This is a past-time that requires a lot of research and work, and this book points you towards how to do that. While this book is generally about handicapping, it also includes explanations of different kinds of bets (spreads, over-under, parlays, parlay cards, reverses, teasers) and it describes how the Las Vegas Sports Consultants set their lines each week. Overall this book is well worth it.
