Sharp sports betting by stanfod wong is a must have. Gambling for a living has some good stuff on the subject too.

I recommend Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong as well.

There are two books in particular that I would also recommend, although I think they are only available from the Gambler's Book Club in Las Vegas (you can order online as well ... www.gamblersbooks.com )

The books are Betting Baseball, A New Approach by Michael Murray. As it says, its only a baseball betting book, it goes through some useful tools to use when considering betting baseball.

The other book is only on NFL : Win More, Lose Less! Maximizing Profits on NFL Wagering by Don Peszynski

Bad link. It should be www.gamblersbook.com without the 's' on the end.

check out "The Unemotional Football Bettor" by Scott Kellen. It is available through his website (www.sixthsensesports.com) or also through sharpsportsbetting

Wong's book is the only other one I would reccommend. Generally much better information can be found in the sportsbetting forums than in any published book.

Which forums? I don't think rec.gambling.sports is all that great. Are there better discussions elsewhere?
