A deliciously wry, edge-of-your-seat memoir about making a fortune from counting cards.
Filled with actual bad guys, chase scenes, and high stakes, "Repeat Until Rich" is an intoxicating, unprecedented view of the dangerous allure of living off the cards and by one's wits. At twenty-four, Josh Axelrad held down a respectable but dull job on Wall Street. Then one night, a stranger at a cocktail party persuaded him to leave the nine- to-five behind and pursue an unlikely dream: the jackpot. Taut, atmospheric, and written with clarity and wit, "Repeat Until Rich" presents a darkly hilarious account of ditching the mundane and entering the alternative universe of professional blackjack-with all its intrigue, adventure, and cash.

The Gambler was written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The novel reflects Dostoevsky's addiction to roulette, which was not just a strong inspiration for the book, because Dostoevsky had to finish the novel to pay gambling debts.

I have been looking for the one poker book that contains all of the games, rules, and strategy for playing poker. Now, I've written it. The Poker Book includes how to play almost 100 variations of poker. This book covers Flop games like Hold'em, Omaha, and Pineapple. There are Stud games like Razz, Chicago, and Baseball. The Draw games Jacks or Better, Ace to Five, and Badugi are in there. There is also a section just for Guts games, including Monte Carlo, Consecutive, and Three to Five. It even has the rules for Chinese Poker. With the help of the Poker Tournament Directors' Association and Robert, The Coach, Ciaffone The Poker Book gives you the official TDA Rules and Robert's Rules of Poker. These are the two definitive authorities of poker in the world. Whether you are a novice or advanced player, the Poker Book will become your ONE source for all games of poker. I was looking for a book that would tell me all the rules and how to play the games I wanted to play. I had a terrible time trying to find such a book, so I wrote one. This is it. I'm not going to tell you about any hand I've played but how to play the hands you might be dealt. Here are the rules for almost every game of poker. I hope to give you basic strategies that will help improve your game. The more popular the game, the more information I've included. In discussing how to play, I write about hands, position and chip stacks but there is so much more to every hand. I can't go into every scenario that you will run into; there isn't a book big enough. I can give you the ability to think through your situation and improve your game. There are four main categories of poker games and I will explain them in this order, Flop, Stud, Draw and Guts. Each game can be played on a variety of structures. There's No-limit, Pot-limit, Limit, Spread Limit, Cap-Limit. I cover the differences and how they can affect your play. I also discuss Split and Mixed games.

If you think luck is random, THINK AGAIN Human beings possess a subtle energy field that envelops the physical body. When activated, it is capable of manufacturing luck and producing remarkably accurate powers of intuition and foresight. Beneath the deceptive fabric of everyday reality, energy fields continually wage wars to determine who "gets lucky." Those that possess naturally gifted energy fields (such as world class poker players Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu) cannot be defeated with skill alone. So the question becomes, "How can YOU develop and use this psychic energy?" THE PSYCHIC GAMBLING SUPERSYSTEM provides the answers. Author Sunil Padiyar offers an engaging study of both the scientific and spiritual aspects of luck, intuition and foresight, all while taking the reader on a riveting journey from the modern theories of Quantum Physics ("God does not play dice " said Albert Einstein, only to realize later that he was wrong) to the metaphysical theories in the ancient scriptures of the Hindu Upanishads (written as far back as in the first millennium BC). The author recounts authentic stories to describe his own mystic beginnings in a strange and remarkable land, and reveals the intriguing experiences that led to his personal discovery of the principles on which the book is based. He then presents his three-part Supersystem, designed not only to allow you to win more often in games of chance, but to improve your psychic abilities in all aspects of life. Each component of the Supersystem is explained with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and examples. The final four chapters of the book focus on practical application, and give you the specific techniques you need to harness your psychic powers for winning at poker, blackjack, slots, craps, keno, lottery, horse racing, and other games of chance.

The intent of Winning Blue-Collar Hold'em is not to put you at the final table at the WSOP or WPT. Instead, the intention of the author is to improve the play of the average low-limit/low buy-in Texas Hold'em player. Televised tournament final tables or high-stakes games distort the way average players approach the game. On TV you see only 10% of the action. The successful bluff or an improbable two out all-in is exciting, and thus will make the program, while you rarely see the player making the solid play, except when they lose to the two-outer. The other aspect players viewing televised poker fail to understand is that the style of play seen at the final table is not the same style of play that it takes to make the final table. This book takes you beyond the "What" of poker and provides you with the "How" and "Why" you need to become a winning low-stakes player. The use of poker aphorisms (pokerisms) throughout the book separates it from all of the other books on the market.

The professional gambler at the Thoroughbred racetracks needs certain qualities of mind in order to prevail. In The Psychology of the Winning Horseplayer I analyze these qualities and suggest ways to acquire and improve them. Having a good method of selection and sound money-management skills although crucially important will not be enough to keep a horseplayer in the black during a long season at the track. What he needs are the psychological insights that will enable him to develop good control, steel discipline, and presence of mind when the pressure is on. The ideas in the twenty chapters of this book are indispensable to the gambler who intends to be in the racetrack game a long time and make substantial money along the way.

