With modern print on demand, it doesn't take a $500 price tag to do a 50 page hardcover printing of just 10 copies to cover costs.

If you want a piece of crap book, that looks like a piece of crap, that's probably true. This is not going to be a piece of crap.

Quite obviously you have never used print on demand. This isn't the 2000's. This is 20 years old tech and it looks perfectly fine.

Most major publishers now use it. That's why you can order a brand new copy of an old book.

In fact you are more likely to get a piece of crap doing it the old fashioned way. You are going to order from a professional printer ten copies while they are dealing with major houses ordering thousands. Guess who is getting all their professional attention. Won't surprise me if your book winds up with poor binding and a crappy dust jacket.

I think you should look at one of the thesis on demand printers, at least to compare their service offerings.
Many are quite good, and reasonably priced for a graduate student's budget.

I wouldn't pay $2.50 for one of your copies.

But I am sure one of the ten copies will pop up on eBay. Especially if people read it and realize they want their money back.

That's a great bit of humor, there. The connotations and implications of who would want to buy it, who you would allow to buy it are beyond my imagination. One of the best practical jokes I've ever heard. If you do it, you'll certainly die laughing.

I'll keep an eye out for the bootleg PDF, right after I finish making sense of that book I found in a hotel room, bedside drawer.

Just as a suggestion. You can get self designed jigsaws. Why not present your method pictorially as a 50 piece jigsaw and take 1 different piece from each box and sell to 51 people. 51 People who never get to know eachother.

I don't care about having it cheaply done, I want it to be a collectible that's why I'm only doing 10 of them. It might even have leather covers, I haven't decided. I know what a good book looks like I used to buy and sell them.

There is a difference between cheap and inexpensive.
Theses are generally printed at about 10 copies, usually with pretty nice collectible gift grade covers and bindings.

Everybody seems hung up on how the book's going to be printed, seriously, who cares. It isn't even written yet, I haven't even done the outline yet. Writing a book is very time consuming, printing it is the last thing on my mind. Cross that bridge when I come to it.

So in theory you could just say you wrote this book with endorsements and no one would be able to fact check you?

Er, if you are going to show your method to "several known people," how hard would it be to find one that knows how to program an Excel spreadsheet, so you can work on your "I can see six tables at once, so at least one will be playable at any given moment, but I can't crunch the numbers fast enough" problem?

Good God. Have you never read a book in your life? You send the manuscript to somebody, they read it, they send you an endorsement, and you include it in the front of the book.

I know exactly how it works

But you said only ten copies would be made available.

So now more than ten copies will be made available? The manuscript "proofs" will be out there as well?

Or are the ones reading the proofs the ones you plan to sell your ten copies to?

You can't have it both ways. Only ten copies out there meanwhile a bunch of copies sent as proofs as well.

(And you plan on sending the proofs as digital copies? Good luck with that LMAO). It will be on the black market before you can typeset the regular copies

Tell you what sport. When the outline is done, and the book is written, and I'm getting ready to have it published, I'll send you all the details so you'll know exactly what's going on because you seem to be losing sleep over this. In the meantime here's some advice. Don't worry about it, it's being handled.

I forgot to mention, it's going to be endorsed by several known people who tried it and verified that it works. The endorsements will be in the front of the book. It's not going to be a pig in a poke what would be the point of that.

Er, if you are going to show your method to "several known people," how hard would it be to find one that knows how to program an Excel spreadsheet, so you can work on your "I can see six tables at once, so at least one will be playable at any given moment, but I can't crunch the numbers fast enough" problem?

Lol. Says the guy who admits he hasn't written anything yet

Good luck with your intended book.

How are they even going to endorse the book without seeing it? Or are they the ten people who are buying the book?

Read what you just wrote and ask why anybody would reply to it. It's like somebody asking how will you know when you get to San Francisco if you never go there.

Right.

So in other words no one will be able to confirm you even wrote such a book. Just like no one can confirm you have a roulette system.

Good God. Have you never read a book in your life? You send the manuscript to somebody, they read it, they send you an endorsement, and you include it in the front of the book. I thought you were an author, you would think you know how these things work. How do you think endorsements to get in the front of books, magic? Good grief..

I know exactly how it works

But you said only ten copies would be made available.

So now more than ten copies will be made available? The manuscript "proofs" will be out there as well?

Or are the ones reading the proofs the ones you plan to sell your ten copies to?

You can't have it both ways. Only ten copies out there meanwhile a bunch of copies sent as proofs as well.

(And you plan on sending the proofs as digital copies? Good luck with that LMAO). It will be on the black market before you can typeset the regular copies

Tell you what sport. When the outline is done, and the book is written, and I'm getting ready to have it published, I'll send you all the details so you'll know exactly what's going on because you seem to be losing sleep over this. In the meantime here's some advice. Don't worry about it, it's being handled.

I mentioned about five times in my posts up to now that I had not written the outline yet. Do you even read any of these posts? I'm always explaining stuff that I already said. I said I'm going to write a book, I'm doing the outline and then the writing and then the publishing. Everybody immediately jumps to the publishing. Who cares, that's way down the line, that's the last thing that's on my mind now.

As EB would tell you, it doesn’t matter what any of us forum members think about his endeavor, he will write this book for himself. Good for him! I just hope he gives Mike a copy pro bono for hosting EB and his roulette jabber all these years.
I’m trying to imagine though who would pay $500 for the book? My only guess here would be DarkOz. He was willing to fork over a multiple of that to have Mike watch MDawg play baccarat. Might have his interest piqued enough to invest just to scoff at EB? I think I’d pay up to $5. We are going to have a ‘library’ in the new house.

Definitely not me. I actually got some valuable information from the MDawg situation.

Let me put your mind at ease. If these books were $10,000 each and you wanted to buy five of them I wouldn't sell them to you.

So is the Wizard going to be one of your trusted endorsements? And if not, why is that?

Has anyone noticed that the questions and answers about the book in this forum are probably longer than the actual book will be.

Casino Quest posted a "strategy from an Italian that's 400 years old!" and a couple commentators pointed out that this particular strategy(sort of a reverse martingale, you bet bigger when you win and less when you lose) is actually created by an Italian guy in the 1980s for stock market day trading. Turns out they have the same/similar first and last names, lol.

The masaniello is a fairly interesting strategy even for 40 instead of 400 years old. Wizard you up for a masaniello strategy page like you've done for the others in this vein?
