About this listen
The sports gambling book you can bet on.
Sports betting combines America's national pastime (sports) with its national passion (gambling). In the US, more than a third of the population bets on at least one sporting event every year. With the recent lifting of the federal ban on sports gambling, states are pushing legislation to take advantage of the new potential source of revenue.
The best sports betting books are data driven, statistically honest, and offer ways to take action. Sports Betting for Dummies will cover the basics, as well as delving into more nuanced topics. You'll find all the need-to-know information on types of bets, statistics, handicapping fundamentals, and more.
- Betting on football, basketball, baseball, and other sports
- Betting on special events, such as the Superbowl or the Olympics
- Money management
- Betting on the internet

In The Smart Money, Michael Konik takes listeners behind the veil of secrecy shrouding the most successful sports gambling operation in America, to its innermost sanctum. He reveals how they, and he, got rich by beating the Vegas lines and, ultimately, the multi-million-dollar offshore betting circuit. He details the perks and perils of a lifestyle in which staking inordinate sums of money on the outcome of a game, sometimes as much as $1 million on a single event, is a normal part of doing business.

It's also a shifting game. Nowhere is this more evident than in the statistical revolution which has swept through the pastime in recent years, bringing metrics like WAR, OPS, and BABIP into front offices and living rooms alike.

Daniel Barbarisi quits his job as the New York Yankees beat writer for The Wall Street Journal and begins a quest: to join the top 1 percent of Daily Fantasy Sports ("DFS") players, the so-called "sharks", and figure out whether DFS is on the level - while maybe cashing in along the way. DFS is fantasy sports on steroids. It's the domain of bitter rivals FanDuel and DraftKings, online juggernauts who turned a legal loophole into a billion-dollar industry by allowing sports fans to bet piles of cash constructing fantasy teams.

A dazzling account of one of America’s greatest sports sagas, Showtime is packed with indelible characters, vicious rivalries, and jaw-dropping, behind-the-scenes stories of the players’ decadent Hollywood lifestyles. From the Showtime era’s remarkable rise to its tragic end - marked by Magic Johnson’s 1991 announcement that he had contracted HIV - Showtime is a gripping narrative of sports, celebrity, and 1980s-style excess.

Good Info, Horrible Narrator
I'm a quasi-experienced horse bettor and have placed straight up wagers on some sporting events in the past (mostly football) and wanted to know more about the ins and outs of sports betting. This book was perfect for what i was looking for, but there are some definite downsides.
1. I've tried listening to financial self-help books in the past, and was put off by the reading of tables of information. Just too hard to follow without seeing the actual table. There are many instances in this book where the narrator reads lists of information from a table and it puts me to sleep. Although it's necessary, it severely cuts into the absorption of the theory. I'm sure in written form, it would be significantly better, but it just isn't suitable for an audio book.
2. On top of the #1, the narrator has the annoying habit of pausing ever-so-briefly every three or four words. Hardly a full sentence is read in its entirety without a hesitation or two thrown in. VERY distracting!
3. Quite a bit more than necessary level of pontificating. I KNOW gambling can be a problem for people, and I KNOW gambling is illegal in some states, so a brief disclaimer at the beginning of the book would have been sufficient to check the box. No need to take up valuable time trying to be the little birdie on my shoulder warning me about these possible pitfalls more than that.
That said, there are a lot of good, simply-explained concepts in this book that I found valuable to understand. I would highly recommend this book, but not in audio format. In hard copy, I would be able to read it "normally" and could skip over the preaching about addiction and breaking the law.
