Very Solid Read, July 8 2008
By Frustrated "Honest reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The College Football Handicapper: How to Beat the Spread in College Football (Paperback)
The author gives a very basic and easy to follow book. I consider myself an intermediate capper, but I am always willing to look at things from different angles. What the author does here is bring it back to the basics.Beginners to the game will find this very beneficial. The concepts shown are quite simple and easy to follow. He lists every bet he made and why he made them.
The author though does give himself a bit too much credit when things go his way. He needs to understand the concept of variance (which, looking at his website, hit him hard last year).
Recommended for people looking to start out, or would like some pointers on the basics.

Recommended for anybody interested in college football gambling!, Oct 21 2007
By Aileen M. Valdez - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The College Football Handicapper: How to Beat the Spread in College Football (Paperback)
This is the best book I've ever read on handicapping football. It tells you how to make picks against the point spread based on sound statistical analysis. Statistics for 60 match-ups are displayed and the author explains what he looks for in these statistics to pick out point spread winners. The book has pointed me to some winning bets and, just as important, it has kept me from losing money on bad bets that I may have made before reading the book.

This review is from: The College Football Handicapper: How to Beat the Spread in College Football (Paperback)
This book provides some basic concepts that the author expands upon for each of the 60 picks. Each pick is discussed alongside a statistical chart for both teams so that the reader can see which statistics were used to make the pick. The focus is on defense and rushing and the examples provided have helped me improve my winning percentage from 50 to 55%. I especially appreciate the author posting his picks on his website, it gives him a sense of legitimacy and it shows he stands behind the methods of his book.Mark Degge
