2.0 out of 5 stars Basic introduction to spread betting, 12 Sep 2003

By	"www_soccerspreads_com" - See all my reviews

This is rather dated now (written in 1998) and the first half of the book is given over entirely to describing the theory of spread betting and the individual markets on offer. The author does eventually give some half decent examples of how to identify value in certain situations but I did not agree with all his recommendations and overall I found this book rather disappointing. Serious spread bettors would probably find little to interest them and in my opinion there are better books on the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very hard to read- even harder to win with, 14 Jul 2001

By	nick7777777708@go.com (England) - See all my reviews

I think this has to be the most basic book about spread betting i have ever come across.If you know a little or a lot about spread betting,this ones NOT for you.If you dont know what spread betting is,then buy this.But it wont win you anything.This book basically tells you obvious things that most gamblers know.It also shows that the author knows little about spreads.Because of the ever changing spread betting world(companies taking over each other) for instance,makes this book out of date.This book does not give any 'tips' or 'tricks' just basic info that most people are aware of.If you want a book which shows you strategies and formulas to help you have the edge over the bookies buy The Complete Guide To Football Betting(Feist & Sturgeon).It helps you understand American Football in every way and as long as you watch a lot of it and understand odds you cant go wrong.It meybe dearer but in the long run boy is it cheaper!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on spread betting that I've read, 6 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This is really a textbook on spread betting - how it works, how to open an account, the markets offered on sports, politics and financial markets, and how to play them. I know there's not too many books written on spread betting, but in a small field this is definitely the best I've come across, more comprehensive and thorough than the others, and a good reference guide over all the markets. Definitely good value...
