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 think I just read something like this when you are a gambler, you are looking for books about gambling that can give tips so that players can win often at the casino?
Is that what you mean, op? Because gamblers often just play at casinos.

Although the majority really rely on luck while they play gambling at any casino as far as I know. Then all I know is that those I watch on youtube who used to be addicted
to gambling then eventually recovered.

In my opinion, it is always better to start learning from the very beginning. In order to deeply understand the topic, you must first acquire basic knowledge.

All gambling is primarily based on probability theory. Therefore, in my opinion, it is advisable to first study a basic textbook (manual) on the mathematical theory of probability. This will allow you to better understand the very essence of gambling.

Also, in my opinion, a lot of interesting information can be obtained from the book by the modern writer and philosopher Nassim Taleb "Fooled by Randomness".

This book shows the difference between random and non-random events, teaches you to analyze your thoughts and actions and avoid cognitive distortions.

Why buy a book? The internet is a super highway of information;

You can read or listen a lot of information and get no knowledge from it, and if you look for influencers who talk about gambling or sports betting I don't think that you will learn much. Or are these influencers already rich thanks to their knowledge?

I can't give a good advice on what to read to improve the chances of winning in sports, but as per the science behind probability, reading Taleb and/or Kahneman can help, if not to win more, to play more wisely.

Why buy a book? The internet is a super highway of information; YouTube alone has tons of basic tutorials and it covers a lot of subjects and topics, and the beauty of it is that it's video-based; its easier to learn than reading a book. I don't think your friend can read for hours, but he can watch videos for hours, and he can learn a lot because the application is fully explained in video format.

Reading about how casinos operate broadens our understanding of gambling and instigates in the reader a better means to play games. Although the gaming knowledge written in the book Frugal gambler by Jean Scott is based on brick and mortar casinos. Its secret of being frugal in gambling can also be applied in the online settings, including sports, and yield similar results. Not of comps, unless your friend also wants to give it a shot.

if there is any book one can read that will enable him become a better gambler or that has the potential of giving one a better winning chances, such books would have finished from the market, or some big gamblers would have bought it all before you even know about it but the truth is that such books don't exist other than some that might focus on topics that is related to best gaming practice or likely talk about gambling addiction and ways of becoming a better gambler. the theoretical knowledge that helps one to gamble effectively is just the knowledge of the game and being actively familiar with the current things that concerns the game and that way, you can easily make better gambling decision and it might in a way affect the rate at which you win in your games,.

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.

Books are just the story of the game itself like the history the rules and just how to play, but if you want to get involve with the sports betting knowledge with the team, their strategy and how they will execute in the match, you can easily identify those by taking the statistics and data of their previous matches so you can get an idea if the team have a near match have the potential to bet. If you love to read of course the same with the internet its just like a large scale of book and knowledge in the web. Bet to the team you know has the higher chance to win base on your knowledge.

What i must recommend with beginners is they should learn financial literacy books at first so that they'll value money before spending on things for quick profit sources as well as investing with gambling that has no assurance for good profit. However, that gambling literature could be acquire through learning from experience and those books on sports betting as well as other games was just a reference and inspiration for us. Not all aspiring gamblers will also be as lucky like those whales who can bet all over again without losing their money despite of losing millions of dollars.

In my opinion, what your friend did should be able to create opportunities to win if he not only reads but also puts into his brain important readings that must be applied properly and correctly so that they can create opportunities to win.

Because many people only read but cannot understand and appreciate the readings properly and find it difficult to apply them properly in real life which makes what is read unsuccessful, gambling is purely a matter of luck and knowledge and accurate information is important to be able to create opportunities to win. But it all comes back to the person and also the mental and emotional conditions when betting because it also affects the results, your friend must correct himself properly because what your friend did was not something that most gamblers did not do but they can still be lucky because they can learn from experience and improve themselves when betting.

I really don't know of any books that would give you a good gambling training. Gambling is a fun place but many people want to use it as an easy way to earn money, but a large part of them suffer in a big way. A person who looks for gambling training books is undoubtedly very serious about gambling. If he is a good friend of yours then I would suggest you to make him understand the risk of gambling well and advise him to stay away from gambling as his seriousness is too much which will make him regret a lot at the same time.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

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.

I have tried reading and watching a lot of videos and documents, websites, prediction and news related sites for sport betting and never managed to be successful. This means that no matter what you read or watch regarding gambling it won't help you over the long run as no matter how much your knowledge is, no one can predict the future and gambling is trying to predict the future in your favor, if we were able to do that our life would be amazing and wonderful yet for most of us it is not. So one can read a lot of information in order to increase our knowledge a bit but overall in the long run as I said it is not at all going to help us because no matter what decision we take and what game we choose to bet on we simply cannot predict the future and in fact there is a great saying for football games which sums it all up, "the ball is round and you don't know where will it go" suggesting that even super strong teams can lose their game.

It looks like your friend is gambling for money, I doubt reading books would help because books are mostly old, so it only contain old information.

I would recommend to take online course like Udemy or learn from professional gamblers, however make sure to not spend too much. There are many so called claimed to be professional gamblers out there and they only want your money, while they don't have deep knowledge about the games.

If he is already losing, he is learning the hard way, which, to be honest, is typically the fastest method people become humble by gambling. But if he wants structure, books are the right call. Forums are noise; books are the long game

My first suggestion is Edward Thorp's A Man for All Markets. Thorp is THE guy. After breaking black jack, the man turned around and used the same reasoning on Wall Street. Half gambling, half financial, and 100% “learn how to think” energy. It teaches not only how systems operate but also how to spot patterns, when to back off. Anyone gambling without understanding probability is just feeding the machine.

Should he be more inclined toward the "mindset" side of things, How to Win the Lottery with the Law of Attraction is less technical but more psychological. It's about keeping discipline, not allowing emotions rule the show, and matching ideas and behavior. It sounds like fluff until you realize more than half of gambling is managing your own impulses

Knowing he needs information helps him to already be on the correct path. Tell him to layer up: game-specific techniques, probability, and perspective. Read wide, lose less.

Rather than reading, if you wanted to learn about poker you would have to register in an online poker school. Poker books as a secondary thing. And that they are not very old, because recommending TAG to start at low levels does not work so well nowadays.

In my opinion, the best thing is to combine the knowledge acquired in books with the knowledge that can be acquired by watching videos, but the knowledge that you will acquire with books and videos will not make you the greatest bettor in the world, because you will not know each league and each team well, to be able to know, for example, whether in a given game you should bet on the winner or whether you should go to the Asian market or the goals market, there is also the corners market, the cards market. So without knowing the teams and their players well, it will be difficult for you to get most of the games right.

Knowledge is a temporary thing when we are go into gambling. Many things comes to place before things can start getting better while gambling. If you monitor your gambling processes you will observe that knowledge, experience, tolerance, optimism, following instincts are things that determine the outcome of our gambling. Then the most important thing is luck. Watching tutorials, buying books, and visiting special forums are necessary for controlling our gambling addictions. None of these things can help us win in gambling only control our habits and what we do.

For me I think you don't need to read so much book to get the real understanding of gambling. Firstly one should be able to understand that gambling is unpredicted and it is game of lose or win that is why it is important for one not to have so much expectation of winning outcome in gambling. It is mandatory for one to know in gambling it is more profitable when you gamble with the money you can afford to lose and also to know when to stop playing when one is losing. If one should make research of getting the real knowledge in gambling this are things that are there which is very easy to find.
