"You Can Bet On It" by Larry Grossman covers the basics of handicapping from money management to the important factors to pay attention to when making a line or placing a bet.It has brief chapters on most sports along with articles on why people make mistakes in betting and so on.It is not too statistical and it is fairly easy to read without being boring. King Yao's book goes into a lot more detail and gives a lot of statistical data on various betting markets such as NFL 1st halves,NFL season wins and MLB totals.If you are fairly familiar with betting and handicapping in general I would say King Yao's book is well worth a read. These books along with others came up picked up at Amazon.com or at highstakes.co.uk

In Grossman's book he throws out a stat that I am hoping to verify. He talks about the power of hitting 60% and those who claim that percentage over the long haul are BS. So the statement is this, if you start with $1,000 and make one bet a day at 10% of your bankroll per bet. Hitting 60% overall, after 2000 bets your 1K turns into 550 Billion dollars. My assumption is his math is correct or he wouldn't print it. I understand betting 10% per bet is super aggressive and this is a hypothetical but I'm curious if the math is correct...

I got 5, I'm not trying to be a smartass but if you need a book on gambling, and think they're gonna be informative, you probably shouldn't be gambling..it's all about money management..there's a guy on here that does pretty good on nba..he posted yesterday..i'm not on this forum enough to know how to track him down, but long story short, I liked the suns yesterday and he liked the Celtics..i laid off the bet because his percentage is pretty good..the suns won..now if I was to write a book, my first chapter would be,"DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE ELSES PICK AND DON'T READ ANY PREVIEW OR PREDICTIONS,LOL..good luck
