Introduction

Here are my personal reviews of a whole host of gambling books. I hope they motivate you to learn more about how to prepare yourself to face the casinos. If you do wish to buy any of these books just click the link and you’ll go straight to the Amazon order page.

Books I recommend are indicated with a star. I am including links even to the books I don’t like, just to be consistent and fair, not to encourage you to buy them.

Book Categories: Gambling in General | Blackjack | Other Games | Fiction

Books about Craps

Craps: Take the Money and Run by Henry J. Tamburin

The only thing I don't like about this book is the title. I do like the author’s “just the facts” approach, explaining all the rules, the etiquette, and the house.

Golden Touch Dice Control Revolution by Frank Scoblete and Dominator

This book goes over a host of subjects relating skilled dice throwing. The target audience is beginning level throwers. Topics include proper grip, strategy at the table, bankroll management, team play, and stories from the authors’ own experiences. I’m still skeptical about dice control in general, but assuming it is true, the advice in the book looks sound.

John Patrick's Craps by John Patrick

While I only skimmed the book in the book store I can’t recommend it because the author advocates the any craps bet as a hedge. The any craps bet has a house edge of 11.11% and should not be made for any reason. However following his advice will result in less short term bankroll volatility.

Winning Craps for the Serious Player by J. Edward Allen

This book will tell you everything you need to know about craps. The author takes the reader though all the various bets, explaining the odds and house edge, while mixing in stories and examples to make the reading more colorful. My only complaint is the overdoing it with the promises of beating the casinos on the cover.

Wong on Dice by Stanford Wong

Although I’m still skeptical of the entire topic of dice setting this is an honest presentation on the topic. Topics include evidence and history thus far that it works, various dice settings, the throw of the dice, what to bet on and how much. The book is no substitute for actual lessons and a lot of practice.

Books about Poker

Dirty Poker by Richard Marcus

It isn’t often I say this about gambling book, but I enjoyed every page of this book. However, after reading it, I’m going to be afraid to play poker again with strangers.

Get the Edge at Low-Limit Texas Hold 'Em by Bill Burton

This book covers the basics of texas hold 'em. Targeted to beginners, it is easy to read and has lots of stories and examples from the author’s own experience. Unlike another poker book I read it isn’t heavy on memorizing hands and how to play them but rather understanding the reasons behind the plays.

The Mathematics of Poker by Bill Chen

This is a very mathematically heavy book regarding the game theory surrounding the game of poker. I think this will be of more value to academics studying the game than those who play it only. For those who love to dig deep into the math of poker, I can't think of anything to compare. College level statistics should be a prerequisite to follow every stop, but anybody with a healthy interest in math should learn something from it. If anything, I think the book argues for a more aggressive style of bluffing than most players employ.

The Poker Tournament Formula (parts 1 and 2) by Arnold Snyder

I enthusiastically endorse every book by gambling writer Arnold Snyder. This time he turns his attention to poker, in particular poker tournaments. Tournaments call for a much more aggressive style of play, that is less about the cards and more about the players. Snyder tells you how to beat the many players who incorrectly play tournaments like a cash game. Written in simple down to earth language.

Books about Roulette

Spin Roulette Gold by Frank Scoblete

This book correctly says that there is no way to beat a fair game of roulette with a betting system. It goes go into detail about beating unfair games of roulette by various means. In my opinion, the only humanly possible way to beat roulette, without cheating, is to find a biased wheel, which this book does address. There have been a few documented cases of this being done. However, in the modern casinos, I believe the wheels are too well made to have an exploitable bias. Finally, I believe the wheel bias confidence chart on page 58 to be flat out wrong, and will result in a high chance of a false positive. Don’t be fooled by the title, if it is possible to beat roulette, it would be VERY hard to do so.

Books about Sports Betting

Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong

Wong discusses how to improve your odds on everything from straight bet to exploiting many unusual bets such as parlays and teasers. It is rather math heavy so Wong provides sample problems and solutions. This one is certainly one of the most worn out of the many gambling books on my shelves.

The Smart Money — How the World’s Best Sports Bettors Beat the Bookies out of Millions by Michael Konik

This is an interesting and informative look inside what is probably the biggest U.S. sports betting syndicate. The names have been changed to protect the characters, but it is commonly rumored to be about the Billy Walters organization. They let the author into their trust as a beard (someone who makes bets for others) for several years. The book is about his adventures betting millions of dollars a year on sports. Don’t expect to learn much about handicapping, but the book should be a very enjoyable read for those with an interest in the topic. I don’t say this often about gambling books, but it was hard to put down.

Books about Video Poker

Million Dollar Video Poker by Bob Dancer

Dancer milked video poker for all it was worth and this is the story of how he did it, from a bankroll of a few thousand to over a million. Video poker today is not as lucrative as it was in the nineties but it is still informative and an enjoyable read.

