Here's a short review that should hopefully get my point across.

If I ran a sports book I would gladly give a copy of this book to any client who wanted one.

This review is from: Secrets of Professional Sports Betting (Paperback)

The author is very knowledgeable and has some interesting insights. The only problem is that sometimes the book is a little bit too broad. The author advises the bettor to "make halftime bets" and to "make quality bets, and not a quantity of bets". But what types of halftime bets? In which games? What constitutes a "quality bet"? Overall a good read, despite the lack of specificity.
