[docetes]

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

From the FAQ:

"Roxy Roxborough’s book Sports Book Management provides a good view of how sportsbooks operate."

You're not going to find much better information out there.

i'm only a poor student and wouldn't have that sort of cash to throw around [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Does anyone know of an on-line resource?

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:

alternatively your school library might have a copy, or if you're in the US you and your advisor can put in a request to the library to buy a copy.

I'll buy you the book if you stop posting.

Can I get that promise?

Yea. I'll send you the $20 over Stars if you take the liberty to order the damn book for him and have it shipped.

If he ever posts again, you send me back $20. Cool? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

well if anyone needs any nice pictures i'll definitely link them to that site but what i'm looking for is how a bookie calculates the odds.
