Books On Gambling

[V3r1f13d]

I'm an avid reader, but for some reason I have never read a book on sports gambling.

Can anyone recommend any good books on betting sports?

Was the book useful? I would think to start I would need a general one (not rules, but tactics), becuase the niche ones would probably get outdated by next year.

i was reading a documentary by Michael Konik, its called The Smart Money. really interesting book. i'm not sure if it is all true or not but its about his experiences in Vegas working for a sporting betting syndicate called the Brain Trust. i think the guy was like a poker player too.

I don't know of a book that gives general overviews that I could recommend. Books on different areas of gambling are out there but you have to stick with books where people who wrote the book are pro's in their trades.
