  • Learn How to Make Money Freelance Writing for the Casino/Gaming Industry!
    Learn how to make money freelance writing for the casino/gaming industry! FREELANCE POKER WRITING: How to Make Money Writing for the Gaming Industry Buy The Complete Version of This Book at Booklocker.com: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/2570.html?s=pdf Freelance Poker Writing by Brian Konradt 14 PREFACE This book is slightly ahead of its time. Freelance Poker Writing is the first book showing freelance writers how to make money writing for the gaming industry. Why now? Both poker and casino-style games have been growing in popularity — and so has the writing opportunities. If you search for “poker writing” or “legalized game writing” on Google, you won’t come up with much information on how to break into this industry as a freelance writer. This does not mean writing opportunities don’t exist or freelance writers aren’t making money writing about poker and gaming. If you dig long enough, interview the pros in the industry, and research everything about poker and gaming, you will come up with what I came up. And I crammed everything I found into this guide for you. WHAT IS FREELANCE POKER WRITING? There are many popular casino-style games, but nothing matches the growth and popularity of poker and how poker influences society. In writing this book I have focused more on the games and influences of poker than on any other casino-style games. I use the term “poker writing” in this book to mean writing about the games of poker, as well as writing about the influences of poker.

The Role of Skill Versus Luck in Poker: Evidence from the World Series of Poker Steven D. Levitt and Thomas J. Miles NBER Working Paper No. 17023 May 2011 JEL No. K23,K42 ABSTRACT In determining the legality of online poker – a multibillion dollar industry – courts have relied heavily on the issue of whether or not poker is a game of skill. Using newly available data, we analyze that question by examining the performance in the 2010 World Series of Poker of a group of poker players identified as being highly skilled prior to the start of the events. Those players identified a priori as being highly skilled achieved an average return on investment of over 30 percent, compared to a -15 percent for all other players.
