Some of the maths could have been simplified more to make the relevant point.

A little bit more difficult for me being based in the UK to understand the logic that goes into creating lines on the prominent US based sports Baseball/NFL as I don’t really understand/follow those sports I concentrate primarily on Football,Tennis,Cricket markets. However the level of detail/insight on the how lines are created/monitored was second to none. Also as you touched on in the book the In-play markets in Europe are a lot more mature they’ve been around for years the information on the 3rd party feed was also a real eye opener.
Have to say this was the first book I’ve put the effort into writing a review on. if you have any interest in learning about the Sports betting industry as a whole you have to read this book. I’ll be sure to look for more ass bets 🙂 *****

It is telling the author makes a living writing books on how to make money betting, how to make money playing poker, etc rather than actually making money at these activities.
