Dare to drastically change your attitude, polish the concepts and become a challenging competitor in the sphere of online gambling.
Alligator Blood: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of the High-rolling Whiz-kid who Controlled Online Poker’s Billions by James Leighton
The first book of the list is defined by the name of another poker term, which defines an individual who dares as the main character of the story. It is worth stating that Leighton’s hero, Daniel Tzvetkoff, acts as a guide for the readers and drives them through the vicious and non-transparent sphere of poker rooms. His route from a teenager working for Pizza Hut in Brisbane to inventing a novel approach to the Payment Card Industry to touching on the key points is anything but traditional.
His idea was interesting to numerous online poker businesses that wanted to take their companies to the next level, making him a man of great fortune and comfort. Those incredible earnings of $3 million a week allowed him to maintain a playboy lifestyle, filled with supercars, luxury yachts, and top nightclubs. But the flashy lights of Las Vegas quickly changed to dark alleys as Tzvetkoff was now in debts for millions to poker companies and under the heels of the FBI.
Many of the poker lessons are integrated as part of the real-life stories when he was playing in poker rooms in Las Vegas, and it provides readers an insight of the vice of corrupted online poker. Thus, Tzvetkoff’s desire to escape his situation drove him to change the online poker world, which, in the end, was put on him solely.

Routledge International Handbook of Internet Gambling by Robert T. Wood, Robert J. Williams & Jonathan Parke
This paper thus comprises a manual on Internet gambling through the joint work of three highly accredited professors. This phenomenon is primarily discussed by the authors in the context of sociology, politics, and commerce as well as the reactions related to it. Serving as the first review to guide scholars’ initiation to this relatively new phenomenon, Internet gambling, this work responds to the exponential growth of Internet gambling and its social, psychological, economic, political, and policy consequences.
Internet gambling, which was virtually unrecognized in the past has attracted a lot of attention in the current society and literature. Thus, as global jurisdictions are attempting to define Internet gambling from the commercial, regulatory, and social market perspectives, research has grown into an essential component.
The compilation of articles, ‘The Handbook of Internet Gambling,’ synthesizes this growing body of knowledge into one handbook through twenty chapters of original scholarly work from experts in commercial, clinical, political, and social contexts of Internet gambling. This handbook will potentially become the go-to source of information for sociologists, students, governmental agencies and politicians, commercial suppliers and practitioners, and healthcare professionals involved in studying the phenomenon of Internet gambling with regard to historical overview, dynamics, and worldwide effects.
Dueling with Kings: High Stakes, Killer Sharks, and the Get-Rich Promise of Daily Fantasy Sports by Daniel Barbarisi
Directing your focus to Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), this book is expected to be as useful to the readers as Barbarisi’s previous guide was to the poker players. In normal English, it sounds like a movie write up, telling of bitter competition between two major DFS players: FanDuel and DraftKings.
The characters in this text are mainly Mr Daniel and other millionaires working in this industry; the author uses his first-hand experiences to give the reader important tips. In the vein of “Bringing Down the House” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” this spellbinding and frequently comic backstage pass through the madness at the core of the fantasy sport boom is both a business and sports tale that moves quickly and makes the pages turn, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Daniel Barbarisi, who lost his job covering New York Yankees, decide to become one of them – be the ‘sharks’ of the DFS, the high level of fantasy sports betting where Fan Duel and DraftKings make tremendous amount of money from business created because congress failed to regulate this billion-dollar industry because of a legal loophole. Barbarisi finally learns that what he intended to be his fun favorite pastime was a blood sport where hardcore code-writing professionals spent hours developing multiple lineups and risking $120, 000 every day to feed on inexperienced fish.’
Barbarisi gets involved into this world; he befriends it and performs in it, fights with it and against it, while the lawmakers look at it as a potential threat to be eliminated because it creates an environment that is too boisterous, and its advertising is too provocative.
FanDuel and DraftKings combined have practically unfathomable levels of wealth, but they made questionable decisions in this power play. In “Dueling with Kings,” Barbarisi provides a detailed overview of the volatile DFS industry and its ostentatious player-entrepreneurs, tech-savvy wizards, and drink-and-drug-fueled whizzes. Can he beat them all and get to the apex?
Certainly, it is recommended to read this book for all the enthusiasts of the turbulent, yet lovable, world of DFS.
