Books without Casinos???

I am pretty good at the sports side of this thing but have a tendency to play blackjack and lose what I just won on a game. Are there any reliable books out there that are not tied to a casino/blackjack?

I feel your pain. I have lost a lot of winnings playing Roulette. I haven't found a book yet without a casino, but I have only used 4 or 5 different books.

Not applicable to US residents, but Pinnacle let you shut off the casino part of your account. Not sure if other books do.

if you call the book and tell them to disable your real money play for the casino they most likely will. I know betjamacia does.
