Instead of the usual half-baked schemes one usually encounters in books of this nature this is a personal account of how the author maintains a modest success rate in beating the bookie when gambling on football. It assumes some knowledge of gambling already so it is not really a beginners guide. As much a discussion in the psychology of winning and scoring goals as of the various methods used to make money, this book is interesting in itself to football fans as well as to gamblers and might help to make those of us who do like a wager on the beautiful game a little more successful in our endeavours!

A first hand account of betting to survive...  |
Back in the early 90s, Nick Morden, a well known and respected racing journalist set out to discover whether making a living from betting was possible. This is not a "How to" type of book, but a day to day account of his experiment over six months. Above all, he gives the reader a clear picture of the reality of gambling for a living, documenting the ups and downs, and the traps that one can fall into. Another lesser known aspect of the professional gambler is shown, that is the loneliness of this chosen profession where very often your only friend ,and your worst enemy is your own judgement.Making money from backing horses is no easy ride, but Nick emerges triumphant. This is a delightful book, written well enough for the reader to feel as though he is standing alongside Nick to share the hope, the pain, and the glory. A fascinating insight into the emotive issues of becoming a professional player.
