What are some great sports betting books?

I would take suggestions on casino gaming books as well.

What have you read on the subject that is very good?

I have close to 40 gambling related books. Are you looking for a good story or to learn how to win?

I would love a well written, pertinent strategy book or a great story.

"School Of Hard Knocks" by Bellyputter

Iceman · Jul 23, 2007

Here are some of my favorites (in no particular order):

1) Education of a Sports Bettor by Bob Mccune

2) Gambling Wizards by

3) The Complete Book Of Sports Betting By Jack Moore

4) Beat The Sports Book by Dan Gordon

5) The Odds by Chad Millman

6) The Smart Money (you already mentioned)

7) How Professional gamblers beat the pro football pointspread BY JR Miller

Goto Gamblerbookclub.com and look at their huge selection.

Supposedly tomorrow is the arrival of a book I have waited for a few months and I can wait it is by King Yao. Look into that one.

If you like horse racing Six Secrets of Successfull Bettors maybe the best of all these but it pertains to horse racing and anything by Barry Meadow is top notch just for the math alone.

Good Luck

FWIW, The Smart Money is more of a personal diary that was tweaked into a semi-publishable book. Starts off pretty good then it gets incredibly repetitive after the first few chapters.

Only gambling book I ever read - I'm also interested to discover new ones.
