For the math nerds, gotta shout out The Theory of Gambling and Statistical Logic by Richard A. Epstein
. Yeah, it’s a bit of a brain workout 
, but if you wanna really get into the nitty-gritty of probabilities and game theory, it’s pure gold 
. It showed me why some games are legit worth grinding, while others are just bankroll killers

These are great! I’m adding them to my list. What about books that help with managing mindset? I feel like I tilt way too much after a losing streak
-
For mindset, check out "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler. Yeah, it’s about poker, but the mental strategies apply to any kind of gambling. Staying cool, knowing when to walk away—it’s all there

This is an amazing mix of suggestions—thanks, everyone! I’ll start with Mezrich’s book and then dive into the rest. Let’s see if any of these give me an edge or at least help me stay sane on bad runs

I love poker stories, makes me feel like I'm at the table with them
, check out Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson 
. It’s not about strategies or winning 
, but it nails the chaos and surreal side of gambling culture perfectly 🤪
