one that teaches it to other people because of the risk that is involve on it, I could remember when was tender and I have passion to bet on soccer game, and I told my apartment mate to teach me how to book matches, he laughed at me with people who were there, I did not ask him at that moment, after some weeks I asked him the reason why he responded to me that day
He responded that gambling is all about risk and nobody will teach me how to bet, that I should go ahead and learn how to bet on my own, so I'm convinced that gamblers learn through their mistakes not by learning from someone, so op, what you're asking of the solution, people who is a real gamblers will not give you what you need.

Books about sports betting? I think the knowledge which one can learn from the book can be easily seen on the internet, much impact and direct than reading a book. Besides, books cannot analyze teams because the information on it might be outdated, it can help the process of how to analyze teams but the dated information on each team is on the internet.
In order to increase the chance of winning and learn more about sports betting, the tips, and more people insights about any upcoming matches, I believe it would be best to look for a forum dedicated to sports betting and with the discussion of the sports he prefer to bet on. I believe this way is the effective in learning stuff about sports betting/gambling than looking for books to read.
If you are going to be a sportsbettor you should probably find a book or read some online articles and familiarize yourself with some of the terms of a specific market you plan on betting on. You need to know what kind of bet you are making and how to win.
Being an American let's use NFL football as an example. If you go to a site and see Chargers ML would you know that ML is moneyline? What does moneyline mean? That is a term that refers to a team just having to win. What about Chargers -3, which means betting the spread. Betting the spread means your team has to win by more then the points you are giving or you have points to add to your teams score that can make you a winner. If you see a team -3 that means you have to win by 4 or more, if you see a team +3 that means your team can lose by 2 or less and you still win.
It can all be kinda confusing to a new bettor, but once they start learning the terminology, they'll be a pro in no time. Tell your friend, google is their friend.

Theoretical knowledge when it comes to sports betting, what does that even mean? There are an absolutely tiny amount of sports gamblers who make any money and even if they do, the bookmakers limit their accounts after a while because they don't want people who can beat the odds playing with them. If you are into sports betting then just do it for fun, because there are vast analytical systems and teams of people who are working from the opposite side to price the bets profitably for a bookmaker. You won't find any useful books out there related to sports betting, because the bookmakers will always reposition themselves to counter any perceived weaknesses. If you want to seek out profitable gambling and you have the intelligence, patience and bluffing skills then go for poker books.
We don't need a book to understand about sport betting or even poker, it may take 5 minutes to read the basic of how it works and that's it. We know there is no way we can increase our chances of winning in gambling so don't advise him that which is kind of giving false hope rather just make him to realize this is the reality, not everyone can win in gambling and the glorious winning stories we read online are just marketing gimmick to attract more customers.
Why do you have to read a book, when the basics of gambling are very easy, right? I think he just played for a few sessions and understood.So there is no need to explore mathematics in gambling that is useless ... only some people believe in the lift but most of them believe in luck.
In sports betting, if he understands the sport, there is no need for guidance, just choose the odds option offered by the bookie and it's done.
Yeah that's what gambling is like, look at some casinos in X handing out big wins that's part of their marketing tricks.

Reading books about sport betting, poker or any other related gambling games do not usually guarantee success to be frankly speaking, as there is always a huge gap between the theoretical aspect of gambling and the practical experience you may have, which always comes with consistency in gambling. Because I think the first thing your friend needs to do is identify what type of game does he/she intend to gamble on (i.e football, basketball, MMA Boxing or e.t.c) and then go about watching or either reading about their previous performance, while trying to identify stronger clubs and weaker clubs, so as to know which club to place your bet on these types of games that involves both skill and luck. Unlike the regular slot games that are usually only luck base games.So I suggest watching sport highlights on YouTube are better ways of getting good insight for match predictions
Any book that is about probability, math, statistics and psychology would do. Don’t read anything that is directly about gambling as it will be crap most likely. Gambling is about mathematics and psychology to some degree but mostly about math/probability.
If you don’t understand math, you don’t understand gambling. It is plain and simple.
Don’t waste your time with “x for dummies” type of shit too. As the name implies, those books are for dummies. Are you a dummy? No you ain’t. Then don’t read them.

I never thought before that some of the games in gambling deliberately made the book, but this thread questioned the book as a clue to knowledge and many reviews that gave recommendations for books to be learned by novice gamblers before gambling, I personally like to read but not I thought of this because I prefer to read journals or articles written online.
And most of the games I learn it directly with practice also with discussions with people who understand more without knowing that I have to read books to find out such theoretical things through reading books.

Just like your friend is so serious about gambling that he needs a guide book to learn all the gambling games, this means that he is pursuing profits in gambling games, unlike in trading.
I don't have any book recommendations for beginners let him learn by himself to understand the game and always say never look for profits because in the end you will lose, play like fun.
There is no need for books, maybe some articles have been published on how to guide this, if he really he can learn there without books, because rarely anyone sells books about gambling.

We have different approaches to gambling. For your friend books are what works for him. Reading is one of the easiest ways to get factual information on different subjects areas and gambling is not any different. One of the gambling YouTubers are follow has written books on gambling but I'll rather watch YouTube videos than read a book. I don't mean your friend's mode of learning is wrong. I just see YouTube videos as having a more recent and updated knowledge on this fast changing industry. This is the advantage that it has over books. YouTube is practical books are theoretical and in this industry it is only the practical that will make a winner. 
There are all kinds of books out there, but if you’re a bettor focused on winning, you won’t pay much attention to stories, you’ll focus into the technical aspects of the material. I’m not sure what specific books are available, but I’ve seen videos on YouTube where self-proclaimed experts offer tips and mentoring programs. Those might be helpful, especially for beginners trying to learn the ropes.
He will only be thinking he can make money while gambling but which is very wrong. He needs to learn about how to manage his money and not spend much on gambling. People that are advising him to read books about gambling do not know what they are telling him. I hope he is not on the way to gambling addiction. One thing to know about gambling is to use very little amount that you can afford to lose to gamble, and then be having fun while gambling. It does not require any book.For a gambler who has materials that gives hints on how to go about their prediction analysis or strategy their approach to gambling always differ to gamblers who only makes predictions based on instinct or experience. One can learn a thing or two from a comprehensive book on gambling.
