Drawing on academic research, this book explains the various betting forums and techniques available to aid a professional betting strategy for all levels of punters. It covers the wide variety of fixed-odds markets across the world, but also spread betting, pari-mutuel, and Tote betting, and focuses also on the recent explosion of interest in person-to-person betting exchanges.
A bit outdated book but it introduces a lot of the concepts that modern betting introduces with the internet and the large amount of bookies produce. The book is interesting because it is quite old school and it portrays a bit of this mentality.
