Seabiscuit: Three Men and a Racehorse
From the author of Unbroken – a major motion picture releasing in 2015 – this is the bestselling true story of three men and their dreams for a racehorse, Seabiscuit.
In 1938 one figure received more press coverage than Mussolini, Hitler or Roosevelt. He was a cultural icon and a world-class athlete – and an undersized, crooked-legged racehorse by the name of Seabiscuit.
Misunderstood and mishandled, Seabiscuit had spent seasons floundering in the lowest ranks of racing until a chance meeting of three men. Together, they created a champion. This is a story which topped the bestseller charts for over two years; a riveting tale of grit, grace, luck and an underdog’s stubborn determination to win against all odds.
Made into a major motion picture starring Toby Maguire and Jeff Daniels.

Craps: From Beginner to Expert, Learn ‘How to Play Craps’ and the Secret Craps Strategy to Win at the Casino – ( Craps Gambling + Craps Game )
NEW Second Edition, Published September 14, 2016 The craps table is often the most prominent installment in the casino. It’s big, it’s fun, and the players are generally pretty loud as they cheer with excitement. Usually manned by four casino staff members – known as the “boxman,” the “stickman,” and two “dealers” – a craps table is busy as it hosts a swarm of simultaneous activity. Although it’s clear that the craps table is an enticing place to be, the actual layout of the available bets and betting combinations on the table may alarm newbies with its apparent complexity. Craps has the largest variety of betting options among all other casino games. And since craps also hosts the largest number of betting decisions per hour, the craps table is usually stocked with the largest bankroll you’ll find in the casino. The good news is this: Even if the craps table looks intimidating, the game is, in reality, actually quite simple, and this book is going to explain everything you need to know in an easy-to-understand way. In fact, if you stick to specific types of bets in craps while avoiding the others, then you’ll end up with the best gambling odds available in the entire casino. The important thing to remember is that the craps table is swarming with bad betting options, so it’s critical that you know what to play and when. This book provides a step-by-step breakdown of the game, including the basic rules and playing sequence, so that newcomers such as yourself will feel completely at home at the craps table. You’ll learn the meaning of all the fancy craps terminology, you’ll get to know the best bets, and you’ll learn lots of other craps strategies along the way.Read more

Tales from the Pit: Casino Table Games Managers in Their Own Words: 1 (Gambling Studies Series)
Dealing in a casino presents challenges and rewards not seen in many workplaces. With hundreds of thousands of dollars at stake every minute, table games pits are high-stress workplaces. Managing a workforce of dealers and attending to the needs of players brings stresses of its own. In 2015, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’s Center for Gaming Research received a grant from the UNLV University Libraries Advisory Board that enabled it to undertake an oral history project intended to capture the stories of table games managers, including both those currently working in the field and those who have retired. Drawn from these interviews, Tales from the Pit provides an overview of how the interviewees felt about a variety of topics, ranging from their experiences breaking in as new dealers to their transitions to management and the changes the industry has seen over their careers. The current and former managers speak candidly about the owners, bosses, dealers, and players who made each day challenging. This book illuminates the past several decades of casino history through the words of those who lived and made it.Read more

Winning It Back: The Autobiography of Britain’s Biggest Gambler
The imposing presence of Gary Wiltshire has long been one of the familiar and colourful sights on the racecourses and dog tracks of Britain. Biggest of the big gamblers, Gary has been punter, racecourse bookmaker, and in recent years television pundit, heading BBC coverage of the betting ring. But there are two sides to Gary Wiltshire. One shows the genial, wise-cracking personality revelling in every angle of the betting business, the poor boy made good, with racehorses running in his colours and a personalised number-plate on his Mercedes. The other shows his obsessive punting bringing him to what he unflinchingly calls ‘rock bottom’. The story tells how from the age of five he could calculate the return on a bet; how he would serve the Kray twins at his father’s flower stall in Leather Lane; how he famously lost over £1 million on the day of Frankie Dettori’s Magnificent Seven at Ascot and then sold all he had so that he could pay off every penny he owed, and started again. It is a remarkable rollercoaster ride of good and bad fortune, by turns hilarious and heart-rending.Read more

The Georgian Art of Gambling
The Georgian Art of Gambling takes the reader on a miscellaneous tour through high and low society to reveal all aspects of gambling in the Georgian era. Descriptions of the most fashionable card and dice games of the day are interspersed with snippets of contemporary anti-gambling pamphlets, descriptions of the most famous (and degenerate) gambling houses, and accounts of the ruination of many high-profile aristocrats. The Georgian Art of Gambling covers wagering on sports such as cockfighting, bull baiting, boxing and cricket as well as the more sedentary pleasures of the card table. Both the civilised (card games portrayed in the novels of Jane Austen) and the debauched (card sharps and loaded dice) are explored, offering the reader a fascinating glimpse into the extent of gambling in Georgian Britain.Read more

Winning Against the Odds: My Life in Gambling and Politics
Winning Against the Odds tells the captivating story of one of England’s most fascinating and eccentric men.Stuart Wheeler went to Eton and Oxford. He was an officer in the Welsh Guards, a barrister, an investment banker and a major donor to the Conservative Party. You might think that he has led a life of impeccably conformist upper-class respectability. You’d be wrong.
For Wheeler is also an illegitimate child adopted at the age of two, a maverick businessman who made his fortune on the back of `the most brilliant idea that anyone had had of his generation’ and a devoted gambler who has been thrown out of more than one Las Vegas casino.
He played cards with Lord Lucan two nights before his infamous disappearance, effectively invented spread-betting with the creation in 1974 of IG Index and gave William Hague’s Conservatives GBP5 million (still the biggest political donation in British history) before being expelled from the Tories, joining UKIP and becoming a key figure in Vote Leave during the Brexit referendum campaign.
Forthright, principled and always entertaining, Winning against the Odds is a story of bets won and lost, of outrageous personalities and dramatic events, and of a singular mind that engages with the world around it in a completely unique and compelling way.

