Any books that you would recommend on VP?
I am new to VP and really interested behind the math, strategy, and the many types of games available. If you know any books that sound really good to this, please let me know!

The most helpful book for VP is entitled, "Bankruptcy 101: How To Proceed".

If you're math-oriented, Bob Dancer is your man. His how-to book (VP for the Intelligent Beginner) is $10 on Kindle.
A free resource is vpfree2 dot com. It'll show you the best paybacks available at US casinos.
Wizard of Odds is a general gambling site with excellent info for free.

I concur with Dinghy. I would start with Bob Dancer's VP for the Intelligent Beginner.

I'm sorry, but I got a chuckle out of this.
But like the others, I would recommend Bob Dancer's stuff.
But I would also like to point out the example games he suggests are "good games" in his older books are either difficult to find or impossible to find today. But the general principles of his books remain.

Definitely the Bob Dancer Winner's Guides are essential if you want to take a deeper dive into the math of the game. Start with the Jacks or Better book, which also covers Bonus Poker, and use that as a reference. If you like it, buy the other books in the series for the games you play.

Bobby Dancer is an odd fellow, he scoughs at people who chase the Royal, he scoughs at people who claim to play 9/6 and have an edge yet he promotes video poker at its finest, been getting 400$ free play from windcreek bethlehem while its true there slots are poop compared to video poker, id still pick video poker.
200-400$ a week isn't bad free play play on your phone and redeeem at property sure beats the krapola out of atlantic city imo

Never been to WC Bethlehem but I'd bet I can find vulturable slots that's are much better than ANY VP in this country!
