Download or read book The Smart Money written by Michael Konik and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting inside look at the lucrative world of professional high-stakes sports betting by a journalist who lived a secret life as a key operative in the world's most successful sports gambling ring. When journalist Michael Konik landed an interview with Rick "Big Daddy" Matthews, the largest bet he'd placed on a sporting event was $200. Konik, an expert blackjack and poker player, was no stranger to Vegas. But Matthews was in a different league: the man was rumored to be the world's smartest sports bettor, the mastermind behind "the Brain Trust," a shadowy group of gamblers known for their expertise in beating the Vegas line. Konik had heard the word on the street -- that Matthews was a snake, a conniver who would do anything to gain an edge. But he was also brilliant, cunning, and charming. And when he asked Konik if he'd like to "make a little money" during the football season, the writer found himself seduced . . . So began Michael Konik's wild ride as an operative of the elite Brain Trust. In The Smart Money, Konik takes readers behind the veil of secrecy shrouding the most successful sports betting operation in America, bypassing the myths and the rumors, going all the way to its innermost sanctum. He reveals how they -- and he -- got rich by beating the Vegas lines and, ultimately, the multimillion-dollar offshore betting circuit. He details the excesses and the betrayals, the horse-trading and the paranoia, that are the perks and perils of a lifestyle in which staking inordinate sums of money on the outcome of a single event -- sometimes as much as $1 million on a football game -- is a normal part of doing business.

Download or read book The Ultimate Sports Betting Secrets written by A B Lawal and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-24 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About This Book Imagine if you had an Almanac with tomorrow's sports results and events. Imagine what you could do if you knew the outcome before it actually happened. Impossible? This edition teaches you how sports investing works and how you can win consistently from sports betting. Sports has been my life since childhood. I was trying to crunch the code to predict tomorrow's games. In fact, this may sound a little bit like a back to the future fairytale, but I've come as close as I can to the results of Tomorrow's Almanac. During the last 15 years, I've been gathering sports data for Major League sports like Major League Baseball, Nhl Hockey, the NFL football and NBA basketball. I'm crunching the numbers and I'm comparing the stats. I'm analyzing and back testing everything for years and years to crack the sports code and to find those repeating patterns and trends. This makes me understand what makes teams win and what makes teams lose. And you know what I found? I found that history always repeats itself. This is true, especially in sports where the rules are strictly defined. The outcomes in these situations are very predictable. Of course there are lucky strikes and conditions that are impossible to put into perspective. However, those are very small percentages. If you know the past outcome of an event, you can predict the results for the game in similar circumstances with a high degree of probability. As I said before, the past is never a full indication of what will happen in the future and there is always room for surprises, but again, this is what makes sports fun to watch. Am I right? However, what is the chance that a team with similar power and player statistics will produce a similar outcome in a similar game in similar circumstances? What's that percentage? 86.5% that's right. An 86.5% of the cases there will be no surprises and the prediction will come absolutely. Our investing software is the best system in the market because it keeps making investors consistent gains each and every month. Truth is we love sports, but we hate to gamble and that's why we call this sports investing, which is similar to any other trading like stocks, stock options, and forex trades. This is just way more predictable than today's flawed economic models with crisis and bankruptcy events. Every day the software is gathering thousands and thousands of sports data and results: every single event, every single detail, every single player and every single team. I start the simulation with over 80 parameters in the formula to come up with a precise and easy to use prediction and not only tell you who is going to win, but also and most importantly, where the value is, which means more money can be made guessing. So to learn more about how you can create a consistent $1500 monthly from sports betting following my guide, just order this book right now!

Download or read book Squares and Sharps Suckers and Sharks written by Joseph Buchdahl and published by High Stakes. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have been gambling, in one form or another, for as long as history itself. Why? Money, entertainment, escape and a desire to win are all traditional explanations. Arguably, however, these are secondary considerations to a higher order purpose: a craving for control. Gambling offers a means of gaining authority over the unknown, granting us a sense of control over uncertainty. Almost always that sense is illusory - gambling, including betting and investing, is essentially random - yet for many it is nonetheless profoundly rewarding. This book attempts to explore the reasons why. Along the way, it examines: The science of probability and uncertainty Why gambling is often condemned The difference between expectation and utility The irrationality of human beings Evolutionary perspectives on gambling Luck and skill Market efficiency and the wisdom of crowds Why winners take all Cheating Why the process matters more than the outcome
