You might consider "The Theory of Gambling and Statistical Logic" by Richard Epstein.

haven't read the thread... but i'd think TOP is pretty close. and some of the essay books.... BTW, there are university professors who study poker (for the math and game theory etc. angles) and i'm sure there are articles considered ground-breaking or seminal (correct english??)

Something that you could use in the academic realm? Schoonmaker comes close im guessing. Are there any other examples that anyone can think of on poker or gambling in general?

Hi flush:

For what it's worth, at the "Seventh Conference on Gambling and Risk Taking" sponsored by the University of Nevada-Reno and held in 1987, I gave a paper titled "Non-Self Weighting Strategies and Bankroll Requirements." Peter Griffing was the moderator. This material now appears in my book Gambling Theory and Other Topics.

Best wishes,
Mason

I think this Chris Ferguson article might count:
