i haven't found a lot of real useful information

naturally, people are not going to want to give away their "secrets" while they are still making money at it


but Stanford Wong's Sharp Sports Betting should get you on the right track

another decent one is "The Unemotional Football Bettor" by Scott Kellen


both are aimed towards football, but cover the essential basics of sports betting in general and should give you a good start

I second the notion of Stanford Wong's book. I believe 99% of gambling books are garbage, but his book is a notable exception.
