5.0 out of 5 stars good book on sports betting, January 31, 2003

This review is from: How to Win at Sports Betting (Paperback)

This book isn't full of any get rich quick schemes but it gives you good strategies to making your own lines and understanding better how the lines are made. This book covers the 5 major sports with different strategies specific to each sport. I would suggest this book especially if you can get it used really cheap like I did. Definitely worth the [money]! Very interesting read.

2.0 out of 5 stars A mild disappointment -- even for a cheap used book., October 8, 2003

This review is from: How to Win at Sports Betting (Paperback)

I bought this book because of it's (at the time) five-star rating. I have to say that I found the book to be pretty much a disappointment. It is filled with grammatical errors that left me filled with doubt about the ability of the author in other areas.

For the most part, this is just about pro football betting as the absolute minimum number of pages is used for the other sports.

If you are a rank beginner to sports betting (hmmm, say if you don't know what 52.38% is) then this might be a good primer -- but only for pro football wagering.

He gives eight principles of winning at sports betting, but I found that several of his "principles" were the same idea, just reworded.

If you have to pay more than $5, including the shipping, then I suggest that you pass.

If you know what 52.38% is, then look for greener fields.

A mild disappointment -- even for a cheap used book.
