Book excerpt: Introduction Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing from something. Gambling is something that happens all the time, but we don't think about it that way. We believe we are making choices rather than gambling — and we do not consider ourselves to be taking risks. We, on the other hand, are. Whether we are placing a “sure bet,” in which case we think the consequences of our choices are more likely than not to be (net) positive, taking both the upside and downside into consideration — particularly when compared to the alternatives — is critical. The common perception of people who gamble is that they are reckless or impoverished souls looking to earn a few more dollars; however, this is a narrowminded conclusion, and savvy punters demonstrate that this is not the case. According to objective observation, a significant percentage of intelligent and successful individuals also happen to be avid gamblers, even among the most ardent of enthusiasts. People with plenty of money and a luxurious lifestyle may be seen visiting casinos, sports betting facilities, and even participating in online games of chance to pass the time when they have nothing else to do in their free time, which is common in real life. That is diametrically opposed to the widely held notion that only those in danger of social exclusion are eager to win anything by putting their last pennies into casinos or sports betting. In recent years, I have begun to notice that even people who are wealthy, famous, and well-known often visit casinos, play poker, or place bets on sporting events. There are also those heartbreaking stories of individuals who have lost everything they own at a casino, which is made more heartbreaking by the fact that they are real. Nonetheless, the moment has come to begin overcoming the common stigma and recognizing the fact that even intelligent individuals may be a part of the gaming world. Here in this eBook, you will get a concise account of gambling

Book excerpt: What is it like to work inside a casino on the floor at one of the table games? Here is a brief view to give the run of the mill person a small glimpse of what really goes on at the table games from a floor person perspective. Greed, lust, deception, and personal hygiene (or not) play a major role when you throw the glitz and glamour of the gambling scene. When is enough, enough; what does money (around you all the time) lead the everyday person to do or not to do? How does the casino life effect someone who comes from a rural country family life setting? Well, venture inside and see what and how life can change in a blink of an eye and how it can change a persons personality not to mention the outcome of their life. Everything in life is said to be a crap shoot, well the dice aren’t always going to be on the up and up

Book excerpt: It Was Never A Gamble is a true-life story of an early 1900's gambler and hustler. It chronicles the life of Jimmy James. Born in 1900 and leaving home at the age of 14, he made a living by taking advantage of other's greed. He learned early that to get ahead he might have to bend a few rules. But, in a time when the rules were few and the enforcement was often left to one's own conscious, there could be big rewards for the person with the intestinal fortitude to bend the rules. From the worn down storefront street games to the most luxurious hotels and clubs of the times, Jimmy James was able to operate freely and feel at home. He was able to mingle with the common street grifters and rub shoulders with some of the most influential people of the times as he made his way across the country. This is a story of one man's life journey through many adventures, twists and turns, ups and downs. Cards, dice, roulette, no game was safe; no game was ever a gamble. This is the story of Jimmy James, hustler and gambler.

Book excerpt: Gambling is a fascinating subject which for many centuries has attracted public interest. Yet, despite its ubiquity, gambling (or gaming) leads a marginal existence within the boundaries of scholarly research. Providing a longue duree survey, this volume promotes a historical understanding of the subject enriched with a diverse academic approach that draws upon sociology, economics and psychology. Each chapter in the collection is the work of a renowned scholar with a long standing interest in gambling research. The contributions offer historical analyses of the medieval origins of the 'Gambler State' and of mathematical risk calculation. They cast light on the roles of different stakeholders in gambling including the playing public, business, and the state. They provide a controversial discussion of the alleged 'pathological' nature of chance games and the reasons for either regulating or freeing them from state control. Last but not least, two authors deal with country-by-country specifics in gaming cultures and gambling markets. Taken as a whole, the chapters in this volume chart the development of European gambling culture from the medieval to modern times. In so doing it provides essential context for both historical and current debates about the nature of gambling and lotteries, addiction to gambling, poverty and social degradation on the fringes of the welfare state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of gambling, particularly sports gambling, and how it has thrived in American culture. According to Davies and Abram, the culture of betting results from two complementary influences in American society: risk-taking and speculation. This is the first effort by academic writers to describe and interpret the history of sports wagering in the United States. Although many books have been written about 3how to bet and win, 4 Betting the Line presents a serious history of this popular activity in Colonial and Civil War eras to today, from early betting on horse racing and baseball to the modern venues of basketball and football. By considering topics as diverse as the business of a bookie, the expansion of legalized gambling, and the increase in popularity of televised sports, the authors offer readers an insightful look into a practice that has become commonplace in American popular culture. In a mere seventy years, the number of states where gambling is legal jumped from one to forty-eight. Yet Nevada remains the only state where sports betting is legal. This book challenges many long-standing myths and stereotypes that revolve around the enterprise, arguing that sports gambling is reflective of the American free enterprise culture.
