Another one that I really enjoyed but some will disagree.

Will vouch for both. Also liked Bobby Smith's (Sports Reporter posted in the CM Service thread every football season) "How to Beat the Pro Football Pointspread" for some quality data.

The Odds was a great book...Konik's pretty good too........believe it or not, Stu Feiner's book is pretty good too (I forget the title) ....if you want a laugh, read Lang's book (if, if fact, he actually wrote it)...
Best gambling/biography ever is Minnesota Fats' "The Bank Shot."
