Check out Bob McCune
Bob passed away 2 years or so ago but his work has always impressed me,
good luck.
Here is an unbiased Review
From Brendan McGovern, From gambling at About.com
The Bottom Line
McCune weaves a very cautionary anthology of stories and strategies for anyone thinking of betting on sports. The lesson: make it your life's work or don't bother betting even one dollar.
Pros
* Establishes foundation of betting rules to live by
* Debunks myths and highlights tendencies of losers
* Explains simple methods of profiting on wagering
Cons
* A little "folksy" at times and very repetitive
* Expensive at nearly $40.00 USD
Guide Review - Bob McCune's "Education of a Sports Bettor"
Like listening to grandpa, McCune rambles at times, but his lessons are timeless and surprisingly sophisticated. His strategies are methodical - aimed at winning at a 57% clip each day for modest gains. Disciplined money management, often ignored by the average bettor, is McCune's highest priority and he demonstrates to great effect the advantage of adhering to a set plan. His unapologetic analysis of the Average Joe and how carelessly he sabotages himself is impeccable and speaks to a history of mistakes that most can relate to. The lesson: sports betting is a legitimate career path to follow but you'll need the discipline to work 12-hour days, everyday, and stay grounded through the ups and downs.
