Some book titles - anyone who´s read any? Any good, bad etc

[BananaDan]

Ok it´s about time I get off my ass and start learning how to bet sports. Been planning it for I don´t know how long. Too long that´s for sure.
Anywho I logged on to my fav book site, where I usually order everything from true crime to poker books, and found the following titles. Yeah boring post perhaps but feel free to stop reading. Or give me some of that sarcasm you seem so good at here at the SB forum.

The books in question:

"Sports Betting
And how to Make it Pay" by Derek McGovern

"Definitive Guide To Betting On Sports" by Bruce Millington

"Fixed Odds Sports Betting
Statistical Forecasting and Risk Management" by Joseph Buchdal

"How To Win At Sports Betting" by J.Edward Allen

"Sports Spread Betting" by Daniel Townend

"Winning Sports Betting" by Avery Cardoza


I´ve already decided to order Wongs "Sharp Sports Betting" and Sklanskys "Getting The Best Of It" but what about "Gambling For A Living"? Also by Sklansky and there´s some sports betting in that one too. But is it the same stuff he covers in GTBOI or is it different somehow?

(I didn´t link to the books cause the site isn´t in english, I´m sure you can find them on Amazon or similar)

I have both 2+2 books. Gambling for a living pretty much sucks.

[BananaDan]

Oh ok, I´ll forget that one then.
But you agree with statement in FAQ that the sports betting part of Getting The Best Of It is a good read?

[Thremp]

Havn't read it, but it likely sucks.

[BananaDan]

lol, ok.
But Wongs book then, does it also suck?

Oh and I want you in the well Thremp, should be good for alot of fun.

[Thremp]

I'm a jerk. You don't.

Wongs book is the basic book I hear recommended. I don't do a lot of handicapping so I'm still reading it. Some of the websites are good stuff also.

[BananaDan]

True. But a fun jerk.

So you mostly do line shopping then I take it. Is Wongs book mostly about handicapping? Anyway I just ordered it.

[kaboshedx]

Thremp is pretty vague about what it is he actually does

[Thremp]

kabo,

Not really. I arb.

[kaboshedx]

I thought you did more than that...no? Dont you bet props?
