This review is from: Calculated Bets: Computers, Gambling, and Mathematical Modeling to Win (Outlooks) (Paperback)

This book has no clue what it wants to be. At some points it’s a book on betting on jai-alai, or a book on parsing web pages, or an explanation of why Microsoft is evil, or why statistics work the way they do, or how to improve betting strategies, or a biography, or…

It’s clear that the author spent a lot of time on this. It’s also clear that if you wish to bet on jai-alai you must buy this book before boxing up those trifectas. However, if you want an insight into how to model statistical data, this is not a good place to start. If you want to understand betting systems, this is not a good place to start. In fact, it’s not really a good place to start for much.

Pity really, as it can be a good read in places, and it had the potential to be brilliant, but it just seems a little disjointed. Gets 3 stars for effort and easy writing style, would have been more if any of it had connected up in the right order…

Evading the subject, 17 May 2004
By 
Malcolm Smith (North Wales, UK) –
(REAL NAME)
  

This review is from: Calculated Bets: Computers, Gambling, and Mathematical Modeling to Win (Outlooks) (Paperback)

I bought this book on recommendation from an associate who is trying to use it to make a software model for UK Horse Racing. Given that I use a home-brewed software model for myself which used advanced calculus techniques to process all the data points I thought that I would read this book to compare notes and to see if the author has something that we could employ.

Sadly not. The most interesting part of the book is the description of Jai Alai (the Basque sport which is played on an overstretched squash court and with baskets on the players’ arms to catch and fling the ball back).

The description of that sport is brilliant and I learned something new. However, the rest of the book is a disappointment.

The author is supposed to be a professor in computer science in New York university. His opinions (nay, rants) on various topics concerning computer science don’t belong in this book. We want to know how he got his data, how he processed it using what sort of mathematical processing techniques he used.

All I seem to have worked out is that the professor of the computer science department is unable to write much in the way of code. His rambling diversions on Obfuscurated C competitions only serve to confuse those who haven’t met this stuff before. I, who have come across this before, just filed this all away as pointless diversions.

What I found really dangerous with this book is that professor didn’t seem to explain once the theory of probabilities; particularly addressing the very important topic of losing runs. In one part of the book he described how he staked almost all of his betting bank on night’s games.

This is no way to run a gaming system. Clearly this man has no idea of how to survive and putting across ideas like this is nothing short of dangerous. In the end of the book he said that he hit a losing run (as will any system statistically) and then he turned off the machine.

The author has written a hodge-podge of a book. The bits which I am interested were glossed over. Bits which may or may not have been used in his model were introduced. For example, we read about neural networks in a couple of pages. Nowhere did he give the basic and elementary workings of a neural net. Did he use one? We don’t know?

What about his mapping techiques for his data? Did he use those, if so how?

How did he enumerate the values (or ratings) of the Jai Alai players to make his selections? This wasn’t clear.

The bit at the back of the book where he gives a (very edited) betting diary convinced me one thing; never to try to bet off-course in the USA at all. Thank goodness we in the UK are a little more switched on when it comes to on-line bookmakers and, above all, the book has totally convinced me not to bother to get a post-graduate degree at New York university.

This book isn’t a good investment at all.

This review is from: Ultimate Online Roulette System: Advanced Winning Techniques for the Tax Conscious Casino Gambling Investor (Paperback)

This book is not the best roulette book I have ever read, it lacks the suave and professionality of other roulette books. However, its only redeeming quality is that the system provided within it, strangely worked for me. I have read countless gambling books that promised the world and only provided an interesting read. This book has been the first simple and practical book I have found that gives advise that when I applied to my Victor Chandler casino account roulette strategy, worked a treat. The author seems to be a practical guy, not wasting much time over the flowery details normally embellished by other more professional authors of this genre. You will find no personal stories here, no anecdotes no humour no history, no casino fashion tips, simply a great system for earning a daily living from online roulette.

I strongly advise you NOT to buy this book before you acquire the original 'How to win at online Roulette' <p>This book further clarifies the system in the original book. This system is no joke. But nothing, I repeat NOTHING in gambling is failsafe. You WILL lose money, the author stress this often and hence you need disposable income, not your bread and butter money.

Ultimate Online Roulette System, 6 Oct 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Online Roulette System: Advanced Winning Techniques for the Tax Conscious Casino Gambling Investor (Paperback)

Quite a lot of money, for not to much extra info on the original book. I strongly advise you NOT to buy this book before you acquire the original ‘How to win at online Roulette’

This book further clarifies the system in the original book. This system is no joke. But nothing, I repeat NOTHING in gambling is failsafe. You WILL lose money, the author stress this often and hence you need disposable income, not your bread and butter money. He also resolutely advises against gambling if you are not debt free.

If you can cope with the above requirements (not many of us qualify) I believe you can make money using this system, If u do not qualify financially, you are taking risks by gambling at all. This is not a get rich regardless scheme. I also feel the author only takes you as far as he can. Practice for free at your online casino as much as possible before risking your own money.

Ultimate Online Roulette System, 10 Oct 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Online Roulette System: Advanced Winning Techniques for the Tax Conscious Casino Gambling Investor (Paperback)

Further to my above review, I now believe most if not all online casino’s I’ve visited appear to have adapted their machines to counter this, and many other systems.

In short (and not wanting to bring defamation on the bookies) I’ve found almost zero randomness on all roulette machines online & FOBT’s, as they are becoming ‘super adaptive’ and basically play ‘away’ from your bets.

Betting on Betfair, 1 April 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Winning on Betfair for Dummies (Paperback)

If you have even a passing interest in Betfair then this is the book for you! It won’t tell a seasoned Betting Exchange pro much that they didn’t already know but as an introductory guide to the opportunities available on the betting website it is invaluable.

Whilst the first half of the book tells the reader little that they cannot pick up for free in the help files of the Betfair website the second half is another matter. Indeed, from a seasoned Betfair trader’s point of view the real meat in this book is contained in the final two sections through which the author, Jack Houghton, steers the reader through the wealth of opportunites available to anyone interested in making a full time living from the website.

‘Winning on BetFair’ is a good book – a little short perhaps, but nevertheless I’d recommend it, if only for its great anecdotal stories, hints/tips and the section ‘Diary of a Pro Punter’ which outlines the typical daily routine of a professional trader.

There is a lot more to Betfair than simply backing and laying horse or football teams and this book acts as a good taster to its wealth of content and gambling opportunity.