The Secret World of Video Poker Progressives by Frank Kneeland

I have never seen the topic of this book discussed much before, let alone an entire book about it. The book itself is the size of a small phone book, so packs a lot of content. It is a mixture of video poker math and stories about the author’s experiences leading a video poker progressive team. I’ve never paid much attention to progressives personally, because I know when they get good a team will quickly take them down, so I skimmed over lots of the book. However, if progressive hunting is something you do, or think you might do, I think this book is must reading.

Video Poker Optimum Play by Dan Paymar

This 198 page book contains a close to perfect strategy for jacks or better, deuces wild, and joker poker. There are also chapters briefly covering other games as well as a host of video poker related topics. The writing is a bit dry but the math seems very solid. This is the best overall book on video poker I have seen.

Books about Other Games

How to Win Millions Playing Slot Machines … or Lose Trying by Frank Legato

Great title. This could just as easily be classified as a humor book as a gambling book. Among other topics the book explains how slots work and debunks the numerous myths that abound with slot players. Looking for a way to beat slots? You won’t find it in this book, or anywhere. However I found the information accurate and enjoyable to read. On the other hand there was a lot of fluff and filler. The essential information could have been boiled down to something 10% the size.

The Lottery Book by Don Catlin

I’m not big on playing the lottery but if you do have an interest this book covers the topic quite thoroughly. The author is a former math professor and gives the topic a professional treatment. The book features a chapter on how to calculate lottery odds, stories about past winners, explanation of the various kinds of lotteries, and a state by state breakdown of the house advantage of each game. There isn’t too much more to say about lotteries in my opinion.

Mastering the Game of Caribbean Stud Poker by Stanley Ko

Just about everything there is to say about Caribbean Stud Poker.

Mastering the Game of Let it Ride by Stanley Ko

Just about everything there is to say about Let it Ride. Includes a strategy on how to adjust your strategy based on other player’s cards you can see.

Mastering the Game of Three Card Poker by Stanley Ko

Just about everything there is to say about Three Card Poker. Includes information on how to play if you can see one of the dealer’s cards.

Optimal Strategy for Pai Gow Poker by Stanford Wong

As usual anything by Stanford Wong is about as good as it gets. The book explains why the rules in southern California are the best for playing pai gow poker and his strategies are designed for playing against other good players, as opposed to the casino house way. The 160 pages also contain a complete optimal strategy, an abbreviated one that will cover the vast majority of hands correctly, and 29 pages of practice hands.

I also recommend Nick Christenson's reviews of gambling books.

Written by: Michael Shackleford

Poker events with million-dollar or higher buy-ins don't come around often, but when they do, they sure are exciting. The Triton Million - A Helping Hand for Charity was no exception as it brought together some of the world's best professionals to play alongside avid poker 'recreationals' — all putting up their £1,050,000 buy-in to compete for the title in the richest tournament in poker history.

The fifty-four hopefuls created a £54 million prize pool with a brilliant £2.7 million going to charitable causes. But only one player walk away with the victory, and after three days of intense action, China's Aaron Zang claimed that post.

When heads-up play started, Zang and Bryn Kenney took a moment to spark up a deal. Kenney had over five times the chips at the time and took £16,890,509 to Zang’s £13,779,491, meaning although Zang would take down the title, it was Kenney claiming the lion's share of the money, securing a score of approximately $20,537,000.

'Bryn (Kenney) played better than me, but I always thought maybe the dream can come true.'

With a crowd of supporters surrounding Zang, he was presented with the Triton Million trophy by co-founder Paul Phua and was unable to contain his joy. 'This feels like a dream come true!' said Zang with echoes of applause filling the arena.

Phua congratulated his friend on his achievement and reminisced about their cash games together in Macau over the past nine years. 'Aaron is not a tournament player normally; I hope this shows to all non-pros they can win. Aaron is good but I didn't think he was that good!' joked Phua.

Zang admitted he felt he made mistakes at the final table, but despite falling to just three million chips at one stage, he said he refocused on his game and his dream.

'Bryn (Kenney) played better than me, but I always thought maybe the dream can come true. I am so happy and also very honored to have played against everyone.'

Triton Million Final Table Payouts

7	Alfred DeCarolis	United States	£1,720,000	$2,082,911
8	Timothy Adams	Canada	£1,400,000	$1,695,393

Triton Million Final Table

There was no shortage of action at the final table as aggressive bets and monster bluffs started happening on just the second round of the final day. Timothy Adams opened and received a call from only Alfred DeCarolis. Adams fired on the jack-high flop and again when the board paired on the turn.

