    Any reading suggestions on sports betting. Not looking for a particular subject, more interested in quality. So if you've read a good book regarding betting strategies, money-management, etc. please recommend it with a short description of what it has to offer or why someone should read it. thanks.

    Technical in order of quality (biased of course as it will differ for everyone)

    Fixed odds Sports Betting by Joseph Buchdahl
    Sharp Sports Betting by Standford Wong
    Weighing the Odds in Sports Betting by King Yao
    Conquering Risk by Justin 7

    The best material however isn't in book forum. Go look at Ganchrow posts and the discussions that revolved around them/his answering others questions. 2+2 SB wells are also decent source of information.

        I would not recommend the sports betting book from the store (not conquering risk, I enjoyed it more than king yao's book actually).

                  I would suggest Conquering Risk that is available in the SBR shop. Good advice on approaching props which has helped me a lot.

                        Thanks for the info. Will check some of these out.

                        OP, only one I have read is Conquering Risk. It was a good read and definitely has some good info in it. It covers building models as well.

                              How to Beat the Pro Football Point Spread by Bobby Smith. I thought this was informative.

                                The New Gambler's Bible by Arthur Reber is very basic, but I think the information it contains is pretty good for someone just starting out.

                                Sharp Sports Betting by Stanford Wong is almost as old as the Reber book, but more advanced. I still use some of the tables in the book to this day.
