Feustel's on-line review: "5 stars Excellent text for intermediate to advanced gamblers There is a learning curve one must suffer through before they have a chance to be a professional sports gambler. If you have done your homework for a year studied your math and want to get better this is an excellent text. It is very math heavy but if you are not willing to wade through the details you really should not be in sports gambling the golden information rarely gets published. This book has the gold -- including thorough analysis of NFL teasers the value of NFL point buying and solid money management advice there are other topics as well but these are most recognizable by intermediate sports bettors. Additionally the handicapping analysis of turnovers pp. 94-95 is worth the cost of the book alone if you do your own handicapping. Although it is an exceptional text it is not for beginners." Oversize Softcover. 9" wide by 11" tall. Bound in the original blue printed wraps with a black plastic comb binding.
