Guideline for Gambling Book Purchases

By: Jack Reider

There are many ways to find books on gambling and every thing covered by that subject. The simplest way is to use the internet. The internet has many websites dedicated to books such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble where you can do a search for the book you want. There is a very large selection of books on subjects like, how to win at blackjack, the rules of poker and any on all the different versions of these games. Although many of the books were actually written by some of the smartest mathematicians and professional gamblers, who show you in great detail how the games work and how to beat them, most of them were written by people who were just trying to make a buck and are not worth the paper they are printed on. So with so many choices how are you supposed to find the best one? The best way to do this is to find a forum of book reviews from people who have read the book, but not professional book reviewers and see what other people like yourself have to say about the book. Only pick the books that got the best reviews. Stay away from the books that no one liked, except if the book is a very recent release. New books may not have been reviewed yet and you may have to take the chance or wait till others have had time to read it and test out what it says.

Before searching for a book on gambling in general try to narrow the search down by being at least game specific, so do not do a search for casino games, do a search for Roulette instead. This will show you books on the rules of blackjack, the origins of the game, and other basic facts about the game. If you are looking for something more specific then you can do a more detailed search like betting strategies for Blackjack. Another good idea is not to go too far above your skill level if you just state playing the game last month do not start buying books on advanced poker tips. At this point you should only be looking for beginners and easy intermediate advice.

Choosing the right book should be taken very seriously, as serious as you picked the university you went to. This book is what you are counting on to teach you things that you are going to be betting money on. The wrong choice will cost you. Before making any purchase, do searches for the Author, see what his credentials are. If he made a million dollars before he was 30 and made it all gambling then the book could be good, but if the guy is in his 50s and has been gambling and holding down 2 jobs, maybe he is not the one you want to take advice from. You may also come across some of their previous writings and can get a feel for their writing styles. The author may be a genius, but if you fall asleep after every sentence, what good is the material.

The price of the book is another thing that should be taken in consideration. Generally, not all the pricy books are worth their price even if they promise to solve all your financial problems for good. On the other hand, losing your money in a casino while trying to save money on a gambling book is not such a brilliant idea. Anyway, determine in advance how much you are willing to pay for a book on gambling.

If you are looking for a book on a specific subject within a vast topic such as on playing Texas Holdem at online casinos or in an online tournament, you need to be extra cautious. Your choice will be slim, but still, check out whether others have read it. Check whether others are buying it too.
