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?
I don't think we need to read a whole lot of books to become a gambler. It's something that just comes in hand from your experience with the lifestyle. Unlike trading where you need to learn some strategies and even the market it's self. There's nothing much to know about gambling aside from the way to minimize your risk and play with money you can afford to loss. Don't buy into others idea that they will teach you how to gamble the right way, that's where most new gamblers ends up getting scammed playing to the tone of theses scammers. Just take your time to enjoy the games and sign time you will understand how to become better.

What kind of books are you looking for op, are you referring to gambling books? Because I don't seem to see any books that can motivate gamblers to play more in the future. Because I know most of the time the people I read are former addicted gamblers who have changed from being addicted to gambling.
But I haven't read any books that give tips for someone who likes to gamble, steps to succeed in the gambling industry. or the so-called gambling motivational books,
it seems like this is what op is saying. Is this what you mean op?

Somewhere above, I posted a link to several books that supposedly tell about all the intricacies of gambling, about the secrets that will supposedly help to make the right bet. I have not read these books, and I doubt that everything that the authors of such books offer works; otherwise, we would all be millionaires.
But those books that you are talking about when former addicted gamblers talk about their methods of recovery are also unlikely to be able to help someone who has fallen into the clutches of the game. Each case is individual, and reading such books can help one not to become an addicted gambler, provided that the person clearly understands what is being discussed and knows how to wisely manage his funds.
In any case, books about gambling that motivate you to play look to me like dozens of motivational books from millionaires who "made themselves." It is always beautifully written in theory, but in practice, each time tells a different story.

Even if there is a book that can actually help motivate a gambler or help them make good gambling decisions, I rather stick to advise I get here from gamblers with different experiences and approach to gamble. Anf indeed I have learnt alot that has helped me, maybe sticking to forum will help you better than looking for a book which may not have all the information you need. Beside in a book you don't have the opportunity to ask questions its only a one way communication which may not be the best way of learning. No motivation is as great as experience, sometimes sticking to experience is just what we need and not reading a random knowledge.

I like reading and I would have read books or articles on the sites that were publishes in this topic, but I doubt that it would help me a lot or even help. I can accept the fact I am not experienced in gambling and dont know on what pay attention or where to focus at. But, I expect all the books and articles are either stories about their experience or only reasoning. I can accept that I search in those books only «do that to win», but I understand that such things does not exist in gambling. I see those books and articles are like «dont be afraid to take a risk. risk and you will either win or lose». No magic strategy or help could be found there.
I've spent over 12 years in gambling and never have I been told that there's a a journal or any form of written material that helps in guiding gamblers. If there's anything os such nature, I'll definitely want to access one so I can pass it to gambling newbies. I think if I had read about gambling before now, I definitely wouldn't have become addicted to gambling in my first few months of gambling. So if there's anyone here who knows about any book that gamblers can read, please recommendThat is what I am saying. A book about gambling will be only a story or life experience, not something that will make gambler a little bit closer to a win. Such books can be either motivational literature to gamble or to take risk when having hesitation. Or a literature what not to do in gambling to avoid addiction or spending more than can afford. But I would call such books as books about personal growth, not about gambling.
I don't suggest to read about gambling but the rules of the games sports or casino or slots, which must be read with at most caution, once understood aim for smaller profits then gradually for higher.

Can you recommend a book from those you have read for plebs like us who are willing to learn more about those subjects? I would like to learn more about sports-betting. There are articles everywhere, and there are many topics in BitcoinTalk, but NONE could help me get started.

I don't know if there are any books, especially for sports betting. I don't think anyone should read books to learn more about sports betting. All they should have is knowledge about a specific sport and an idea of the teams. A gambler has to be updated with team news. They should know which players play for which team and whether they are unavailable.
Let's say someone wants to place a bet in the premier league, but they don't know which team is stronger than the others. Do you think strategic knowledge will help them? I don't think so. So, my suggestion is, do not bet for a team that you don't know well.

But what kind of theoretical knowledge are you addressing here when we are discussing sports betting? Yes there might be a few things that can slightly increase the odds of winning, but it is not like there is a holy bible that you can read and then be in profit as if there was a rule set that you only have to follow and all other things fall into place automatically. It remains a luck thing and it usually is a losing activity over a longer period of time no matter what theoretical knowledge you are accumulating.

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.
You are right, in fact it is very similar or analogous when we want to learn everything that is about btc mining, you have to have the machines and you have to be there doing things to understand the problems and their solutions, in the game things are easier to understand, only that Calmness and confidence are what are most needed, we also have to see something that is just as important, the Balance that we are willing to lose, if there are no limits in that sense I think we will be destined to lose a lot of money.

There's no point of reading a book to keep up the gambling habits, like I haven't heard of such and even if it sure exist I think it's just for personal reasons. Cause what I think should be read concerning gambling is a book trying to educate early adopt gamblers to stay far from gambling addictions and thus it'll have alot effect on the individuals.
There will be always the point, reading books always gains useful thing. Even it is a small part of gambling, but reading books may lead someone to avoid addiction or bad habit in gambling. At least, people who read the guide books may have the mindset to gamble in a proper way. They probably won't gamble excessively as the people who don't understand about the nature of gambling.Well, to educate gamblers is needed. There are too many gamblers who end up with severe losses. If they know the nature of gambling and understand the proper way in gambling, they may avoid such bad cases.

I can't recommend anything modern from the books on gambling, but I can definitely say that I was greatly influenced by the books on poker that I read when I was just trying to understand how to start winning and what to do for this. I still recommend this book, even though it is old: "Super System" - Doyle Brunson. It's a pity that this legendary poker player passed away, he was always the personification of poker for me. In general, I think that such a book will never become outdated for poker and the very essence of gambling, even though there are now many video tutorials on video platforms.
