Nobody knows why he has come to that school or what the real motivations behind his actions are.
During any match, Tomu shows off all of his unique coolness and ability.
He employs a wide range of tricks, both psychological and physical, to ensure his victory. In any game, you will constantly ask how he's planning to win, why he's really doing certain things, and what's really going on. At the end of the matches, the tricks are revealed, and they all work in real life, even if they do require one to be highly skilled or lucky in order to perform them.
The story centers around the various matches he undertakes and the interactions between the various characters, like Mika Shishidou, the beautiful granddaughter of the school headmaster, who is highly intelligent but contemptuous and superb, or Abidani, the vampiric looking dorm superintendent and main villain (for now) in the series, who has a sadistic personality and whose goal is to make Tomu leave his school (or to get him killed).
As the story unfolds, more about Tomu's past is revealed, leading to unpredictable turns of events. Less...

It's an okay manga, the story is quite simple really but the tricks and the way he tries to accomplish his goals is clever and for me the most attractive part of the story. The characters get on my nerves alot because of their personalities, the main character is really smug and all the girls just fall for him. But now I'm reading it by releases and it's lost it's spark. So I recomend reading it in blocks and if you don't enjoy it after a couple of chapters drop it. There's no point sticking with it.

This manga is great, the author has done some research
The best thing about this manga is no supernatural stuff, all of this is possible IRL
Every chapter is exciting than the previous
This could very well pass as seinen manga

the best thing about this manga to me is harem and psycho combine together. plus great story. All his opponent is girls~.^ I hope he not fall in love with anyone but hope every girls fall for him. and really x 1000 hope this manga will continue like yugioh. And this manga is not only good but great because we don't always see thing like this, just go away for people who don't like it. just read something else, it stupid to see stupid comment. Just watch god of gamble.

Aside from not being especially interested in the gimmicky 'gambling' tricks the main character uses, I've got one other issue that prevents me from enjoy this manga: the main character. I don't usually have a problem with confident protagonists, but this one just somehow comes across as a big ball of smug without anything else to him.

On to my short and stupid review~
Gamble fish is a fun read blah blah. I'm tired, sorry. More luck and cheating in this than anything else but whatever. Yeah it's fine. Might as well read it~

This manga is about cheating, not gambling. Wouldn't mind that if the author wouldn't try to be smarter than he is. The main plot devices are countless dei ex machina and a protagonist with way too much luck.

This is basically just another typical shounen trying to be smarter than it is. It's not as blatantly guilty as, say, Death Note or Lost+Brain, but from a purely general standpoint it's basically just a typical fanservice-based thriller that that adheres to typical tropes. The characters aren't very realistic, and as a result I'm highly tempted to question the "psychological" label, but as it does engage in pseudo-psychological typology in order to explain the protagonist's inexplicable ability to thrive off of xanatos gambits in nearly every scenario, I suppose it works at the bare minimum level.
If you want something smart, try picking up a title that has actual intellectual content. If you want something mildly entertaining, provided you can suspend disbelief long enough to allow yourself to be tricked, then this one might suit you fine.

It really did have an interesting start, but as chapters came out it became wholly apparent the author has none of the cunning or wit like those he wishes upon his protagonist. Therein lies the crack for the foundation that should have risen this series to stalwart heights...
Let's just say it's crap and get it over with.
