2.0 out of 5 stars There are better books on betting, 19 Aug 2004
By flapjack "flapjack" (Corbridge, UK) - See all my reviews
I was not impressed with this book. I already know quite a bit about betting and as "A professional guide to profitable betting", I expected the book to include a fair amount of detail about strategies for successful betting. Instead, what you get is a succession of very short chapters (most are just 2-3 pages) about different aspects of betting. These do not contain enough detail to be of real use to the serious punter.

I would say that the book is more suited to beginners and, even then, I would not particularly recommend it. The book tries to cover most of the bases, e.g. fixed odds, spread betting, backing versus laying on exchanges etc. but, if you want to learn more about betting seriously, then I think that you would be better off buying several separate books about particular aspects of betting. For example, if you want to know about profitable football betting strategies, then I would recommend books such as Successful Football Betting by Geoff Harvey or Profitable Football Betting by Paul Steele. If you want to know more about the practicalities of serious betting (e.g. risk management, staking strategies etc.) then Joe Buchdahl's book on Fixed Odds Sports Betting is an excellent tool. There are several books on spread betting such as Sports Spread Betting by Dan Townend or Spread Betting - a Football Fan's Guide by Brett Arends that cover the subject in a much more useful and informative way than this book.

The book isn't useless but, overall, I think that your money is better spent elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A winner, 10 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This book is that rare combination - both informative and entertaining.

It is also unsual for a betting book in that it is written by an acknowledged international expert - a man who has mastered the theory and put it into practice.

This is a genuine winner.

Well done, Prof!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, 14 Mar 2005
By A Customer
This is a great read. Fun and insightful, and written by someone who obviously loves what he does and does what he loves.

Short-listed for the William Hill/Inside Edge Gambling Book of the Year, 2005, which is no less than it deserves.

Buy it.
