    Learning to handicap

    Hey guys, not new to gambling but new to handicapping. All the information seems so overwhelming to look at. Any suggestions for a place to start, a book to read, how handicapping is done? I realize this is a broad question but i would love to learn, and not have to tail or bet by feel. Thanks for ur input!

    This type of question would be better served on a gambling forum or a sports betting forum. But good luck finding what you're looking for

    lots of ways to skin a cat.
    the best and ONLY 100% successful long-term strategy is to stick large amounts of money in quality books, get bonuses, and bet against yourself (primarily on baseball where the juice can be almost zero).

    also, come to places like this with free points/contests/etc where you can't lose.

    but if you want to waste tons of time handicapping and still end up breaking even, suit yourself.

    Read Justin7's book(Conquering Risk). If you are just starting and have no clue, you will learn some basic stuff in there to get you going.

    There are some gems in this sea of shit if you know where/who to look for.


    OP search SBR forums/archives for posts by Ganchrow to start off with. There are some decent books out there like Sharp Sports Betting, Weighing the odds in Sports Betting, Fixed odds sports betting. Pick out one of those after ganch and go from there.

    My advice would be to not waste any time capping major market sports like NFL,NBA,MLB as a beginner and concentrate on smaller markets/props. That and line shopping+steam chasing should get you better off than 99% on the forum.
