The Theory of Poker: A Professional Poker Player Teaches You How To Think Like One
The Theory of Poker by David Sklansky discusses theories and concepts applicable to nearly every variation of the game, including five-card draw (high), seven-card stud, hold em, lowball draw, and razz (seven-card lowball stud). This book introduces you to the Fundamental Theorem of Poker, its implications, and how it should affect your play. Other chapters discuss the value of deception, bluffing, raising, the slow-play, the value of position, psychology, heads-up play, game theory, implied odds, the free card, and semibluffing.Many of todays top poker players will tell you that this is the book that really made a difference in their play. That is, these are the ideas that separate the experts from the typical players. Those who read and study this book will literally leave behind those who dont, and most serious players wear the covers off their copies. This is the best book ever written on poker.

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

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.

The Perfect Bet: Taking the Luck out of Gambling
Gamblers have been trying to figure out how to game the system since our ancestors first made wagers over dice fashioned from knucklebones: in revolutionary Paris, the ‘martingale’ strategy was rumoured to lead to foolproof success at roulette ; today, professional gamblers are using cutting-edge techniques to tilt the odds in their favour. Science is giving us the competitive edge over opponents, casinos and bookmakers. But is there such a thing as a perfect bet?
The Perfect Bet looks beyond probability and statistics to examine how wagers have inspired a plethora of new disciplines – spanning chaos theory, machine learning and game theory – which are not just revolutionising gambling, but changing our fundamental notions about chance, randomness and luck.
Explaining why poker is gaming’s last bastion of human superiority over AI, how methods originally developed for the US nuclear programme are helping pundits predict sports results and why a new breed of algorithms are losing banks millions, The Perfect Bet has the inside track on any wager you’d care to place.

Big Deal: One Year as a Professional Poker Player
BIG DEAL is the mesmerising story of a year spent by bestselling biographer Anthony Holden in the tough world of the professional poker player. He spent days and nights in the poker paradise of Las Vegas, in Malta and Morocco, even shipboard, mingling with the legendary greats, sharpening his game, perfecting his repartee, and learning a great deal about himself in the process.
Poker, Holden would insist, is not gambling. Like chess it is a paradigm of life at its most intense, a gladiatorial contest that brings out the best as well as the worst in people. Its heroes, its eccentrics and is comedians stalk the pages of this remarkable book, along with all the hair-raising, nail-biting excitement of the games themselves.
A classic of the genre, BIG DEAL is here reissued with a new introduction by the author.

The Royal Game: A Chess Story
‘Perhaps the best chess story ever written, perhaps the best about any game’ Economist
On the deck of a transatlantic ocean liner, a crowd of passengers gathers to watch reigning chess world champion Mirko Czentovic take on a series of amateur challengers. The haughty grandmaster dispatches all of his opponents with ease, until one Dr B steps forward from the crowd―a passionate lover of the royal game who still bears the mental scars of imprisonment by the Nazis in his native Austria. The enigmatic genius reluctantly agrees to challenge Czentovic, but at what cost to his sanity?
Written during the Second World War, The Royal Game was the great Stefan Zweig’s final work―a searing, suspenseful tale of psychological torment and the price of obsession.

HOW TO WIN 90% OF YOUR HORSE RACING BETS: A complete and well-proven horse race betting system
Do race horses get headaches or suffer off days?They probably do, considering that only 20% of favourites win. Which, of course, makes “form” a bit of a joke. Result statistics, however, don’t lie and a horse race betting system based on a huge results study thus makes a lot of sense! Check out this explanatory video: https://bit.ly/123bookvids
HOW TO WIN 90% OF YOUR HORSE RACING BETS is a complete and well-proven horse race betting system for profit-driven gamblers, based on simple statistical logic derived from a horse racing punter study that involved 660 races, 7 363 horses and at an average of 11 horses per race.
When adhering strictly to five basic principles in the selection of ideal races and horses, punters should profit from nine out of every 10 races winning bets are placed on.
The system was scientifically developed from horse racing statistics and offers regular punters a great opportunity for honing their profit-making skills in horse race betting.
Although the system is easy to understand, a lot of work had gone into the processing of the statistics it is based upon. The book is therefore more than fairly priced.

Are you ready for the challenge?
Not for the faint-hearted. The puzzles use the same 9×9 grid as a regular Su Doku, but have an extra mathematical element that multiplies the challenge. The aim is not only to complete every row, column and cube so that it contains the digits 1 to 9, but also to make sure that the outlined sections, called cages, add up to the number given in each cage.
Warning: Not suitable for amateur puzzlers!
