If gambling winning involves reading books before having most gambling wins, I am sure the illiterate beings we see in gambling houses, wouldn't draw close to gambling bets because they can't read about how to have gambling wins. Gambling without knowing how to read for the wins will make one lose interest in it easily.

However, reading books hasn't been what any gambler has been found doing. Each of us gambles with what our intuition tells us after analyzing the team's statistics via their current performance.

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?

Does your friend like the sport he plays? Maybe he likes tennis or basketball or even football.
If he doesn't have that pleasure and doesn't follow and have an understanding of the match he bets on, that's a really bad way.
In theory, how to make a bet is something very simple and can be done by a beginner. But it seems like your friend makes it too serious. naturally, when your friend likes the sport he chooses to bet on, he shouldn't need a book guide or anything.

I’d read books if I were dead serious about sports betting, but I’m not, and honestly, I find it a waste of time. Most of those authors aren’t real winners in sports betting anyway. Think about it, if you were a successful sports bettor would you write a book sharing your strategy with everyone? It doesn’t make sense to me, I mean why give away the secret sauce if it’s working for you?

I bet that almost all of us here don't read books when we first gamble, what we do is simply find a casino that offers the best games and start gambling there, and over time we start to learn from our experiences and find out things about gambling ourselves. the only good thing to read when gambling is a psychology book, because most gamblers are very weak in this matter and easily get emotional when they lose or can't control when they win a lot, books about psychology should be able to help them train their psychology and make them mature in this matter.

I think it will be better for your friend to be watching the matches of the sport he loves to bet on so that he can use that as an advantage for his next bet, because he would some lessons from every matche he watches. Personally, I believe in praticals than theory when it comes to gambling. However, since your friend need to book to help me out, he should try this out ""The logic of sport betting" written by Ed Miller and Matthew Davidow.

I have never relied on books; even my friends never relied on books when it comes to gambling. If you're looking for books or tutorials and guaranteed winning based on their formula or methods, they just want to make money on gullible gamblers like you. Part of the knowledge I learn from gambling is from my peers' tips, which they keep secret and only share with close friends, and besides, you will eventually learn to set up your own system or methods through experience. For you to learn how to swim, you have to be ready to get wet.

Sometimes theres no trick on gambling and some actually just win out of luck. But thats literally a fairy tail, for sure some users have some technique over this and likey to pursue some knowledge or ways on how to beat such games. In poker, slots or any kind of game but Im curious too with this thread or comments that would likely give some info about it.

Is it really necessary to read books for us to learn those things? Although it might helpful but this is really so traditional thing and I guess there are few people doing that.

Maybe better for him to watch the game live so that he would get an idea about the latest happening on the sports he tries to follow and place his bets. Since what we can read on books is just a theory and provably that not every information written there is helpful or something like we can follow. But if he really want to know more about the league and spots team maybe better visit the official site of the league  so that he or both of you guys could get an update on that sports you are watching.

It's a good thing he inquired to know the hidden secrets of gambling and yes is your duty to let him know what he intends to know, and I think if he really wants to know alot about gambling he should read and assimilate every information about it, cause they would serve as guidelines to what you intend to carry on with and reading books on mindsets would be great you know in helping to groom your mind about your decisions.

I think focusing on online classes will be more effective than reading books. No matter how much theoretical knowledge is gathered on gambling I don't think it will bring any benefit it is purely a matter of luck and good luck can be done without theoretical knowledge. In the case of sportsbetting, you must know the team well, especially in football and cricket, no matter how theoretical it is, if you bet without knowing about the club and the player, no benefit will come, no matter how much theoretical knowledge you have.

It's sports though? Not gambling. At the very least if it was sports gambling, I'd recommend them to read up on the sports itself, not anything gambling-related. Heck I wouldn't even recommend books! I'd tell him to watch matches instead with professional analysis done for some part. If he really wanted books then I reckon stuff related to strategy would be the ones he'd want. I reckon something like all the usual openings and stuff in Chess would be a good sample.

