Book excerpt: The first book ever to examine Indian gaming myths on a continental scale, "Gambler Way" reveals that not only was gamblinguin practice as well as in mythucommon to nearly all of the indigenous peoples of North America, but also that the games and stories were universally part of the sacred lore and rituals of the tribes. Every area from the subarctic to the Southwest and parts of Mexico is covered. Games and their sometimes lethal stakes are described in detail, along with their place in the sacred world-view of each people. The result is a fascinating and unique look at the way humans strive to recognize a link between divine intent and chance. Based on massive research in historical and archaeological records, "Gambler Way" is not only a fascinating contribution to the study of ancient Native American culture, but it also provides valuable context for the current controversies surrounding Indian-run casinos.

Book excerpt: Make no mistake about it. Overpowering a gambling addiction is hard work. If it were as easy as simply walking away from the gambling casino, slots, sports betting, track or card games, there'd be a lot fewer problem and driven gamblers in the U.S. - and across the world, for that matter. You've likely tried cutting back or even quitting already, with predictable consequences. In no time at all - occasionally just hours - you're right back at it. So, what does it truly take to crush your gambling addiction? It's rather simple, truly, once you get to the center of what it takes to stop a gambling addiction. The problem or compulsive gambler 1st has to authentically wish to quit gambling. That's simpler said than done. A lot of problem gamblers go for years without arriving at that realization.When and if they do, it's frequently only a fleeting desire and not commanding enough for them to take action. That's the 2nd basic requirement to quitting gambling: you have to go through the hard work it will take to defeat your addiction. Oh, the rationalizations quickly issue forth here.
