The Zen of Gambling: Lessons from the World's Greatest Gambler

America's premier sports gambler shows readers how to navigate the many gambles of life successfully.

In The Zen of Gambling, the star of Spike TV's Wayne Allyn Root's WinningEDGE 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.

"Professional sports betting is cleaner, more honest, and much more compelling than wagering on the stock market. I know something about stock gambling, but when it comes to sports, I defer completely to Wayne Allyn Root. Wayne is king of the handicappers; he's the Warren Buffett of his world. You need his book to master the betting world." James J. Cramer, co-host of CNBC's "Kudlow & Cramer"
