How to conquer the lucrative high-stakes sports betting arena and win big now!

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2018 quashing of a federal bill that banned betting, sports gambling is spreading across the country and the industry is on the brink of exploding. Budget-strapped states will seek to tap into the formerly-illegal business estimated at $150 billion. But they, like new patrons giving sports wagering a go, must proceed carefully. Along with the opportunities come new challenges. Veteran sports writer and Las Vegas insider Rob Miech shows readers how to win and win big.

“Rob Miech has outdone himself with this poignant, behind-the-curtains revelation of a world of parlays and money-line wagers, of mob-ruled games, and characters named Lem and Lefty. The brilliant storyteller weaves insight from some of the world’s most prominent names in sports betting into a historic, entertaining, and informative journey.”
—Ed Graney, six-time Nevada sportswriter of the year for the Las Vegas Review-Journal
 
The legalization of sports wagering has increased the pot exponentially. But navigating the new systems can be tricky. If you’re a newcomer ready to bet on sports as an occasional pastime, veteran sports writer and Las Vegas insider Rob Miech delivers a vital primer on terminology, options, and procedures. If you’re already taking advantage of the sports betting world as a money-spinning career, he shares the latest approaches and all-new game-changing techniques by tapping the skills, secrets of success, and cautionary counsel of players on both sides of the counter.
 
With behind-the-scenes stories and no-holds-barred interviews with the legendary masters of betting, Sports Betting for Winners shows how, with the right information and a sprinkling of luck, you can capitalize on the numbers behind the numbers and take the bettor’s game to the next level.
 
“Miech gives us the skinny on a billion-dollar business. I'll lay you 9-to-5 you'll feel richer for reading Sports Betting for Winners.”
—Mike Downey, award-winning sports columnist, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times
 
“A book on sports betting for everyone—entertaining, informative, anecdote-filled.”
—Steve Rushin, author of Sting-Ray Afternoons and Nights in White Castle

Praise for Sports Betting for Winners

"Miech gives us the skinny on a billion-dollar (trillion-dollar?) business, particularly pertinent now that Vegas is no longer a forbidden city. I'll lay you 9-to-5 you'll feel richer for reading Sports Betting for Winners."--Mike Downey, award-winning (ret.) sports columnist, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, on Sports Betting for Winners

"I know next to nothing about sports betting. Rob Miech knows plenty and here he is, literally making book on it. He gives us the skinny on a billion-dollar (trillion-dollar?) business, particularly pertinent now that Vegas is no longer a forbidden city for pro sports but rather welcomed by teams and leagues with open arms (and wallets). I'll lay you 9-to-5 you'll feel richer for reading Sports Betting for Winners."--Mike Downey -- award-winning (ret.) sports columnist, Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times

"Rob Miech has written a book on sports betting for everyone--whales and chumps, and those like me who never gambled but will be grateful to hear from a Brylcreemed, suede-loafered cast of characters with names--Roxy, Jackie, Tony the Lizard--the envy of Damon Runyon. Las Vegas sports bettors, like Las Vegas magicians, aren't supposed to reveal their secrets. But Miech has managed a heist worthy of his adopted hometown. He's broken into the vault, sneaked off with the goods, and is eager to share the spoils. The result is this entertaining, informative, anecdote-filled book."-- Steve Rushin, longtime Sports Illustrated writer/contributor, 2006 National Sportswriter of the Year, author of the memoirs Sting-Ray Afternoons and Nights in White Castle
