Alex Carter Posted January 23 Alex Carter Posted January 23 Hey everyone, quick question—anyone here into reading about casinos? Whether it’s strategy guides, true stories, or even fiction, I’d love some recommendations. Feels like it could help me level up my game😎 Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Miller Posted January 23 David Miller Posted January 23 Oh man, you gotta read "Bringing Down the House" by Ben Mezrich. It’s about the MIT blackjack team that cleaned out Vegas back in the day. Super intense and shows how much math and discipline go into card counting. Even if you’re just a slot player, it’s inspiring. Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-42 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjun Posted January 23 Arjun Posted January 23 That’s a classic! If you want something more fiction-y but still about casinos, try "Casino Royale" by Ian Fleming. Bond playing high-stakes baccarat? It’s iconic. Plus, it gets you into the mindset of taking calculated risks—something we all need at the tables.

aSan1387 Posted January 23 aSan1387 Posted January 23 For the math nerds, gotta shout out The Theory of Gambling and Statistical Logic by Richard A. Epstein 📚. Yeah, it’s a bit of a brain workout 💀, but if you wanna really get into the nitty-gritty of probabilities and game theory, it’s pure gold 💰. It showed me why some games are legit worth grinding, while others are just bankroll killers 🚫 Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-50 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Carter Posted January 23 Alex Carter Posted January 23 These are great! I’m adding them to my list. What about books that help with managing mindset? I feel like I tilt way too much after a losing streak😅 Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-57 Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Miller Posted January 23 David Miller Posted January 23 For mindset, check out "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler. Yeah, it’s about poker, but the mental strategies apply to any kind of gambling. Staying cool, knowing when to walk away—it’s all there Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-58 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjun Posted January 23 Arjun Posted January 23 Agreed. I’d also throw in "Gambling for Life" by Harry Findlay. It’s part autobiography, part gambling philosophy. He’s made (and lost) millions betting on sports and horses, and it’s all about managing risk and reward. Super relatable for any gambler Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-59 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aSan1387 Posted January 23 aSan1387 Posted January 23 If you’re looking for pure entertainment 🎭, check out Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson 📖. It’s not about strategies or winning 🎲, but it nails the chaos and surreal side of gambling culture perfectly 🤪🎰 Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-65 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Carter Posted January 23 Alex Carter Posted January 23 This is an amazing mix of suggestions—thanks, everyone! I’ll start with Mezrich’s book and then dive into the rest. Let’s see if any of these give me an edge or at least help me stay sane on bad runs Link to comment https://forum.1wozdk.life/topic/19-favorite-books-about-casinos/#findComment-68 Share on other sites More sharing options...
