Publisher's Synopsis
Becoming a Winning Gambler takes an honest look at which betting opportunities offer the gambler a chance to come out ahead and which games should be avoided. Written by longtime Sports Gambling Guide for About.com, Allen Moody, the book covers blackjack, poker, horse racing, money management, and there is special emphasis on sports betting, with plenty of new ideas and a refinement of some of Moody's top articles for the About site. For money management, you will learn about several of the most popular betting strategies, such as Martingale and Kelly Criterion, the pros and cons of each, along with a new money management theory. You will learn some of the easiest card-counting techniques devised, along with basic strategy and proper betting strategies for blackjack. Poker players and horse players will find tips and pointers for those games, while sports bettors will enjoy chapters on baseball, the NBA, NFL, college football, and college basketball. Becoming a Winning Gambler is the definitive work so far from one of the most knowledgeable gambling writers today.
