Sports Handicapping Books
I have been a long time sports bettor. I usually have winning seasons (not a lot of winnings).
I have been lookin at amazon.com for Sports Handicapping books and there are a ton... What books do you all like? I really only bet Football, Basketball, and some baseball (no track sports). Thanks... |

Re: Sports Handicapping Books
From the FAQ:
What are the best books to read? Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong is a good introduction to thinking like a sharp. David Sklansky’s chapter on sports betting in Getting the Best of It provides a good explanation of the math behind betting. Roxy Roxborough’s book Sports Book Management provides a good view of how sportsbooks operate. that's pretty much it as far as I'm concerned. Wong's book is pretty much the Super System of handicapping. |

It points out the basic trends (home dogs are good, tease through 3 and 7, etc) and shows you most of the math you need to know, but it doesn't actually give you much info on how to handicap a game. |
