My 'love' for gambling in general, has started from movies(I'll mention Martin Scorsese's Casino and John Dahl's Rounders), after I started taking the gambling more seriously- I looked into different books(especially for poker, I've read tons that are not just to help improve your game/ build a foundation* I'll mention some authors as the list of books might be too long lol- David Sklansky, Doyle Brunson, Dan Harrington- this guys are legends that did so much for the game and IMO even now their books are still good learning material) and even went a bit more 'extreme' and started following different streamers on Twitch/ YouTube, looking for tutorials, reading articles etc...

I wonder what other community members follow/ read/ watch and is there something that helped you a lot to win at any casino game?

No need to mention the books, movies or YouTube materials I've come across because the list might take forever.

With the exception of poker and blackjack material, I have to say that nothing has or will help when it comes to the other casino games where the player will lose on the long run no matter what.
And as it's been already said here, only by setting an affordable amount to lose paying for some fun, a player could leave the casino somewhat satisfied.

You can google a blackjack chart with a google search.

Make sure you get the chart for the correct number of decks.

Honestly, watching high stakes vloggers on YouTube helped me way more than old books. People like Brad Owen or Ethan (Rampage) are great because they actually break down their live thinking process during hands. Plus it's way more entertaining than reading a 400-page textbook from the 90s lol.

Another good movie that is not so widely known like other gambling movies is "shade". I highly recommend it for entertainment or to learn.

I think the most useful book for a gambler is "The Mental Game of Poker" by Jared Tendler. As for the most useful community, it is definitely CardsChat :)
