There is this guy named Minnesotafats that I read on sports forums that is must read. Might be the smartest poster on these forums. There was a poster many years ago named Rogue Scholar that was an amazing writer. His posts made everyone else's look like an uneducated idiot.
Thanks for the list! I will definitely check some of them out
Aside from strategy books, The Biggest Game in Town by Al Alvarez is a fun read about the high stakes poker scene in the early 80s. The Odds by Chad Millman is an interesting character study of 3 guys trying to make it in high stakes sports betting. Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich is a quick page turner, but not as engrossing as the Alvarez book. I thought Lay the Favorite sucked; I'd avoid that one.

I looked at the list and was reminded about The Professor, The Banker, and The Suicide King. It's about the ultra high stakes poker games between financier Andy Beal and a "corporation" of pro poker players. Great book... Ted Forrest comes off like a degen legend in that one.i have not read any gambling books, but here's a list i found of the top 20 gambling books apparently

A few of the strategy books on the list are imo worth reading if you're into that sort of thing. I can vouch for the Theory of Poker and The Logic of Sports Betting.

This is a great book!!!"How to Win Friends and Influence People" Dale Carnegie
It's not sports but it can help you deal with your local if there's a problem with a debt.

Not a gambling book per se, but the greatest book I've ever read. The ONLY book I've actually laughed put loud whilst reading.
Bonus- if you're familiar w New Orleans culture, this will have you in tears laughing.

If you're looking for general books, I recently read "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig, a great mystery with elements of travel and self-discovery.
Thats probably why their books are more about avoiding their mistakes than following their methods.
I don't think this is true. Look at Jean Scott. Successful gambler who wrote I believe multiple books
