This informative and engaging book is the first comprehensive exploration of the evolution of bookmaking, including the legal developments and technological advancements that have taken place over the years.

The world of gambling on sports is a controversial and provocative place.  Author Oliver Jones has written a neat book entitled SPORT GAMBLING 101. It is an educational, tell-it-like-it-is work of research. What to do, how and where to do it, and what not to do, are fully described in this user-friendly reference guide.  With facts, details, opinions, and anecdotes, its simplicity and honesty make it unique from the competition.  This book is written for the novice who wants to learn, the pro who wants to refresh, as well as the addict who needs help and wants to quit.  Learn more about the gambling industry and the sportbooks and how they operate.  SPORT GAMBLING 101 is a must-read for any gambler, sports fan, or anyone interested (whether one gambles or not). Its chapters include: 1.  Why Sports Gamble?, 2.  Things You Must Know, 3.  How and Where to Sports Gamble, 4.  ALL Sports: Football * Basketball * Baseball * Hockey, Nascar * Golf * Boxing * Soccer, 5.  General Tips and Strategies, 6.  The Cops, The Refs, The Beautiful Women, 7.  Be Your Own Bookie, 8.  Why Not to Sports Gamble, 9.  Terms and Definitions. Oliver Jones grew up playing and watching almost all sports and he witnessed first hand the explosion of TV sports and sport radio as well as the gambling industry.  He was inspired to write 'Sport Gambling 101' because, while there is a lot written on the casino games such as Poker or Black Jack, there is very little good writing on sport gambling, in the broader picture.  Oliver succeeds in his book in informing the sport gambling public and entertaining the rest of the population.  Reading this book will prove the best bet you will ever make!.