The river saw two pair come on the board and Adams slowed down, checking to DeCarolis who without hesitation moved all in with ace-high. Adams mucked his pocket nines and DeCarolis instantly turned over his ace-three of diamonds, showing the first, but definitely not the last, major bluff of the day.

Paul Phua: 'Aaron [Zang] is not a tournament player normally; I hope this shows to all non-pros they can win.'

Adams built his stack back up to almost that of where he started the final day and found a great spot against the start of the day chipleader Vivek Rajkumar. The Canadian raised it up, DeCarolis called and Rajkumar pushed all of his chips into the middle. Adams made the call in what was the biggest pot of the day so far and DeCarolis thought hard, ultimately letting his hand go.

Adams tabled kings against the ace-ten of Rajkumar and DeCarolis then acknowledged that he folded an ace, leaving Rajkumar with just two aces left in the deck. An ace appeared regardless and Adams was the first on the day to exit in eighth place.

The very next hand saw Rajkumar try to pull a fast one on Stephen Chidwick with the dead man's hand. Chidwick showed no sign of budging as he called Rajkumar without ease until the river when Rajkumar pushed the Brit all-in.

Chidwick threw all of his time extension chips into the pot instantly to buy himself some time holding just second pair on the board. Only a minute later Chidwick found it in him to call and was spot-on as Rajkumar tabled ace-high, sending a massive double-up to one of the most dangerous poker players in the world.

Chidwick continued on the very next hand, putting DeCarolis all in with his pocket aces. DeCarolis called for his remaining stack, holding ace-three. DeCarolis picked up a wheel draw on the turn, but the river was an ace and Chidwick pulled in another pot, sending DeCarolis out in seventh place.

Everyone's favorite poker-playing businessman Bill Perkins came into the final table as the short stack and grinded all the way to sixth before his eventual departure. Perkins grabbed a few doubles on his way, outlasting two of his foes, but could not crack the aces of Kenney with his king-ten and he was sent on his way.

The start-of-day chipleader Rajkumar played the Triton Million like a home game, enjoying every minute and creating action during every hand he played. Rajkumar had a rollercoaster of a final day, dropping early, bouncing back through the Adam's elimination, and right back down with a bluff into the Chidwick.

Rajkumar's biggest low came when he flopped top two against Dan Smith who was holding an overpair. The two put it all in the middle with Rajkumar a favorite to eliminate Smith and take a commanding chip lead in the process.

Instead, it was Smith who took the lead after finding an unlikely jack on the river, leaving Rajkumar short. Rajkumar started a comeback but found himself as the second to run into the aces of Kenney. He was unable to catch up and took an exit in fifth place.

It took just over two hours of four-handed play before another casualty would hit the rail. Kenney and Zang took over for those two hours, leaving Smith and Chidwick on the lower end of things. Shortly after the dinner break, Chidwick opened with a pair of sevens and Kenney instantly moved all in over the top with king-jack.

Chidwick thought for a couple of minutes but in the end, he called and the two took to a classic flip situation. Kenney flopped a king and Chidwick failed to catch up, leaving the tournament in fourth place.

Kenney continued his terror just eight hands later, moving all in from the button with queen-ten of hearts and Smith called for his remaining stack with ace-ten. Smith was in a favorable spot positioned to secure a double.

The cards had other plans though as Kenney flopped top pair with a flush draw. Smith had straight possibilities but failed to connect as Kenney took down the pot, sending Smith out in third for a respectable £7,200,000.

After the elimination of Smith, there was a new leader of the all-time money list as Kenney secured at least a second-place cash and was going to surpass Justin Bonomo no matter the outcome.

'You have to detach yourself from the money and get your mindset right into thinking it's just another day at the office. I don't really care about the money, I just want to win the biggest tournament in poker history.'

Speaking on the opportunity to take over as the all-time money list leader Kenney said: 'I always told everyone I was going to be number one and the thing is once I do hit number one, no one is ever going to touch it again. If I get a little bit of luck here today, then good luck to anyone taking it back from me.'

'I always told everyone I was going to be number one and the thing is once I do hit number one, no one is ever going to touch it again.'

The heads-up play started with Kenney having over a five-to-one chip lead. Kenney came out swinging but Zang stayed patient and waited for his spot. Zang won the first all in with his pair of sixes against the king-queen of Kenney. Zang called a raise of Kenney with king-seven and flopped three kings just a couple of hands after.

Kenney check-raised the turn, Zang called and fired out on the river with nothing. Zang moved all in and Kenney instantly released. The very next hand Kenney flopped the nut flush draw after calling a raise preflop and check-raised. Zang moved all in and Kenney instantly called. Zang dodged the spades and Kenney had to settle for second place in title, after securing the biggest payday of the tournament.
