I'm interested in learning more about the fine art of becoming a better player of various games of chance (in particular, those that are popular in Las Vegas), and developing a better edge in the management of my own personal portfolio trading strategies.
I believe that developing skills in the former will aide me in my goals for the latter.
And so, I've been slowly amassing a small library of books on various topics related to gambling skills, and some directly (or indirectly) related to the mathematics of such games.
