Betting on Boxing by H. James
This product was recommended by Robert from Way of Martial Arts
The most comprehensive book that teaches you how to look at the boxing fight from a completely different perspective. The best part of the book is the analysis of the previous fight and how to compare the boxers before the fight.
Monte Carlo or Bust by Joseph Buchdahl
This product was recommended by Joe from Casino Sites UK
This is yet another great sports betting book from Joseph Buchdahl. In Monte Carlo or Bust, Buchdahl shares his knowledge of how variance and probability play a part in any sports bettors career. The main focus of the book is on the statistical forecasting method named the Monte Carlo simulation. In the modern age, data has become extremely valuable, if you know what to do with it. This is no different in sports betting and this book can help you to gather extra data points to analyse.
Betting on MMA by Jason M. Rothman
This product was recommended by Robert from Way of Martial Arts
Based on Buffett’s value investing and gambling theory, Rothman has applied them to MMA betting. In Betting on MMA, Jason Rothman shows you: who your opponent is when you bet on MMA (it is not the house), how to read the odds and handicap fights, when it is profitable to make a bet, specific tools to help predict fights.
The Logic of Sports Betting by Ed Miller
This product was recommended by Emily Matthews from Gentle Dog Trainers
This is a comprehensive book about the logic behind betting in Sports. It’s fun and easy to read. This is best for beginners and includes different strategies and tactics designed to beat the odds. Although the concepts are advance, it was written to be easily understood by ordinary people. Best of all, it was written by two people who had a lot of experience in the betting industry, so you know that their concepts and strategies really work.
Squares & Sharps, Suckers & Sharks by Joseph Buchdahl
This product was recommended by Mark Stephenson from How To Shoe
A really interesting book that deals with gambling, investing, probability and even philosophy. Maybe should come with a warning that it is not for the fainthearted, as Buchdahl himself explains, there are a variety of different reasons that people bet, and if you do it purely for the entertainment, this book may uncover more than you wanted to know. I’ve read a lot of books in this area and this is definitely one of the very best.
