Default Weighing the odds in sports betting?

Has anyone had a chance to read King Yao's new book? I'm a complete novice when it comes to sports betting, and was thinking about picking this book up.

His other book, Weighing the Odds of Texas Holdem, is fantastic.

I have heard that a lot of great poker players lost big chunks of their earnings in sports betting, even Doyle Brunson has. I wouldn't go into it.

I was just curious more than anything as I haven't heard about this book before. Not on Amazon or Conjelco

always been a little "iffy" when it comes to these types of gambling books (well just about everything besides Poker and Blackjack for that matter). Reviews from people who have had experience in the field of sports betting would be good to see.

I have read drafts of parts of it. I like what I've read. You can get an idea about the sorts of things it covers by reading his articles in various issues of 2+2 Magazine over the last year.
