    Recommended betting books

    There's pretty a lot books on betting but I bet only few are worth a closer look. Have not read a single to date that's why I am asking you guys.

    What are some books that have given you real knowledge on how to set correct odds or how to compare teams. Something that you have found useful enough and use it nowadays in your betting models and so on. I am particurarly into soccer books. Can you share some titles with us?

    ps. Yep, I have seen Justin's post about new rating book.

    75 people have read this B4 me, the reason no 1 is helping is that this is asked like every month or so.

    here i'll help u out some, not being a dick but it gets boring saying the same thing all the time - u can imagine....

    fwiw, i thought justin's book was the best but i'd already read a few others so maybe u want to start w sharp sports betting and king yao's book weighing the odds.

    The books that you should want to read have nothing to do with sports betting or gambling.

    and everything with statistics and programming?

    There is stuff to be written, but if it was truly worth reading, it would have to be called 'Blown Cover'.

    all about the math behind the markets, nothing to do with handicapping games
