Book Description
In The Zen of Gambling, the star of Spike TV's Wayne Allyn Root's WinningEDGE(tm) shows readers why-be it in the casino, on the playing field, or in the boardroom-it is so vital to take risks in life. Wayne Allyn Root lives an American Dream: he makes tons of money sitting on his couch watching sports on television. In fact, as CEO of GWIN Inc., America's only publicly traded sports handicapping firm, Root has made a lot of people a lot of money and in this book he reveals the spiritual principles behind his consistently winning hand.
Says Wayne Allyn Root:
"Risk is what separates life's winners from losers-the survivors from the thrivers! Success all comes down to a series of gambles: your ability to make positive choices at pivotal moments and to thrive on challenge and high levels of stress. Sending out a resume; going on a job interview; asking that stranger on a date; the courage to pick up the phone and make a call that could change your life for the better-all of life's big decisions and defining moments require a talent for (and a willingness to) risk".
Turning popular conceptions of the chain-smoking, overweight, "down and out" Casino denizen on their head, Root shows readers how to cultivate tranquility in the face of the stressful, life-defining moments and to bring a Zen consciousness to taking risks. Presenting a unique Contrarian approach to gambling that involves never following the masses and always taking the lead in life, Wayne Allyn Root shows readers how to successfully navigate the many gambles in life.

If you can live with the self promotion of a man whose ego is as big as Donald Trumps in the first half of the book, the 2nd half of the book actually is VERY good for both causal and serious bettors on sports if you want to improve your chances of beating your bookies.
It gives the serious bettor some food for thought for the up coming football season

This is an inspirational book. There are no methods presented for picking winners. General rules abound. I'll probably read it again, for inspiration.

After reading this book and studying its principles of going against the public, I have become a more successful sports bettor. Wayne Root is correct when he talks about using public opinion to your advantage rather than being a part of the masses. I will continue to use this philosophy not just in gambling but in other avenues of life.

I have been a losing casino and sports gambler most of my life. But I never stop trying, reading, and learning new ideas, philosophies and strategies. I think that I've finally found the winning formula with "The Zen of Gambling." This is quite simply the best gambling book ever written. I have applied Mr. Root's Contrarian strategy for over a year now and have had the best results of my life!
Don't go to a casino until you read this book! November 28, 2005

What a unique book "The Zen of Gambling" is! The best part is the chapter on the psychology of casino gambling called "Viva Las Vegas." Author Root's philosophy about the ways that casino execs trap gamblers and force High Rollers into playing "dumb" is a classic. His section on poker strategy is world class. This book is a must read for anyone thinking of setting foot in a casino!
