In case anyone has read these books (see links), I would much appreciate some feedback.
There seems to be a gap between the typical sports betting literature and academic studies. And from what I've seen only the field of horse racing has study material that bridges that gap. I'm of the opinion that anything complex can be made accessible by breaking it down into simple components, and that those who take the trouble to do so are often the best teachers. Unfortunately, most academics in this regard are terrible teachers. Hence the gap.
Anyway, the second book can be read online, or at least big chunks of it.
