THE ART OF BETTING ON BASEBALL - opens a new window in sports betting. I get exactly what the author is trying to convey.Insightful and innovative ideas on wagering on baseball.Based on actual results of wagering on baseball games during the course of the 2004 baseball season, one of the most memorable. The author uses strategic comparisons drawn from the "Art of war" and to the actual wager on a baseball game.The author makes a very valid point, baseball is a game of statistics and it collects so many statistics it can make a person give up in confused frustration! The author then explains why pitching and the quality of a teams pitching is "the center of gravity" and the impact pitching has on a baseball game,(like in war) is the focal point of the wager. The author provides pitching statistics useful to the handicapper and the most important statistic of all the "Team Record Behind Starting Pitching - TRSP which provides the tell tale stat of when that particular picther starts how well the team hits behind the pitcher (win or lose),which then provides the indicator to take the over or under or take the team to win or lose - regardles of whether the game is played at home or away!This is the qualiity predicator of a games outcome - forget everything else! It Helped my baseball wagering immensely,all in all very informative and a good read.Also,provides helpful information on money lines,spreads,and the run-lines also includes a review of the best on-line betting sites and web-sites where you can find the best wagering information on games for free! Using the same logic from following the logic of military strategy, and investing following trends and Pitching statistics called "splits" along with the story line of the game previews is enough for the average bettor to come away with a succesful proability of what team will win a ball game or not.If you want to immerse yourself in needless mathematical equations that have as much luck as prediciating the winner of a ball game as that of picking the winner in a horse race then go somewhere else. Great In-sight and innovative ideas to Betting on the great National Past-Time.I really liked it.If you're looking for a get-rich scheme then look else where(and might be looking for a long*long*time, too!).But for the average income gambler like myself you'll make good use of the authors betting theories,money management and discipline guidelines.
