I have read and owned all of the late Bob McCune's works over the years. They are all well worth the time and effort to read.
Football Handicapping by Bob McCune highly recommended.
All of Bob's books can be purchased online at

Unfortunately some of Bob McCune's books may be out of print at this time. You can try Amazon.com though if what you are looking for is not at The Gamblers Bookshop, ya never know...
My personal favorite also. The chapter on NBA totals ("The Deviation Factor") is excellent.

Wil- Bob and myself spent many, many hours discussing NBA TOTALS in our times together........probably more so than any other sportsbetting related topic. Although NBA TOTALS are still lucrative to those that put the time and effort into handicapping them, PRE-1994 they were even more of a virtual silvermine to the sophisticated handicapper in Las Vegas who was willing to put in the time and effort needed to beat them.
For what little success I have achieved in sportsbetting over the years, owe as much to Bob as anybody in the business, past and present.
Revelations in sportsbetting is by far my favorite book by him and is the one I recommmend to newbies, even over education of a sportsbettor. If you can get through that book and the harshness within, you have a chance.
I use his "World Famous Guessicapper" phrase to describe my picking style all the time.
I am simply to LAZY to do anyhthing else.
