Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
The military calls it the fog of war. Bad sources, conflicting data, and fragmentary intelligence all conspire to hinder a soldier's knowledge of what is really happening once battle is joined.
This same fog handicaps sports bettors as well, albeit without the fatal consequences the military must live with. Betting Baseball 2007 is an attempt to clear the fog. Bobby Knight likes to say, "Everyone has the will to win; it's only those with the will to prepare that do win." The methods detailed in this book will show the preparation needed to win at betting baseball.

Scattered and Disappointing,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Betting Baseball (Paperback)
I have never read a more scattered book in my life. I expected it to contain analysis and key strategies the author has used to succeed in baseball betting. Instead, it is a journal recounting one season of betting -- randomly hopping from topic to topic without any sort of systematic presentation or analysis. If anecdotes on sports betting sprinkled with cursory references to facts/methods/reasons is what you want, this is it. The book actually *mentions* quite a few valid tools/angles to consider, and it is clear the author is very knowledgeable about the game and the numbers behind it. However, outside of 3-4 pages where creating fair odds is discussed, the book does not provide any directly useful handicapping information.

Journal or Guide to Handicapping???,
By Atlanta Heat Holder "Everyone has the will to... (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Betting Baseball (Paperback)
Murray's book is very scattered (just as the reviewer below me stated). It also seems like a journal of his wagering of 2007 (on baseball), which it is, but I don't want to read a journal. I'm already a sound handicapper and only recieved a few new pieces of info from this book. He speaks of Money Management from the start, but fails to not chase losses throughout the year, as well as wagering on too many sides, totals, and props every day. For Murray to regard himself as a respectable baseball handicapper and then not follow his own advice is absolutely absurd.
I usually give folks the benefit of the doubt, but I wouldn't recommend "Betting Baseball 2007" to anyone that's serious about wagering on baseball or to the recreational wagerer.

Not a Book for Lazy People,
This review is from: Betting Baseball (Paperback)
In terms of providing a formulaic way of handicapping baseball games, there is no other book I've read which comes close. The reason a book like this will get poor reviews is because after reading it people find that in order to win they'll have to put in tons of time handicapping using programs like excel. Most people who decide to gamble on sports are looking for a quick and easy way to make money and this book doesn't give quick fixes.
I don't follow murray's methodology exactly, but it is this book which has helped me find a way to win betting baseball.
