Hi,
I am a final year student in computer science. For my final year project, I'm looking into developing an on-line bookmakers and I would appreciate it if you could supply me with some information into how bookmakers operate or point me towards some relevant material. Cheers, Dave |

Fortunately for you i hear they have these things called libraries which let you check out books for free. You might give that a shot.
But if $15-$25 for a book is out of your price range, you might want to try writing your thesis on another topic. Here's something I found with a very simple Google search: http://online.sfsu.edu/~hl/g.bk.html |

[/ QUOTE ] You might have considered scrolling down past the pretty picture to the section of thirty-some books labeled "Bookmaking Bibliography" where it lists titles like "HOW TO BECOME A BOOKMAKER" and "THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO BETTING AND BOOKMAKING" which seem to slightly be on topic for you. I'm locking this thread because I don't see this going anywhere but further downhill from here... |
