I've heard that Sharp Sports Betting is a must. I ordered it myself the other day.
From what I've heard and read about it, he focuses on NFL betting, but most of the concepts can be applied to any sport.

Just a little look can go a long way

Alright well now I feel like an ass. Just disregard my last post. I looked at the original post fast and thought he was looking for a book as in a paperback

Don't mind me.

i think you were right. BTW, i second the SSB nomination. The website by that name is a must also.

No, you were right. I am looking for a book in the informative sense. Thanks for your post and the suggestion. Any others?

to be honest i cant think of any. anything i have learned about betting sports has been word of mouth (forums etc)

the SSB book isnt "great" either, but it has some tables/charts that are invaluable.

What info does this book tell one?

Can u elaborate on what you like about the website, and specifically what in the Box Seats forums makes it worth the cost? I'd appreciate any info, thanks a lot.

sure, there are a few people who make thier living from betting sports who post there (mostly on the box seats. stevieY has been a pro for about 8 years and has been documented at SSB for the past 4+) the "hosts" not only post thier picks, but are willing to answer just about any question you may have. the bleachers (free seats) are a little "noisy" but still have decent advice. the site administator is goats (a young pro, the guy knows his stuff and reads every post on the site) i am sure if you make a post over there asking him any questions you have, he will answer it.
