From a detailed look at 'percentages' through to frame betting in snooker, it shows you how to 'price up' any sporting event in the calendar. And it will show you how the Odds Compilers create prices for tournament betting (World Cup—US Open Golf Championship—Wimbledon etc), and inform you of the mistakes bookmakers have made down the years. This publication will change the way you look at betting. You will be playing on a level playing field.....at last!
