  • A Season in the Abyss: Sports Gambling vs. The NFL’s Integrity

    01
    Football and gambling. The two activities are inseparable. Yet the National Football League states it does not want fans to bet on its games. The league even fought against the state of New Jersey to keep sports gambling illegal.

    If wagering threatens the league’s integrity as it claims, then why does the NFL openly embrace the gambling taking place in fantasy football, and why does it allow teams to license their logos to state lotteries? Is the league clandestinely working with legal and illegal bookies? Are its athletes gambling as well? Why are referees constantly making calls that seem to benefit Las Vegas? And what role do the NFL’s broadcast partners play in all of this?

    Controversial author Brian Tuohy spent the 2014 NFL season doing exactly what it is the league doesn’t want its fans doing, gambling on its sport in all its forms, to learn the true relationship between the NFL and gambling. No football fan — no American — should watch another game without realizing the impact these two entities have upon each other.

  • Bet Smart: The Kelly System for Gambling and Investing

    02
    In 1956, a physicist named John Kelly working at Bell Labs published a
    paper titled A New Interpretation of Information Rate. In the paper
    he draws an analogy between the outcomes of a gambling game and the
    transmission of symbols over a communications channel. For a positive
    expectation game, Kelly showed that a betting system based on a fixed
    fraction of the bankroll can make the bankroll grow at an exponential
    rate in the long run. The exponential growth rate in this case is
    directly analogous to the rate of information transmission through a
    communications channel.

    This book examines the Kelly system in detail. Applications of the
    Kelly system in both gambling and investing are considered. Python
    code for calculating the Kelly fractions for both a single stock
    investment and an investment in two stocks simultaneously is
    included.

    Included is an introductory review chapter on the probability theory
    needed to analyze gambling systems in general. There is also a chapter
    on some of the more commonly used gambling systems such as the
    Martingale system.

    This book will be useful for anyone interested in a good mathematical
    introduction to gambling systems in general, and the Kelly system in
    particular.

  • Good Teams Win, Great Teams Cover: An Underdog’s Tale of Life, Gambling and Sharp Sports Betting

    02

    I will teach you how to win more bets, but first a story…

    I was hungover. I had spent the previous night in an Italian bar trying to convince naïve girls that I was Jason Sehorn of the New York Giants. This was my move. It wasn’t particularly effective, but it was the best I had…

    The next morning I found myself on a train going from Bologna to Rome. I was young, and this would be my first visit to the ancient city.

    As luck would have it, I was seated next to Evelyn O’Reilly. Evelyn was a stunning foreign exchange student from Dublin, and we hit if off.

    We hit if off so well that when she got to her stop in Florence she invited me to join her for the weekend. In a moment of sheer madness, I politely declined.

    I had the next few hours to contemplate what had just happened, and I became paralyzed by my own stupidity. What the hell was wrong with me? I had an amazing opportunity, but I was too damn dumb to realize it. This exquisite creature exited my life forever, only to revisit every now and again as a memory…

    This same scenario plays out EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND of the football season.

    Beautiful opportunities are out there, but most bettors can’t see them. They aren’t trained on what to look for, and when they finally do discover a gem, they are too scared to act.

    Taking advantage of situational opportunities is what separates the sharps from the stiffs.

    “Good Teams Win, Great Teams Cover” is a collection of betting advice that WILL make you a sharper sports bettor.

    My strategy of situational betting in college and pro football is a time-tested method for beating the sportsbook. I highlight over twenty situational opportunities where the bettor will gain an advantage over the house.

    Included are detailed examples from past football seasons which will allow the reader to gain a firm understanding of the concepts that can make your betting very profitable.

    I also mix in candid and embarrassing personal stories that makes this a highly entertaining read while providing valuable insight that will educate all levels of degenerate gamblers.

    If you are sick of praying for backdoor covers, if countless bad beats have made your betting life miserable, if you are reloading your gambling account way too often – then this book is for you.

  • How to Win at Gambling: Easiest Methods for Recreational Gamblers

    01
    If you want to become a full-time professional gambler it takes a lot of time, knowledge, and practice to ensure that you have an advantage over the casino. However, if you are just a recreational gambler looking for the best ways to win money in a casino, this is the book for you. I’ve made the methods as simplistic as possible.

