Product Description
Sports betting can be attacked intelligently. Smart sports bettors do not gamble the same way as tourists play roulette or retirees play the slot machines. Instead, smart sports bettors are making bets that they have thought through carefully with supporting logic and/or research. The purpose of this book is to give you tools to succeed at sports betting, to show you how to evaluate, compare and view sports betting from an analytical perspective, not from a gambling perspective.
This book by King Yao, author of the widely-acclaimed Weighing the Odds in Hold 'em Poker, should be used as a guideline to sports betting rather than a blueprint. The sports betting market changes and adapts quickly. The underlying principles shown in this book should help you adapt and continue to make good bets even when the market changes.
This book is for you if you want to think analytically about sports betting. It is for you if you do not want to be spoon-fed supposed winners, but want to get some ideas to improve your game. You battle bookmakers and line makers constantly; betting sports is a game of maneuvers and adjustments. You can use as many weapons as possible in this continuous fight. This book should help in that regard.

 NEW TO SPORTS BETTING, FOUND THIS BOOK HELPFUL October 18, 2008
NASH VEGAS BABY (SMYRNA, TENNESSEE)
I DON'T KNOW A WHOLE LOT ABOUT SPORTS BETTING, BUT I DID LEARN A THING OR TWO FROM THIS BOOK, SO IF A BOOK CAN TEACH ME SOMETHING NEW I THINK IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY.
For only $13.57 how can you go worng with this one. October 14, 2008
My Favorite Critic
I mean really the information in this book for the price, earns it an automatic 5 star rating, this is one of my favorite authors on amazon when it comes to sports betting.
Good book for beginners. October 4, 2008
The Capper (South Dakota USA)
Good book for beginners. I do wish it would have covered some online stuff, but ot a big deal in my opinion. Go YAO!
 Very basic July 8, 2008

2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The book gives the basics, but some are questionable. The author needs to move into the 21st century and realise that Vegas is a shadow and online books are the way to go. How many readers will interested in hearing about the heat in Nevada? He needed to tackle this from an online perspective, as this is how most people bet.
There is no talk of College football or hoops, nor is the NBA regular season mentioned
Also, the author does not understand efficient markets and fails to realise that the more a market is efficient, the harder it is to beat
Very Good Book July 8, 2008
J. Newton (Melbourne, VIC, AUS)
Really did enjoy this book and will refer to it again and again to re-inforce some of the material in here. Very sound advice and the content is easily grasped. My only criticism (and it's a minor issue) is that some of the topics aren't covered in deep enough detail (IMO) i.e. Some of the topics are written in 2-3 paragraphs when I felt they needed a little more in depth coverage on them.
That aside, it's a good read and useful resource in a genre where quality is hard to come by.
