5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide yet to spread betting!, 28 Oct 2003

By A Customer

I was sceptical about this book because authors who use expletives like "definitive" or promise an "insider's guide" usually do nothing of the sort.
But Townend, in what is genuinely the first book of its type, brilliantly explains the basics behind spread betting and offers ideas on how to beat the bookies.
The author is reassuringly honest about his betting history, both good and bad, and his colouful tales of unmitigated disaster with the mortgage money are as entertaining as they are informative.
Since reading this book I have realised where I was going wrong with many of my bets, particularly on golf and football, and have already become more profitable by following his intelligent, simple rules.
I admit I was a sceptic, but Townend's book is every bit as witty, enjoyable and helpful as his publishers promised.
One thing though - it did leave me wondering if Daniel Townend has now made his millions and retired - or whether he's still risking the mortgage every month!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sold Short, 22 Oct 2003

By A Customer

Any book which markets itself as a 'Definitive Guide' must be worth a read now matter how grandiose the title. Furthermore, any book which details a subject on which very little has been published to date, is also worth the purchase price. The problem with Dan Townend's effort, is that it never goes far enough for the regular Spread Bettor. Townend provides the reader with some interesting anecdotes and some useful betting guidelines, but ultimately the book never goes far enough. Although there are references to such topics as the psychology of spread betting, value bets and betting systems, Townend never develops any of the themes in great detail, which left this reader feeling a little short changed.
Although the book must be welcomed, purely as an introductory endeavour, it fails to satisfy the needs of the regular sports spread bettor. However, it is and probably will remain, a must read for any beginner.
