Just wondering if anyone has some recommendations. I've recently read "Positively Fifth Street", which was great, "Bringing Down the House" which also was awesome and "The Odds" which wasn't bad. I'm mainly interested in non-fiction and am looking forward to Nolan Dalla's book on Stu Ungar. Any other suggestions?

LOL Join the club!

I enjoyed '24/7' by someone Martinez, pretty good read. If you are looking for poker/vegas books, The Big Deal by Anthony Holden is a must read.

Great books

Great books

I've read all of those books listed above. The only other ones that I could add would be "Dice Angel" by Brian Rouff or "Poker Nation" by Andy Bellin.

I wrote Mr. Bellin an email after reading his book. He or someone that answers his email wrote me back.


Hope you're all enjoying the draft.

Go Pack.

dont have "Bringing Down the House" which was great bestseller but it pretends to be real .. it has so many obvious lies, tall tales, etc...that i know it is fiction.. maybe best described as based on a true story

I'd have the same question, only I'm more interested in those with a sports betting angle... Those seem to be few and far between(?)... I've read "The Odds".

Are any of those mentioned focused on sports betting?

(I read Bringing Down the house as well.)
