Insights into Sports Betting (2nd Edition, New & Revised)
An author's experience and level of proven success are vitally  important when you're choosing to read any type of 'how-to' book. In  other words, does the author know what the hell he's talking about?  Bob McCune certainly passes those tests. But just as important , the  all-too-rare-thing Bob McCune brings to the sports betting table is  integrity. If you're looking for 70 percent winners, "lock" bets, or  get-rich-quick progressive betting schemes, you've come to the wrong  place. Bob tells it like it is...Really is. He's paid his dues and  learned his profession, and he reveals in this book precisely what it  takes to be a professional-level sports bettor. He doesn't 'sweeten'  it with claims of easy money or outlandish winning percentages. Making  a living by betting on sports is tough, but this book will help show  you how. This book should be one of the first books in your sports  betting library. --J.R. Miller, professional handicapper, authorI've known Bob since the 1970's.
