I know there are some good gambling books available on Amazon. I have seen posts mentioning some great reading but cannot find those posts now. Any ideas?

tip: pass up the 'system' books , focus on the books about the psychology and emotional aspects of gambling. what separates the winner from the loser is staying even-keeled

"Gorilla gambling" is one of my favorites. It was written in the 80's. The basic theme was how to counter attack the casino's like they target you. Its points out that the casino's goal is to take your money. It listed tactics to counteract that. I found it in a public library. The book is dated now but good for those who visit casino's frequently.
