Recently revised from the Mid-February edition as of 11/01/08. I've made a very concerted effort to try and incorporate as much pertinent horsemanship knowledge into the chapters; as a way to better serve the novice; average, or below average horseplayer. I truly believe that after reading this book, you will immediately come away with a better sense of yourself (as a horseplayer), and will soon realize where exactly it is you want to be as a horseplayer. Or, you might have a wonderful epiphany and realize that maybe you too can become a more successful horseplayer. Maybe, a "professional" I must admit that if you're taking yourself at all seriously, you are also going to need my newest horse handicapping book... "The Tuttle Way" or "The Tuttle Way II." are a bit more advanced, and it can only help further your development as a Horseplayer.

Hello, I'm David Greene, and this is my second offering as a writer of Sports Betting books. I've been making quite the nice living wagering on College and Pro sports (not just Football), for almost fifteen years now. I've been recently persuaded to go public with all of my self-taught theories and practices. I've come to believe that if I am any kind of a teacher; that anyone with the proper amount of motivation; can absolutely be taught how to become a Pro. Throughout this booklet of mine you will (at the very least) learn a heightened degree of discipline. This alone, will completely revitalize your career as a gambler. This booklet was designed to help all levels of Sports Gamblers. But, I must admit it primarily delves into football betting, mostly. So, if you're a novice or at the avid level; I assure you that this booklet will help you immensely

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 39 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.

Blackjack Card Counting is an easy-to-understand reference book for players to use to gain an advantage at casino blackjack by counting cards. The method works because if the dealer reveals more small cards than large cards, the average value of the remaining cards increases. If there are relatively more high cards remaining, the probability of a blackjack paying 3 to 2 increases, the probability of winning on a doubled-down bet increases, and the probability of the dealer busting with a 12 to 16 showing increases. Topics include blackjack basics, counting cards, the running count, the true count, betting strategy, and player decisions. The book includes charts showing the optimal blackjack strategy depending on the card count. The author is a mathematician with experience as a consultant to the gaming industry who has sold thousands of books.

The glitter and excitement that tourists associate with casinos is only a facade. To the gaming industry's front-line employees, its dealers, the casino is a far less glamorous environment, a workplace full of emotional tension, physical and mental demands, humor and pathos. Author H. Lee Barnes, who spent many years as a dealer in some of Las Vegas's best-known casinos, shows us this world from the point of view of the table-games dealer. Told in the voices of dozens of dealers, male and female, young and old, Dummy Up and Deal takes us to the dealer's side of the table. We observe the ""breaking in"" that constitutes a dealer's training, where the hands learn the motions of the game while the mind undergoes the requisite hardening to endure long hours of concentration and the demands of often unreasonable and sometimes abusive players. We discover how dealers are hired and assigned to shifts and tables, how they interact with each other and with their supervisors, and how they deal with players-the winners and the losers, the ""Sweethearts"" and the ""Dragon Lady,"" the tourists looking for a few thrills and the mobsters showing off their ""juice."" We observe cheaters on both sides of the table and witness the exploits of such high-rollers as Frank Sinatra and Colonel Parker, Elvis's manager. And we learn about the dealers' lives after-hours, how some juggle casino work with family responsibilities while others embrace the bohemian lifestyle of the Strip and sometimes lose themselves to drugs, drink, or sex. It's a life that invites cynicism and bitterness, that can erode the soul and deaden the spirit. But the dealer's life can also offer moments of humor, encounters with generous and kindly players, moments of pride or humanity or professional solidarity. Barnes writes with the candor of a keen observer of his profession, someone who has seen it all-many times-but has never lost his capacity to wonder, to sympathize, or to laugh. Dummy Up and Deal is a colorful insider's view of the casino industry, a fascinating glimpse behind the glitter into the real world of the casino worker.

Roulettechess is a unique roulette textbook with over a hundred American and French flexible game strategies, including basic roulette playing instructions. The strategies are designed to show players how to reduce risk by selecting offensive and defensive numbers for the same spin of the wheel.

This work is a complete mathematical guide to lottery games, covering all of the problems related to probability, combinatorics, and all parameters describing the lottery matrices, as well as the various playing systems. The mathematics sections describe the mathematical model of the lottery, which is in fact the essence of the lotto game. The applications of this model provide players with all the mathematical data regarding the parameters attached to the gaming events and personal playing systems. By applying these data, one can find all the winning probabilities for the play with one line (for each category in part or cumulatively), and how these probabilities change with playing the various types of systems containing several lines, depending on their structure. Also, each playing system has a formula attached that provides the number of possible multiple prizes in various circumstances. Other mathematical parameters of the playing systems and the correlations between them are also presented. The generality of the mathematical model and of the obtained formulas allows their application for any existent lottery (including variations like Keno) and any playing system. Each formula is followed by numerical results covering the most frequent lottery matrices worldwide and by multiple examples predominantly belonging to the 6/49 lottery. The listing of the numerical results in dozens of well-organized tables, along with instructions and examples of using them, makes possible the direct usage of this guide by players without a mathematical background. The author also discusses from a mathematical point of view the strategies of choosing involved in the lotto game. The book does not offer so-called winning strategies (proving that the only strategy is that of choosing), but helps players to better organize their own playing systems and to confront their own convictions (so many times based on false perceptions) with the incontestable reality offered by the direct applications of the mathematical model of the lotto game. As a must-have handbook for any lottery player, this book offers essential information about the game itself and can provide the basis for gaming decisions of any kind.

