Title: Gambling for a Living: How to Make $100,000 a Year by Mason Mulmuth, David Sklansky, David Sklansky, Mason Malmuth, Paula Cizmar ISBN: 1-880685-16-7 Publisher: Two Plus Two Publishing LLC Pub. Date: May, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |

Summary: Not nearly as good as their other titles
Comment: I have purchased two other Mulmuth and Sklansky books this year, Advanced Hold Em, and Tournament Strategies for Hold Em, and they were both excellent books. This book...not so much.
It's just offers basic strategy advice for a number of games, most of which I don't care about, and for none of them does it offer anything close to the understanding you would get from a dedicated book (or even series of essays) about that particular vice.
I was really hoping to get information on HOW TO MAKE A LIVING, as opposed to how to gamble at different games. I know how to gamble. I needed to know more about managing bank rolls, travel, limits to play, when to give up, etc...

Summary: Interesting but useles for the professional gambler
Comment: This work would be considered good if Malmuth and Sklansky had not written it. I think this is by far the most disappointing work that Sklansky and Malmuth have produced.
They are the standard by which gaming books are written and for them to produced this weak mathematical work is a travsitiy.

Summary: For us aspiring pros, here's some guidance!
Comment: An excellent review of the games that are beatable and the math that supports these conclusions. They differentiate between a "gambler" and an "investor". For example, the skilled card counter in blackjack can have the same edge over the casino as the house has over the baccarat player. In spite of the subtitle, I'm not sure how realistic the possibility of consistently winning $100K a year is. Mastering one discipline is hard enough. The authors appear to have made a "killing" in many areas from horse racing to sports betting. For blackjack players, the articles on when to quit and toking are worth the price of the book.
