I’ve gambled sports for a profit for a while. It’s cool to see a forum here get added on this topic. If anyone is serious about sports betting, not just betting the homer or trying to get lucky etc and wants to start quality discussions on sports betting I’m game.

Anyways, the books I’ve read which cover Sports betting and enjoyed.

Sharps Sports Betting – Stanford Wong: This is my favorite book on the topic and is the most comprehensive and helps readers learn to think like a sharp.

Also a couple books which had sections on sports betting and had some good value to me where:
Gambling for a Living – David Sklansky
Getting the Best of it – David Sklansky.

Recently, a new book on gambling math has been released: "Probability Guide to Gambling: The Mathematics of Dice, Slots, Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack and Sport Bets".
