Review

"You can get angles and trends in a lot of places but this book truly has a lot of fresh, unique, and underutilized approaches and information. Reed Hogben does an outstanding job with the process of handicapping, the workflow, and how to meld different methods of analysis. Reed has created a very worthy addition to any sports bettor's library." --Kevin O'Neill: Handicapper, Author RealWorldSports.com

"This book proves to be a powerful weapon in every sports bettor's arsenal. Whether a recreational bettor, or a full-time professional, The Betting Doctor offers a detailed prescription for profit in all the major sports." --Steve Merril: Handicapper, Oddsmaker ProSportsInfo.com

"I enjoyed it tremendously and your writing style is refreshing and original. Your honesty and approach to this fickle world of sports betting is also right on the money and you make some very valid points." --Doug Fitz: Handicapper SystemPlays.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of The Betting Doctor, August 24, 2007

This review is from: The Betting Doctor (Perfect Paperback)

Reed Hogben is a professional handicapper who has written a very professional book about the art and science of sports betting. It is not a book for those who are looking for a quick system or magic formula. Of course books offering quick systems or magic formulas shouldn't be books for anyone because as Dr. Hogben states there are no magic formulas.

Unlike most handicapping books he starts out with money management. Of which he says no matter how good a handicapper you are you cannot win without proper money management.

He then goes into detail on how he handicaps the NFL, college football, the NBA and major league baseball.

So if you are looking to put the time and work needed, and it is a lot of time and work, he does a good job of laying out the methods required to be successful at betting sports.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best....and I've read almost all of them, December 16, 2008

If you were like me and were looking for a step by step guide to the process of handicapping, then Reed Hogben hit a home run with his "The Betting Doctor". With so many fluff books that rephrase betting terminology and explain what a point spread is, this book was truly a breath of fresh air. Reed wasnt afraid to give away some of his secrets as to the "How's" and "Why's" of NFL, College FB, NBA, and MLB. My only disappointment being that the book didnt cover any college basketball or hockey handicapping.

This review really cant give this book enough praise. In one small case study of mine, I turned a $100 bankroll into over $2000 and counting in the last two months using the basic principles from this book. I'd say that more than made up for the cost of the book.

Last but certainly not least, Reed's website is the best value of all. Taking the basic points from the book to advanced levels with free statistics and articles, even answering personal questions via email, its truly a diamond in the rough.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Books on Process of Sports Handicapping, August 15, 2008

I've read many of the books in this arena and would have to say that Dr. Reed does the best job of taking you through the step-by-step process of sports handicapping. If you know anything about these types of books, this is very rare especially considering that most sports handicapper's take the approach: "that a majician doesn't reveal his trade secrets." He covers many of the American sports and does so in a succinct fashion, providing you with more insight per page than any other I have read.
