A practical guide to profitable Sports Betting

This unique book is a thorough introduction to sports betting. It has been immensely popular in the Scandinavian countries and in Germany, already selling more than 12,000 copies in three languages. It is now finally also available in English, and it is a must for any sports betting enthusiast who is keen to find out how to actually keep winning at sports betting. 

The author Jorma Vuoksenmaa is one of the world’s leading expert in his field. He has dedicated his life to analysing sports, working for many years as an odds compiler for one of the biggest international bookmakers in London. His scientific and mathematical approach to sports betting over more than two decades has guaranteed him wide international recognition by the industry specialists, including the main Las Vegas sportsbooks.   

The contents of the book are divided into five chapters, including an introductory chapter in which the psychology of games is explored, as well as the most common mistakes made by bettors in their wagers. The second chapter outlines the basics of games theory, while the third chapter concerns itself mainly with the different aspects of individual sporting events, such as football. The fourth chapter, in turn, covers the different types of sports betting opportunities available on the Internet. Finally, in the fifth chapter we will take a glance at the history of sports wagering and speculate as to future developments in the field.

As the title of the book implies this work is primarily meant as a guide. It will tell you how to place a bet, identify the most advantageous fixtures and events, and determine the appropriate amount to bet on each individual event. The guide also includes a thorough analysis of the different ways in which odds are determined for different sporting events. The chapter on games theory will clarify terms such as overpriced odds and payoff percentages, among other things. Other features in the guide include a comprehensive breakdown of such diverse types of wager as the single, match bet and index-based wager, and their possible utilisation. The Internet affords bettors from all around the world the opportunity to place wagers with foreign bookmakers, something that this work will also cover extensively. Net-based wagering will undoubtedly become even more efficient and safer in the future. Millions change hands already and it seems evident that the most skilful players will enjoy unique opportunities, as wagering establishes itself across the board on the net. A golden age with regard to wagering seems to beckon.

This guide will enable novices to approach their wagers in new ways while simultaneously affording more experienced bettors the means to improve on their skills and results.

This book is primarily a guide in how to succeed in sports betting. It is important to remember that every bettor, the novice as well as the professional, can improve their wagering skills.

In addition, we will present a survey of the most popular sporting events from a betting perspective. We will provide answers to the following queries: How important is the home field advantage in football? Which is the more crucial factor in Formula One racing, the car or the driver? How does one place wagers on the World Cup in football?

A separate chapter will also deal with the ethical issues associated with gambling and wagers. One of the intentions of this guide is the furthering of a more enlightened betting culture. Gambling addictions do unfortunately exist, which is why we have devoted the issue a chapter of its own. Occasionally a criminal element will also be attracted to sports events in the hope of quick gains from fixed matches.

Gambling addictions and benders are real enough, although marginal phenomena. For most people, betting remains a fun and rewarding hobby. It develops our analytical skills while spicing up cherished sporting events. Sports wagers can also be financially lucrative. How many sailing enthusiasts or theatregoers can say the same about their hobbies?

The glossary at the end of the guide contains and explains all the terminology used throughout the book. The guide also contains funny and often bizarre quotes and stories from the world of betting.
