Why was it even written?

I've spent a ton of time and energy on what I think are original pursuits. Other people have too. This effort is duplicated with each new person, and time and money is often lost. Reason #1: help people stop wasting time on methods that have no chance of winning.

Casinos and sportsbooks are evil. They prey on the weak willed, the mathematically challenged, and the poor. Reason #2:Anyone that masters everything in that book will have the best of it whenever they gamble. This is overly optimistic though, since most people lack the will or the mathematics to follow this book. I actually expect a majority of people to read it, and say to themselves "Yeah I can do it. But it looks like a lot of work, so I'll keep doing my Martingale progressions." Some will read it, and say "I'm ******. I have no business betting." and they will quit betting. A very small minority will read it closely, master it, and add to it. They will take the methods there much further than I published, and they are a serious threat to any sportsbook's bottom line.

Reason #3: I actually enjoy teaching.

Reason #4: Publishing this is +EV for me.
