The Logic Of Sports Betting answers all these questions and more with a dash of humor and a whole lot of real talk about how it all works. Peek behind the counter and learn how sportsbooks operate. Combine that insider knowledge with why-didn’t-I-think-of-that sports betting logic, and you have the winning formula. Ed Miller is a best-selling (over 300,000 copies sold) author of books on poker and gambling. This is his first book on sports betting, but maybe his favorite book to write so far. Matthew Davidow is a sports modeler, using proprietary methods to beat major sports betting markets for over 15 years, and co-founding two leading private sports analytics firms along the way. What people are saying about The Logic Of Sports Betting: "Matt and Ed are two of the smartest minds in sports betting." - Rufus Peabody, professional sports bettor "As a sportsbook employee for 30-plus years, I find it difficult to read or watch anything about sports betting. But I could not put The Logic Of Sports Betting down. It’s that good." - Robert Walker, Las Vegas bookmaker amzn.to/2B9gvTo

[@unintentionaleffectiveness4393]

Josh McCown and Robby Anderson were steals second half of the season. Betting on the Jets, not good. Even in the Shonn Greene and Mark Sanchez time with Ryan as the coach. They haven’t been dependable in a long time but a few players almost go undervalued just for being in the jets. It’s like Eugenio Suarez, 3B for the Cin Reds. He is top 3 since he came back from injury and not a lot of people had faith. Just got to look at the numbers and hope you react early enough on the positive trend to catch some winnings. I don’t do betting, draft kings that often but when I do is usually to pay for meals or things on the smaller scale. Taking care of my wife and 3 kids? Idk about that, specially if there’s no signs of it possibly staying. It’s legal now but like with cannabis, we have to wait and see. Those that stick around can make huge money but I don’t gamble with a family. Dude should definitely have a backup plan, that’s why I’m in the stock market.
