Sharp Sports Betting
Wong, known for his popular books on blackjack, video poker, pai-gow poker and tournament play, explains many of his theories on money management, betting teasers, totals and other props, comparing the money line vs. the spread and thoroughly examining the home field advantage. He gives experienced bettors a diverse, fresh approach to betting football, with segments on testing specific theories, problems and solutions. And for those looking for a mathematical edge, Wong shows how to apply Poisson (a specific mathematical distribution) and the Poisson distribution, particularly Poisson Props keyed to Super Bowl parlay cards. 386 Pgs.

Win More Lose Less: Maximizing Profits On Nfl Wagering
The author, concentrating on the NFL, gives step-by-step in-depth analyses unseen in any gambling book. Half points, futures, parlays, synthetics, round robins, hedging, middles, the secret that no teaser tout will tell you, the best teaser to play (6,6-1/2 or 7), the stat that determines the pointspread outcome (and how to use it to your advantage), and how to track a sport service live - all designed to pad your wallet. With equal parts of insight, logic and experience, Peszynski shows the reader which traps to avoid and delivers the recipe for NFL wagering success. The author uses data from the last ten years, as well as the last six years (since the inception of the two-point conversion) to document his findings on all of these topics, and much, much more. A must-read for any NFL bettor. 120 Pages Paperbound 2000
