Book overview

"Rob Miech has outdone himself with this poignant, behind-the-curtains revelation of a world of parlays and money-line wagers, of mob-ruled games, and characters named Lem and Lefty. The brilliant storyteller weaves insight from some of the world's most prominent names in sports betting into a historic, entertaining, and informative journey."
-Ed Graney, six-time Nevada sportswriter of the year for the Las Vegas Review-Journal

The legalization of sports wagering has increased the pot exponentially. But navigating the new systems can be tricky.

With behind-the-scenes stories and no-holds-barred interviews with the legendary masters of betting, Sports Betting for Winners shows how, with the right information and a sprinkling of luck, you can capitalize on the numbers behind the numbers and take the bettor's game to the next level.
