- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Book was OK, w a bias towards European research and sports industries by the British author. Not overly mathematical, and ample mention of the origins of betting theory in America. It was an easier read than I thought it would be, an it isn't really going to help you be a more successful gambler. A lot of talk about betting bots on the Internet.
