The Definitive Guide to Betting on Sports

great value for money - Rated
The first thing you notice when you recieve this book is how big and thick it is, compared with the ammount of money ive spent on similar books they have been very thin. Very interesting read, covers all sports, plus a story of a man who now makes his living on betfair. I have a lot of betting books and like a lot of them you just have to pick out what is useful to you. Even if you pick out one titbit from each betting book that makes money that will pay for the book alone. Good value for money.

Interesting - Rated
Quite an interesting book but a lot of what is said is found in most similar books. It would probabaly be a good book for a starter or intermediate but beyond that it doesn't really tell you anything new.

Top read, top advice - Rated
It's a great betting buddy whatever your preferences. This book covers the lot, every sports betting activity is listed from soccer to golf to horses to tennis with some really practical examples detailed. Sportsbetting is increasing in popularity and this will arm you for the journey. The Racing Post experts are in fine form and its packed with a wide range of options to play with and profit from.

Disappointing, too many cooks. - Rated
Normally I'm a fan of their compendiums, but this fell short of the mark. I don't know what book a previous reviewer read, but I found Kevin Pullein's Football Masterclass chapter to be long-winded and trite. He obviously gets paid by the word! Some of the other chapters were decent enough but the whole package felt disjointed. Best avoided.

Worth a read for punters of all levels - Rated
There are 39 chapters in this book - each chapter a seperate article - and most feel like they've been previously published in a newspaper or magazine and compiled together here. The tone varies a bit - but it blends together OK.

There are 13 chapters on general betting methods and styles, 8 on football, a few misc chapters and the last 15 chapters take a brief look at all the other popular sports.

This book has got plenty of good advice - aimed at different levels - and I learnt some new information from it. articularly useful was Chapter 15 - Kevin Pullein's Football Masterclass with a series of tables for comparing opponents based on league standings and then how to compare across several betting styles looking for best profits. I suspect this chapter was specifically written for this book as it's 20+ pages long.

It's an interesting idea - and one that I've already put to good use in the last fortnight - to find better value at my online bookmakers.

Overall - this book was a good read - and the short chapters are useful to re-read and go over if you've got a spare 10-15 minutes.

I think that this book will make you a better punter. Buy yourself this book for Xmas holiday reading.
