The thread is full of recs. I mentioned David Sklansky whose books were assigned reading at SIG 20 years ago. Gambling literature is going to be a great place to search since it will likely balance academic and applied considerations.

To that end I also recommended the OG website → wizardofodds.com

For decades, they’ve been publishing the combinatorics on casino games and so much more. They even had a list of all the specific video poker machines that had positive edge (yes, there were some. At SIG there was a group that actually exploited this as a fun side extracurricular).

The host of the exceptional gambling podcast Risk of Ruin @halfkelly immediately recommended:

Harry Crane’s First Course In Probability

Others recommended video courses such as:

Statistics 110: Probability by Harvard University

Course in Bayesian Statistics via Virginal Commonwealth University
