Book Reviews of The Smart Money: How the World's Best Sports Bettors Beat the Bookies Out of Millions

Book Review: Must read for anyone thinking of making sports betting a profession
Summary: 5 Stars

If you think you can beat the Sportsbooks, this is a must read! It does not even attempt to tell you how to make money betting sports, so if that is what you are looking for... this book is not for you. If however you want to get a glimpse of what it is like to play cat and mouse with the bookmaker, I highly recommend this book... especially if you plan on betting over a Dime on your wagers!

This book is more or less a biography of one man's experience at betting big money in a Sportsbook; however it contains insights and behind-the-scenes perspectives that most of us will never see. You are able to get an understanding of how a Sportsbook really works, and the lengths they will take to keep anyone with an edge from winning their money.

I found the book to be a real page-turner. I have a great interest in sports betting, and this was my first inside view of what it is like to be big/smart money. I would describe it as an eye-opener for anyone who thinks they can beat the Oddsmakers at their own game. It is a good read, and I for one highly recommend it to all sports bettors.