If he really wants books on gambling games and not sports betting, I really think he needs to realize he doesn't need any at all! No amount of knowledge can make you win against the house after all.

does he want to learn about the sports itself? i do not think you need to be skilled at the sports you are watching to be able to bet on it just make sure he knows the rule which is pretty often available on the internet and even without reading the more you watch the sport the more you will understand it anyway so just watch many matches even past ones

i am not big on books specifically for gambling just because i do not think there is much strategy to be made in gambling that i can read from books gambling is for entertainment and i do not think a lot of us are entertained by reading books i am not saying that your friend should not read books but i am also thinking how there is a much easier way to learn about gambling and sports betting or whatnot which is through the internet

Julien_Olynpic you asked something I didn't even think of hahaha  Cheesy
I've always searched knowledge here on the forum and developed my way of betting according to my sports knowledge, especially in soccer

I believe there should be several online courses teaching how to bet, but like every subject nowadays, there must be a lot of bad or wrong content about betting

One tip I have to offer, if your friend is losing a lot, is to focus on the sport he or she dominates, simple as that
Reducing the number of games but increasing the bet amount on a sport he understands and follows regularly can bring better results

The thing about gambling is that when you go in with fear on your back of your head be rest assured that you will lose money!!

And personally I think alot of reading will affect you confidence,  sometimes trust the process..let experience be your teacher!!

He loves books and believes that only books present knowledge systematically, and not chaotically, as on many websites. But his question stumped me.

Things like poker reading will certainly help because I have done it, but sports betting requires updated information to give yourself a shot at beating the house otherwise I still think reading just scratches the surface.

i don't think recommending a sport book will be good for him right now. there is a lot of past record in the net concerning sport which will give accurate tips of all what he needed or he should probably start being active in watching sport games, as that will give more highlight than reading a sportsbook. there is nothing more fun than actively watching games and how it ended than reading it. images are more long lasting in memory than mare reading.

i don't know if what i am saying is actually what you mean, but if not so then i guess why he needed the sportsbook will surely be learning about ways of scaling out from risk of losing. but i will say  there is no special advise needed than to gamble with what he can afford to lose or he should control his adrenalin when there is more lose or more win.

Recently I came across a punters page on social media that sell courses on gambling and a lot of people are buying those courses, I would say that it wasn't a bad idea for them to purchase because the Prices were very moderate. But in my opinion I find this to be quite unnecessary, the only things you need to read about gambling are the dangers of it and ways to overcome greed, this is one thing that can make you lose a lot of money in gambling. Asides from this I don't recommend you to read anything about how to gamble or how to understand it, this is something you can do by practicing consistently, no active gambler here read any materials on how to gamble.

Just bring him over on the forum and let him read the two sections of gambling and gambling discussion. And it's much better if he will join the discussions that he's interested with.

I guess that's the best thing he can read and it's more than a book with everyone that's active and as well as gamblers that will reply on his questions.

Sounds good, isn't it?

A book that will make him to begin to win? Tell him not to deceives himself. That gambling and betting are not about making money but about entertaining oneself. The best that you can tell him is to let him know about using just 1% of his income on gambling, that if he increases the percentage, it should not be more than 5%. I did not read any book for gambling.
According to the OP, his friend observed that he needs more theoretical knowledge about gambling. There might be no book that will teach him how to win bets but his lack of relevant knowledge might have contributed to his losses. Discovering his lapses and working to improve his skills is not a bad idea.

I also didn't read books about gambling. Watching videos, reading game manuals and ToS of gambling platforms were my basic sources of gambling information. Joining gambling social media groups could be also helpful , since they usually give some helpful tips.
Theoretical knowledge about gambling connotes that he must be active following up the updates about matches, especially if he is most concerned about sports betting than casino games, and of course for casino games there are more similar games he might come across while growing, meaning that he can throw back no those game to win. Example of such games are; Dice game, l can vividly remembered that while growing we used to play dice and card game (whort) though it's not my favorite but we usually plays it as then. At least there is level of understanding in this game, but talking about sports betting then he must develop time to keep following up the news, watching football with this he can start having the theoretical knowledge about gambling.

There is no book that can be given as reading material for betting on several types of bets.
For me, in sports betting, what he (your friend) must do is like the type of sport which then makes him know and master the game of the sport. Then slowly begin to understand which teams and on what basis he places bets.
The most basic thing I can mention in betting on football. He needs to follow every team that competes every week.

In our internet era, finding books about gambling is not difficult; just enter a query in the search, and you will get thousands of results. But I still think that these books are unlikely to be a step-by-step guide to winning and winning the jackpot; rather, these are general rules known to all, written from different sides by different views of the authors. But I agree that the more information we draw from all sources, including books, the more confident our actions will be not only in the practice of gambling but also in all other endeavors.

Here are several books that the search gives when you query about gambling
