This is an interesting read about gambling and how it affects the people that are addicted to it. I have always been curious about the gambling industry and why it is given such importance in some countries. I'm adding this book to my reading list.

I like that the author makes the reader aware of gambling and suicide by using actual statistical data. I always knew gambling was an addiction but reading this book might help me see what it is actually about. The book also opens your eyes to the corruption of gambling places, making people keep placing bets at a game they will never win. Great review.

:P Gambling isn't really my forte, so I'm not a big fan of casino's. I'll try giving this book a try. The review on the other hand is topnotch.
Thanks for the review.
I believe that great success is possible in any field - From music to mathematics to macro trading.

Trapped in Pairadice is a fictionalized tale of online gambling. Cara is investigating online gambling because of several suicides of people known to her. However, her boss is not interested to have this done. It seems to be an interesting read, however, profanities can be a put off. Thank you for your review.

The issue of gambling addiction is not usually discussed but it’s as bad as any addiction and the debt most gamblers incur is alarming. This book sheds light on the dark side of gambling. Good one from the author. Congratulations on being the book of the day! Nice review.

I've read a book years ago about a addict gambler and it was extremely interesting. Never found something like this again until now and it seems it's even more indepth detail than the previous book. I just can't wait to read this. I want to see if Cara is going to pursue her research, and if so what the end result will be. Thanks for a great review.

I love the inclusion of 'Dear Gambling' before each chapter to prepare the readers for what's to come ahead in this well-written fiction book about casinos and gambling.

For those who prefer reading these kinds of fiction books, this appears to be a fascinating and captivating tale. It should help people who don't comprehend or don't personally know someone who suffers from an addiction to internet gambling, in my opinion. Both highly informative and insightful, it might be. While seeking to shed some light on the sins of large corporations in the gambling industry, it is hoped that the protagonist stays hidden. Congrats on botd!
