He gives his insights on why it's important to know how to watch a game on television, his views on handicapping services, his reasoning for when to be early or late and his insight into fixed games. Both a how-to bet and a history lesson, this book covers how to survive, how to manage your money and how tough it is to sustain a winning percentage and make a living over the long run. 182 Pgs.