    • The goal of this book is to show gamblers how to play at “even odds” without having to make many changes. A gambler can’t ask for more than that without spending a great deal of time studying and practicing the games. It does help if you have a basic understanding of blackjack and the different poker hands before you read this book.

    This book goes beyond the simple bets that one needs to make in order to have a realistic chance of going home a winner. There are many other aspects to gambling that can’t be ignored if you want to be successful. Such as:

    • Money Management
    • Bankroll
    • Self-Discipline
    • Gambling Sessions
    • Gambling Without the Guilt
    • Emotional Control

    These are all components of becoming a gambler that has a realistic chance of winning when you gamble. There are some people that just want to go to the casino to have a good time and they don’t care if they lose money. In fact, most of them expect to lose. That is certainly acceptable if that is what you choose to do, but hopefully this book will show you that with a few simple changes you can increase your chance of success greatly.

    I’m not going to make silly promises of you winning thousands of dollars, but why should you let the casino have a 10-15% advantage over you when there are ways to reduce that to close to 0%?

  • Please Gamble Irresponsibly: The rise, fall and rise of sports gambling in Australia

    Australians lose more money gambling than any other country. But how did we get here? In his inimitable, hilarious style, sports historian Titus O’Reily charts the rise, fall and rise of sport gambling in Australia.

    We’ll gamble on anything, from two flies crawling up a wall to less important things like federal elections. And thanks to the internet, phones and gambling-tax loving governments, these days Australians can indulge their love of a punt no matter what they’re doing. Aussies could be at the birth of a child or performing open-heart surgery and still put a bet on.

    It wasn’t always this easy. Once, you could only gamble on sport illegally. Which, it turns out, was actually also pretty easy. But over the last thirty years gambling on sport has been legalised, first slowly and then very quickly. Now almost every ad on TV is about sport betting, and even some of the players are getting in on the wagering.

    Please, Gamble Irresponsibly traces the history of gambling in Australia from horseracing in the colonial era, through the rise of SP bookies and organised crime, to the commercialisation of the industry and its impact on communities and the integrity of sport. With billions of dollars involved, what are the odds of putting the genie back in the bottle?

  • Posthuman Gaming: Avatars, Gamers, and Entangled Subjectivities (Routledge Advances in Game Studies)

    Posthuman Gaming: Avatars, Gamers, and Entangled Subjectivities explores the relationship between avatar and gamer in the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game World of Warcraft, to examine notions of entangled subjectivity, affects, and embodiments – what it means and how it feels to be posthuman.

    With a focus on posthuman subjectivity, Wilde considers how we can begin to articulate ourselves when the boundary between self and other is unclear. Drawing on fieldnotes of her own gameplay experiences, the author analyses how subjectivity is formed in ways that defy a single individual notion of “self”, and explores how different practices, feelings, and societal understandings can disrupt strict binaries and emphasise our posthumanism. She interrogates if one can speak of an “I” in the face of posthuman multiplicity, before exploring different analytical themes, beginning with how acting theories might be posthumanised and articulate the relationship between avatar and gamer. She then defines posthuman empathy and explains how this is experienced in gaming, before addressing the need to account for boredom, the complexity of nostalgia, and ways death and loss are experienced through gaming.

    This volume will appeal to a broad audience and is particularly relevant to scholars and students of cultural studies, media studies, humanities, and game studies.

  • The Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Gambling

    Gambling disorder is a behavioural addiction that represents the clinical extreme of a spectrum of gambling-related harm. What insights can neuroscientific and neuropsychological methods provide to help understand this condition and improve existing programs for treatment and prevention?

    This volume describes recent research using an array of contemporary tools including structural and functional brain imaging, and neurocognitive assessment. These analyses consider brain activity and psychological functioning in people with gambling disorder under resting conditions, due to tasks of reward processing and inhibitory control, and as a function of important sources of individual differences including depression and impulsivity. This volume also synthesizes contemporary research using animal models to examine decision-making under uncertainty from a behavioural neuroscience perspective, as well as synthesizing evidence from pharmacological treatments for gambling disorders. These findings complement research to understand substance use disorders and other emerging forms of behavioural addiction. This volume contains contributions from many of the leading research groups in this exciting field.

    The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of International Gambling Studies.
