just does a good job in how they construct a bet, how they thye gather info and what factors they use when handicapping a race, money management techniques,handeling losing streaks, thoughts on rebate shops,having a bankroll, constructing a line for the race,etc.. Just very interesting to hear different views, not just one guys thoughts. The author asks a ton of good questions about gambling to a ton of pro's. If they had a book like this with pro sports gamblers, it would be our bible!!!parlayin said:
