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 Successful Matched Betting written by Geoff Harvey and published by Aesculus Press Ltd. This book was released on 2002 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matched betting has been the quiet phenomena (although now highly publicised) of betting. It now accounts for an incredible £45m a week and is rising inexorably. Geoff Harvey, author of Successful Spread Betting and Successful Football Betting, has compiled the first-ever guide to describe the opportunities and pitfalls of electronic one-to-one gambling. Successful Matched Betting is a clear, concise yet comprehensive guide to the most modern, low-margin form of betting available. The author succinctly explains why anyone who bets simply has to discover the potential of matched betting. He details the basics and then goes on to explore the many areas where strategies can be applied to maximise returns. As the bookmaker is acting much more transparently as a broker there is no 'us and them' mentality much prevalent with ordinary fixed-odds bookmakers, so the angle is quite different from other books of this nature. The contents are arranged under key principles of matched betting. While it features examples from all sports, they are presented so that the reader gains a clear grasp of the principles underlying this most modern form of betting - and, most importantly, how to do it well. The emphasis is always towards the potential of matched betting over fixed-odds in whichever sphere is chosen.
