Ive bought many a book about horse racing and betting many arent worth the paper they are printed on.
This book is wonderful.
Its small enough to fit into your inside pocket so you can carry it around discreetly, the book covers the calculation and outcome of nearly every type of bet around.
Also has a wealth of bookmaking and betting information, worth the money.

I ordered this book for my dad's birthday and it arrived very promptly indeed. I personally couldn't make 'head nor tail' of it but then again I'm not a betting person! On the other hand, my dad (who clearly is!) was very impressed with it and described it as incredibly useful and very comprehensive.
Listmania!
