Description

Players learn the inside secrets of betting and winning at football, baseball, basketball, and boxing in this excellent easy-to-read primer. Bettors learn how to read the betting lines, how the lines are formed, the odds in each sport, and how the over/under, teasers, and parlays work. Readers also learn how to read and understand the lines presented in the papers and at the sports books and what industry jargon means. From examples of past events, players learn the inside secrets of winning: the seven basic principles of beating the bookie, how to find the "creases" in the lines so they can bet at a profitable level, how to predict and profit from line changes, why touts must be avoided, and why events like Ali-Holmes and Super Bowl Sunday can be very profitable days for the astute bettor. Billions of dollars are bet on sporting events every year in the United States and Canada alone, and this book shows readers how they can get their piece of the pie.
