It's time to win now! You'll learn how to separate the truths from the myths of sports betting and make money in the real world with practical strategies. The major betting sports are covered with a special emphasis on football, basketball, baseball and hockey, along with concepts, tips, theories and techniques that apply to all sports. In addition to hard-hitting specific strategies for recognizing opportunities and finding value -- money line wagering, buying points, hedging bets, trends versus systems, incomplete rosters, over/under plays, prop bet opportunities, connected wagers, betting games (not spreads) and much more -- you'll learn the mental aspects necessary for winning: keeping records, money management, analyzing wagers, and how to think differently from the average losing gambler. Kochan includes over 50 real-world examples of great bets!
