In recent years, a growing amount of
information on gambling has become available on
Web sites. Some sites are game specific, while
many others offer information on a wide range of
games. Some sites offer good information (wizardofodds),
others offer a mixed quality of information (clubchance),
and others offer mostly inaccurate information (lotterysoftware).
All of these sites, good or bad, either contain
advertisements for online casinos and other
gambling venues, or are trying to sell some
product that is supposed to improve ones chance
of winning. In many of the mediocre Web sites
one has to hunt around for accurate information
amongst the advertisements and product
promotions. One site, professionalgambler,
offers a service selling statistical information
to serious sports gamblers to help them place
their bets. However, it also includes a
tongue-in-cheek section on 10 ways to throw away
money in sports betting in which it discourages
poor betting strategies such as increasing bets
to make up for losses and other harmful systems
of play. We do not have the expertise to
evaluate the legitimacy of their statistical
information, but the information related to
responsible gambling is unusually good.
The best Web site we have found so far is the
Wizard of Odds site ( wizardofodds). This site
includes a question-and-answer section for
topics that are not covered by the Web site.
This site also includes an annotated
bibliography of books on gambling.
