Additional Weighing the Odds in Sports Betting Information
|
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.

What Customers Say About Weighing the Odds in Sports Betting:

Reading the two books will take you from a total newb to an advanced beginner in the shortest time possible and will make you +EV in sports betting to a certain degree. If you are new to sports betting I strongly recommend buying this book and Stanford Wong's Sharp Sports Betting. These are the two quintessential books for the beginning bettor.
If you have done any serious betting yourself you will already know 95% of everything written. The information in this book is only insightful to those who have no idea how sports betting works.
The book is very specific with its details and now I feel much better prepared to place bets. I'm a beginner in the world of sports betting and this is exactly what I was looking for.
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 mentionedAlso, the author does not understand efficient markets and fails to realise that the more a market is efficient, the harder it is to beat How many readers will interested in hearing about the heat in Nevada. 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.
Some of the topics are written in 2-3 paragraphs when I felt they needed a little more in depth coverage on them. 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. That aside, it's a good read and useful resource in a genre where quality is hard to come by. 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.
