    Who has read the books in the SBR Store?
    Conquering Risk and Sports Investing.

    I'd like to hear if they are worthwhile to read.
    Also if you have them on you, how many pages each of them are. I'm a slow reader and it's not my favorite thing to do, hope I can get through them haha

      I recommend Conquering Risk if you're new to gambling on sports.

          but, if you've been in this game for a while, you probably wont learn anything. Pretty basic stuff

              It really isnt worth it if you have been gambling for at least 1 year. Maybe for an ABSOLUTE BEGINNER

                Conquering Risk is interesting, but not sure its really needed.

                      Is Sports Investing more the basic one?

                        justin7's book is very good for an introductory lesson on lots of gambling stuff. took a look at it and going to buy it for sure.

                          Conquering risk is a very easy read.
                          I hate reading books and thoroughly enjoyed it.
                          If you like gambling you should read it as soon as you can.
                          280 pages but you will blow through it.
                          Get it now. You will be glad you did.

                            I'm 3/4 the way through conquering risk. Good book, didn't teach me much, but the few things that I have learned are very nice to know and will definitely help me in the future. It talks about which markets can be the most profitable and describes in detail how to set up and use a statistical model.

                                  They are good books for reading before you go to bed.

                                    So now I'm able to buy Sports Investing if I chose. Is it a good use of the points after reading "conquering risk" or should I have them for a different use? such as a freeplay or gift card?

                                          I found "Sports Investing" far less worth reading than "Conquering risk". I actually wouldn´t say it´a good use of points.

                                                    Conquering Risk is definitely better for experienced bettors. There's nothing in Sports Investing that you can't pick up on this forum.