Harrington on Cash Games: How to Win at No-Limit Hold’em Money Games: v. 1

If you play no-limit hold em cash games, you need to read this book.
Dan Harrington won the gold bracelet and the World Champion title at the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Hold em Championship at the 1995 World Series of Poker. And he was the only player to make the final table in 2003 (field of 839) and 2004 (field of 2,576) considered by cognoscenti to be the greatest accomplishment in WSOP history.

Follow Your Leader: The memoir of a Newmarket trainer
The fifty-year career of Gavin Pritchard-Gordon in Newmarket, the Headquarters of British Racing, proved to be as exciting a ride as those provided by his many winning horses. This caught the author as much by surprise as anyone else. The opportunity to train racehorses was offered to Pritchard-Gordon somewhat out of the blue by the legendary trainer Harvey Leader.
Pritchard-Gordon grabbed at the chance to follow in Mr Leader’s footsteps. He never looked back as a life in Racing took him to many a Winners’ Enclosure and the country’s grandest houses, all the while having great fun with the top names of Racing, past and present.Foreword by Brough Scott
“A stylish homage to Newmarket this memoir is deliciously indiscreet, full of humorous anecdotes that will make the reader laugh out loud. It cleverly exposes some of racing’s shibboleths while retaining the author’s innate decency and humanity. A must read for the racing aficionado.”
Author and journalist Colin Mackenzie.About the author:
Racing has been Gavin Pritchard-Gordon’s life, ever since he first came to Newmarket in 1966 to be a pupil trainer with the greatly respected Harvey Leader – one of the very few people to have trained both a Classic and a Grand National winner. He spent similar spells as Assistant to Peter Walwyn in Lambourn, and Stuart Murless, on the Curragh, before returning to Newmarket, and taking over the trainer’s license from Harvey Leader, at Shalfleet, in 1972.
The best horses Pritchard-Gordon trained on the Flat were Group 1 winners Noalcoholic, Ardoon and Record Run – but one of his most exciting moments came when King Pele, ridden by the intrepid David Nicholson, triumphed in the Gloucester Hurdle (now the Sun Alliance) at the Cheltenham Festival in 1973.
Pritchard-Gordon stopped training in 1995, spending a year at BHB in Portman Square before becoming Chief Executive of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association In Newmarket. He held that position for fourteen years, prior to being appointed Executive Chairman of British Bloodstock Marketing, and then retiring in 2010. Since then Pritchard-Gordon has remained closely involved with all aspects of the Racing and Breeding Industry worldwide.Read more

Better Betting with a Decent Feller: A Social History of Bookmaking
Today, branches of chains such as William Hill and Ladbrokes are familiar sights in high streets across Britain, and betting takes place on all sorts of events – from horse-racing to general elections, from football-match results to the likelihood of snow falling on Christmas Day. Yet until 1961 street bookmakers were illegal, and old prejudices are slow to fade away. A stigma is still attached to bookmaking, and for many people bookmakers remain a disreputable and shady lot. This book sets out to examine why this is the case. Social historian Carl Chinn was himself a bookmaker, like his father and grandfather before him, and therefore brings his own unique perspective to this lively and highly readable account of the profession’s history, from its origins among the sharpsters who hoodwinked punters at racecourses, to the illegal street bookies who offered the working class a tantalising escape from poverty, to the growth of leisure empires such as Coral and William Hill post-legalisation, to gambling on the internet and betting on ‘virtual’ horse races.Read more

Victor Chandler: Put Your Life On It
After the sell-out success of the hardback edition, this book is now available in paperback where Victor Chandler, the most recognisable face in bookmaking, tells his remarkable life story in ‘Put Your Life On It: Staying At The Top in the Cut-throat World of Gambling.’
In this new authorised biography written by Jamie Reid, Chandler will reveal how gambling was in his blood from birth. Discover how his grandfather dealt with Darby Sabini’s Italian mob, Alfie Solomons and the real Peaky Blinders. How his father, Victor senior, built up the firm only for illness to force ‘Young Victor’ into the fray at the age of 23 – the start of a high life and fast times.
To begin with, he found the going tough. He almost accepted an offer to sell up from Playboy Bookmakers. But fortunately he stuck with it just in time to enjoy his first profitable Royal Ascot and from then on there was no going back.
In the face of the UK recession in the 1990s he went out to the Far East and began duelling audaciously with colossal Asian punters while dodging the attentions of the Triads in Hong Kong and Macau. Then at the end of the decade he sparked a revolution by moving his entire business offshore to Gibraltar; he is often credited with being the first to take gambling online.
Victor shares his often hilarious memories of 40 years of a high-octane racing and bookmaking life, populated by a huge cast of colourful characters including the artist Lucian Freud, who painted ‘VC’ as well as betting with him.
