Education of a Sports Bettor

Rating:
Summary: Boring read, bad poetry, useless advice
Review: This is a book about sports gambling. It is supposed to provide the reader with an education, equipped with which he or she can finally beat the bookmaker. In a word it is horrible. The book is poorly written and it was a real struggle to force myself through the text. The chapters are littered with bad attempts at poetry.

Although there may be one or two useful points, they are buried under a massive proliferation of obvious statements, paragraphs that lead nowhere and gushings of "Bob's Law", an example of which reads "Just when you're getting ready to call your bookie, someone always calls you".

The book is ring bound and the presentation is very shabby. Although there are few things that are blatantly incorrect, I cannot find any redeeming attributes which would lead me to recommend this book.
