Average customer review:Product Description
Make sure to check out (www.tuttlerules.com). davidgreene39@gmail.com is where I can be reached. My next book, "So You Think You Can Gamble, on Sports" (which will be pertaining to the "Big-3" of sports gambling); is now available. These booklets, are just that; in the fact that they will only be between 90 to 115 pages in length, always. Hence the low price, even though there's plenty of wording (12,104 in this booklet), and it certainly packs a punch! Although, this book was written with all football bettor's in mind; its teachings are a bit advanced for the Beginner/Novice. The Avid/Advanced football bettor, will absolutely LOVE IT!! The "systems" discussed in this book are absolutely years ahead of their time!

About the Author
Hello, my name (real name) is Joseph J Tuttle. I've always loved the idea of pseudonyms, and I employ them as "odes" to friends & relatives. I'm the proud author of 23 horse and/or sports handicapping books. DISCLAIMER: I'm NOT a professional writer! I have been a professional handicapper for over 15 years. I would strongly suggest that you utilize the "Look Inside" feature, or view my writing style @ http://tuttlerules.com, that is my official blog site. My teachings work, and I'm only trying to help others learn how to Win!
Customer Reviews
outdated
this book is already outdated. He mentions a website in here that he relies on a lot. The website does not exist anymore. He also provides his email address, but he doesn't respond to emails. So much of this book relies on the website that he refrences so this book is not worth it. Don't buy it, it's not even well written. It's like John Madden wrote it. He gives some good advice on bankroll but overall, this book is not worth the price.
I'm dumber after reading this
This book is full of errors showing a complete lack of understanding of sports betting in general.
For example, on page 23, the author compares a player's advantage in betting an NFL team at -5.5 when the fair line is -6, and concludes this yields a 1 % advantage. A 6 point-favorite wins by exactly 6 about 4.5%, which translates into a 4.5% advantage over a bet at -6.
On page 35, in explaining how the fair odds on a 3-team parlay are calculated, he explains "quite simple. 3 x 3 = 9 - 1 ... equals 8 to 1 odds. This is so bad, it is laughable that it is published. This mistake is repeated on page 48 "5 team parlays should pay 5 x 5 = 25-1, or 24:1".
Most of the advice in this book is plain awful as well. He recommends hedging often to prevent bad beats. As far as money management, he advocates keeping about half your money at your main book, and suggests Bodoglife. Any decent pro has money spread out between 5-50 books. Bodog deals dual lines, and won't take a large bet from anyone with a brain. No mention is made of either Pinnacle or Matchbook, which are mandatory outs for pros. He also suggests that your average wager size should increase to 10% or more of your bankroll once you have "gotten ahead at least $4000".
Every few pages contains more unsupported conclusions and horrendous advice. Save yourself time and money on this one - there is nothing redeeming in it.
83 pages, thats it
This short book is like reading a magazine article. Not too much in there, just kind of thrown together. How do people make 83 page books?