This book begins with my day of sentencing. I had been practicing law in Henderson, North Carolina for ten years and on this day I am in court for armed bank robbery. I share what this day was like as well as prison life. While confined, I came to the realization that I was a compulsive gambler. I share my background of growing up in a small rural area in Eastern North Carolina and the details of how my gambling began and more specifically the card game of poker. Recounting and sharing many aspects of my life were painful but then there were other aspects that were a joy. Sharing my mental hospital experience and the sharing of the crime were difficult. But sharing where I am now and how blessed I have been were moments of joy. It is about this thirty-six year old lawyer who had been practicing law for ten years but because of unwise choices, flawed judgment, terrible foresight and bad habits, eventually ends up in prison. I end this book by attempting to show that in the face of adversities, one can still overcome and be successful, if he has the determination, perseverance and faith. The book in not intended to be a detailed autobiography but rather a life of gambling; especially, the card game of poker.

A riveting inside look at the lucrative world of professional high-stakes sports betting by a journalist who lived a secret life as a key operative in the world's most successful sports gambling ring.

When journalist Michael Konik landed an interview with Rick "Big Daddy" Matthews, the largest bet he'd placed on a sporting event was $200. Konik, an expert blackjack and poker player, was no stranger to Vegas. But Matthews was in a different league: the man was rumored to be the world's smartest sports bettor, the mastermind behind "the Brain Trust," a shadowy group of gamblers known for their expertise in beating the Vegas line. Konik had heard the word on the street -- that Matthews was a snake, a conniver who would do anything to gain an edge. But he was also brilliant, cunning, and charming. And when he asked Konik if he'd like to "make a little money" during the football season, the writer found himself seduced . . .

So began Michael Konik's wild ride as an operative of the elite Brain Trust. In "The Smart Money," Konik takes readers behind the veil of secrecy shrouding the most successful sports betting operation in America, bypassing the myths and the rumors, going all the way to its innermost sanctum. He reveals how they -- and he -- got rich by beating the Vegas lines and, ultimately, the multimillion-dollar offshore betting circuit. He details the excesses and the betrayals, the horse-trading and the paranoia, that are the perks and perils of a lifestyle in which staking inordinate sums of money on the outcome of a single event -- sometimes as much as $1 million on a football game -- is a normal part of doing business.

Raceching is one of the most innovative and exciting books ever written. Based on the Confucian classic I Ching, it is written in a unique earthy style that is easy to understand and will appeal to all age groups. The author whose name is the same as the book adds his own ground breaking techniques when it comes to showing people how to make everyday predictions by using the Chinese oracle.
Race has included new information in regard to the lines of the I Ching, by describing a series of actions which he calls single line tenses. These are a set of drawings, showing in graphic detail the actions of each and every line of the sixty-four hexagrams, when they move and change into another (moving line).
Raceching shows a new way to form the hexagrams by a simple process of word and letter counting, this is not only easy to operate, but deadly accurate when making predictions. There is also a chapter dedicated to a technique called psychic anagramming, where readers learn a new way to predict the future by looking for hidden words in a person's name.
However, the most exciting feature about Raceching, is that it centres on horse racing and betting. Race shows his readers how to turn their daily morning newspaper racing page into an exciting new word/anagram game that can pick winners and make profit. I Ching hexagrams are constructed from the name/ time of a horse race by a simple process of word and letter counting. We look for a word or words in the name of the horse - matching it with the Raceching book's blueprint of the winner. There are five logical rules race has invented to make this one of the most exciting word games since the birth of the crossword Raceching, canssomething that is similar to what housewives do on big race days, i.e. looking for personalised word names on a race card that means something to them and their intuition, such as the name of a pet or relative's nickname. It all sounds crazy to the form study boys who have backed the favourite until the thing wins at 33/1- and nobody laughs anymore.
Raceching will appeal to not only followers of I Ching, but also anyone who loves horse racing and gaming in general. It will also appeal to people who love making words, anagrams and letter puzzles. It is a dual purpose I Ching book in one.
Raceching the author is an Englishman with an outstanding knowledge of I Ching. He has based his book around the UK racing scene, but it is easily adapted to fit world markets. This book is the first of its kind, entirely innovative and new in relation to other I Ching publications. When Race says the future is an anagram.... he means it
