I highly recommend Elihu’s book Conquering Risk: Attacking Wall Street and Vegas. This book from some reason was always overlooked by the sports betting community in my opinion. Some of the sections are slightly dated, however the process for attacking problems and overall concepts in the book are timeless. The book came out about ten years ago and really progressed my knowledge of sports betting rapidly and I think was instrumental in guiding me down the path of advantage play.