My wagering system, WILL make you Win MORE OFTEN My "System" is absolutely revolutionary to the world of horse betting, as you know it And, out of pure generosity; I'm going to divulge it to the entire Internet community. I sometimes hit 70% of my win bets I'm now 41 years of age and as of age 28; I was officially a professional horse handicapper. I've lived all over the world, and over the past ten years (and since the advent of the Internet), I've made a very comfortable living wagering primarily on the game of Horse Racing. My techniques work overseas and quite obviously here in the good old U.S.A. I once spent three months in an entirely foreign land with just 2,000.00USD to my name. I came back home with a little over 12k (http: //thetuttlemathpsm.com/).

Sports betting doesn't have to be a gamble. Yes, it's still speculation but the chances of success can be maximized if one doesn't bet on a whim but develops a sound sports betting strategy. This book provides no quick fix formulas but gives you the tools and intellectual framework to develop your own sports betting strategy based on your individual knowledge and abilities. The author analyzes the game of sports betting, why most people lose and ways those common mistakes can be avoided. Basic strategies (The Underdog, The Favorite and Diversification) and their limitations are analyzed in depth and insight is provided into just about every aspect of strategic sports betting from emotional discipline to developing your own system. Ninety percent of people betting on sports lose. If this little book won't provide a fixed formula for success, it will put you that much closer to the winning ten percent.

In this revised & updated edition of his bestselling book Winning Money, Patrick Austin expands on and adds to his already proven strategies that can be used in casinos worldwide and for online betting & gambling. Now, you too can share in the secrets that Cracked the Roulette Wheel. How many times in a row can you flip a quarter and make it go heads? Maybe four or five? This is a very difficult task because in reality, a streak of four or five heads in row just does not occur very often. Simply put, Patrick's systems capitalize upon the probabilities of long streaks, just like flipping a quarter. In Cracking the Roulette Wheel, Patrick will show you the exact steps you need to play these systems including: * How to methodically generate potential profits in excess of $200 per hour. * The amount of money suggested to use. * The proper and disciplined betting sequences and when to jump in on a streak. * How many hours you will want to play to maximize your profits and lower your risks. * How to take advantage of all of the complimentary services that casinos offer "high rollers." These are not traditional, basic betting sequences that have been tried and failed for decades nor a "Get Rich Quick Scheme" but rather a scientific, methodical approach to success. Patrick's systems are based on statistics and numbers, and are the key reasons why his systems work.

The Gambler is a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky about a young tutor in the employment of a formerly wealthy Russian General. The novella reflects Dostoevsky's own addiction to roulette, which was in more ways than one the inspiration for the book: Dostoevsky completed the novella under a strict deadline so he could pay off gambling debts.

The object of this book, Any Given Day is to take the gamble out of sports gambling. The statistical probability system explained in this book is an objective system for both professional football and basketball. There is no guess work as the system is based on simple math and statistics.
The system was developed in the early 1950's while working with my father who taught physics and calculus in college. Coming together, a mining and civil engineer and a teacher, coach and athletic director, the system has been refined and brought up to date for todays sports.
February 6, 1005 which was Super Bowl XXXIX the exact score was predicted by the system, New England 24 and Philadelphia 21. Because of this, I was called gifted in Las Vegas. There are many games listed in the book that pick the exact score. How about week 10 played November 10, 2002 between Atlanta and Pittsburg. The system picked the game to be a tie. I called the game at 24 Atlanta and 24 Pittsburg. That became the final score after overtime. No game had ended in a tie for many years, and until this year, 2008, there had been no other.
This book is much more than just the winning football and basketball system as it covers sports gaming rules, sports talk, the type of wagers, and which to use and which to stay away from using. This is a real love novel because with one $10.00 two team parlay bet you will almost double the price you paid for this book.
The chapter, Beyond Stupidity, is enlightening as it gives the reader an inside look at the coaching world. A mistake by a coach can cause a loss, Where as, a mistake by a player may not. You will see why coaches are finally being paid more money than in the early years of pro sports.
Money Management is a very important chaper for any phase of life. Remember Pigs get fat, and hogs get slaughtered. Self-discipline, self-control and mental strength is a large part of money management. Here is where we will talk about a few tricks of the trade.
As in any business or job, there are trade secrets that can help make a winner.
In this chapter, we will show how to set short and long term goals. How to play both teams playing in a game and win with both. Here you will also see how to bet without losing any money. You will either win or break even.
Nothing in this world changes over night, and if it does change for a short time it is called an upset. There are lotteries in many states where you pick all or a number of games. This book will tell you how to play these.
The last chapter will review the 2004-2005 Season. We will go week by week and show who, why, and how we picked the game and team to bet.
Although, over the past 7 years, in picking all of the National
Ffootball League games the winning percentage is 70.67%. In basketball, over the last four years, by playing the teams, that fit into the system, a fantastic 86.3% have been winners. It only got better in 2009 as the system picked 93% winners, 134 wins out of 144 games.
The book will show that at one point out of 21 plays the system picked 20 wins and 1 tie. These were parlay combinations using 45 teams. Another 4 week group of plays will show 24 wins with 1 tie using 54 teams in parlay combinations.
Once you have mastered this easy system, you will be able to rate 16 games in 20 minutes. This is recession proof and does not require a bail out. Also, you will never need to pay for tips again. You will be the handicapper
