I just ordered a book called The Perfect Bet: How Science and Math are taking the Luck Out of Gambling, by Adam Kucharski.
I did this after catching a Washington Post article that interviewed the author. The link to the article is very long and I can't figure out how to post it.
If you google "three basic mistakes that people make at casinos" you will find the article.
