    Sports Betting Literature

    Even a link to a previous thread would suffice, but looking to get a hold of a hard copy sports betting book. Always wondered what advice I could pick up in one. There's a huge Barnes and Nobles by my place, good chance I'll find it there.

    Opinions on which ones are the best.

    Sharp sports betting
    weighing the odds in sports betting
    conquering risk

    Those are probably most recommended for theory + can't go amiss with archives and ganchrow

    As a caveat, best book that goes into bankroll management as well. My weakest area is managing my $.

    well most gamblers overestimate the worth of BRM. they assume that by managing money using a system they can somehow magically turn a series of negative bets into something positive. if you're rec bet 1% of your br and if you have an edge look up kelly and bet some derivation of that

    That's a coincidence. Just this morning I bought the kindle version of "Weighing the Odds in Sports Betting". I haven't looked at it yet but it's good to know that someone here is giving it a thumbs up. Thanks.
