it, sports betting will always provide moments where you’ll feel like a dummy. Being wrong — sometimes badly, terribly, even embarrassingly wrong — is part of
the deal. And sometimes your luck will be so bad, you won’t even be granted the dignity of

sentiment, while true, has never made anyone feel one bit better.)
Sports betting also involves work. Are you ready for it? Anybody can make a bet on

So why do so many of us participate? Sports betting is fun. Not just game-of-
Parcheesi-fun or go-to-the-movies fun. I’m talking about genuine exhilaration. Betting takes what you already love about sports to the next level. When you pick
a winner, it can feel like you’ve solved a seemingly impossible riddle or uncovered
a secret that nobody else knows. When you win a bet that all of your friends said
you were crazy to make, it’s a flavor of elation you won’t soon forget.

about them. I’m not only going to teach you to fish; I’m going to serve you some

But hidden beneath that easy-to-understand crust is the mantle of harder-to-

varsity football team in Texas. I was the complete package: slow, weak, undersized, with almost a complete lack of athletic talent. Lucky for everyone involved,
the coaches were wise enough to keep me far from the field on gameday. But that
gave me a great vantage point for what was about to happen. A surprise win
Memory is tricky, but here’s my version of the events: The Grapevine Mustangs

But good bettors

missed in yesterday’s lost bet. When you spot those missed clues, your brain will
whisper, “You’re a dummy!” Try not to listen to that pesky brain. If you’re about to step tentatively into the sometime mystifying world of sports
wagering, you must first understand one truism: No matter how long you work at
it, sports betting will always provide moments where you’ll feel like a dummy. Being wrong — sometimes badly, terribly, even embarrassingly wrong — is part of
the deal. And sometimes your luck will be so bad, you won’t even be granted the dignity of
merely being wrong! Often the bettor is done in by factors he or she has no control

Often the bettor is done in by factors he or she has no control

thrown by your fellow human beings at the worst possible times. Suffering bad
beats (when the team you bet on gets an unlucky break, or somehow snatches
defeat from the jaws of victory) is also a part of this hobby. You must accept them
and move on as quickly as possible hoping that it all “evens out in the end.” (That
sentiment, while true, has never made anyone feel one bit better.)
Sports betting also involves work. Are you ready for it? Anybody can make a bet on
a “hunch” and win a few bucks and have some laughs, but this isn’t something
you can dabble at if you expect to be consistently good at it. You’ll need to study

You’ll need to study
the sports betting marketplace, get comfortable with betting strategies and odds,
find ways to research teams and players, and learn to keep good records. It takes
time, patience, and no small amount of courage. (Did I mention those bad beats?)
So why do so many of us participate? Sports betting is fun. Not just game-of-
Parcheesi-fun or go-to-the-movies fun. I’m talking about genuine exhilaration. Betting takes what you already love about sports to the next level. When you pick
a winner, it can feel like you’ve solved a seemingly impossible riddle or uncovered
a secret that nobody else knows. When you win a bet that all of your friends said
you were crazy to make, it’s a flavor of elation you won’t soon forget.

tolerance for risk could pursue bets through offshore casinos. Thankfully, in this
modern age, there are now a handful of states and Canadian provinces that permit
sports betting. So if you’re traveling to one of those regions, or if you’re like me
and you maintain an account with an online bookmaker, this is the book for you. About This Book

I’ll talk about the most common bets, the point spreads, the

opening an account with an online bookmaker, and I’ll show you how to read the
menu of bets available at a casino or online bookmaker. I’ll then show you how to
recognize good bets and walk you through the process of placing a wager. My goal
is to help you understand what you’re up against, how you lose, and hopefully,
how you win. Then I’ll go sport by sport and talk about what it means to handicap
a game, pick a winner, and bring home the bacon over the long run. Las Vegas sports books have had

also build a foundation for you to find your own. I will help you learn how to interpret the betting market and how to assess betting propositions logically and

of lessons and can be proud of yourself for that. But I also want to provide you
with actionable intelligence. I’m holding nothing back: If I know a profitable
approach to betting (like betting the home favorite the day after a double-header),
I’m going to tell you about it. If I’ve learned bets to avoid, I’m going to tell you
about them. I’m not only going to teach you to fish; I’m going to serve you some
delicious sushi. Gambling has its own private language, and sports betting has a sub-species of
gamble-speak. This, more than the underlying concepts, can often be the biggest
barrier to transitioning from a fan to a financially interested fan. So first and
