CONSUMER ALERT: DOES THIS NEW SPORTS BOOK KEEP ITS PROMISES? MARC LAWRENCE EXPOSES THE TRUTH.

By Marc Lawrence

In the introduction to his new book Real World Sports Betting: How Real People Make Real Money in the Global Sports Marketplace Kevin O’Neill makes a big promise. Kevin says that his goal is “to make the moneymaking tactics and profitable strategies of professional gamblers available to hobbyists and weekend warriors”. Frankly, this immediately raised my eyebrows.

Now I know Kevin and he certainly knows how to make money betting on football and other sports. But to deliver the highly guarded techniques of people who make their living by speculating on the outcome of sporting events to the average bettor is a meaty pledge. But Kevin O’Neill delivers on his promise in impressive fashion. Real World Sports Betting is book that must be read by any sports bettor. From the seasoned professional to the rank beginner, every sports enthusiast will come away with clever, useful, and in some cases, easy ways to win money betting on football and other sports.

Sports Betting’s Golden Era: Kevin correctly points out, “in the past decade sports betting opportunities have increased a thousand fold for the average bettor, and that’s no exaggeration.” He points out which of these opportunities are most profitable, and which ones should be avoided. He tells why football has some of the best opportunities you’ll find all year long.

Key Message: You Can Do It: O’Neill’s message to those who consider sports betting to be difficult to beat is one of empowerment. He offers concise handicapping and wagering strategies that are simple, yet powerful. He points out “I know people who, quite frankly, are of very average intelligence who either make or seriously supplement their living betting on sports. There is no reason that you can’t do the same.” Importantly, he also writes about keeping sports betting in perspective and making it a part of a well-rounded life. The goal for most players should be “betting like a pro without reducing the time spent on your family and career.” The focus on using your time wisely is important. In fact, there are profitable strategies outlined here that one can use in less than five minutes a week.

It is impossible to touch on all the powerful factors O’Neill discusses in this short overview, but a few of my favorites include:

The Most Important Factor: In a single sentence, Kevin shares a simple secret, one that you’ve likely never seen anyone reveal ever before, that is absolutely profound. I can’t imagine that one in 1,000 sports bettors has this thought before making a bet. I also can’t imagine that putting this simple, yet powerful factor to use wouldn’t greatly improve the bottom line of any sports bettor.

Non-Sports Specific Factors: The book covers more football than anything else, with some substantial basketball instruction as well. But it points out that the keys to winning at sports betting are universal. Kevin points out that while you’ll likely be more involved in your favorite sport or two, we are surrounded by juicy opportunities in largely ignored sports like tennis, hockey, golf, etc. that can be taken advantage of by “anyone with the analytical skills of a fifth grader”.

60-Second strategies: Those who think successful handicapping and betting techniques need to be complex will enjoy the 60-second strategies outlined by O’Neill. “Why didn’t I think of that?” will be a frequent reaction when the bettor reads about “The Donuts and Fries Selection Method”. The “Investment Media Factor” can be true for all sports. “Key Player Angle” is enormously powerful for basketball and more useful more than most realize in football. 60%, 70%, and 80% strategies galore fill this book that involve coaching, personnel, line moves, motivation, etc.

Quick ‘n Dirty Stat Methods: As a serious statistical handicapper myself, I understand the tremendous value in Kevin’s statistical presentations. In football, basketball, and baseball statistics can be at the core of a bettor’s arsenal. There is some unique, never-before-published material in these methods that could change the way that readers bet on sports.

Guaranteed Profits: Famous for his introduction of the Football 401K concept, Kevin takes it a step further by showing some of the most profitable wagering methods, some of which are modeled from Kevin’s study of top-notch Wall Street traders. These methods can provide you with guaranteed profits starting with week one of this football season.

Good Bets vs. Bad Bets: What kind of bets may look good but should be avoided? Steering clear of just a single one of these bankroll busters will more than pay for the price of this book. KO offers the six reasons why futures bets should usually be avoided, while pointing out the occasions when they can be worthwhile. While much of this book is about handicapping, much of these strategies cover critically important betting skills.

Moneymaking Information Delivered With Power and Precision: Those who care about winning will make the small investment to obtain it and then spend a couple of hours with this book. It is obvious that a ton of work went into the presentation of these strategies, that are very strong, targeted profit makers that can be implemented successfully by anyone. I particularly liked the chapter entitled “Low Risk: Insane Rewards”.

You Must Read This Book: As impressed as I am with this book, I want it to get into the hands of as many Playbook Annual readers as possible. Real World Sports Betting sells for $39.95 plus $5 shipping and handling, but we have made special arrangements for Playbook Annual readers to get it for only $29.95 and Kevin will pay the shipping.

Even Better: If you haven’t read Kevin’s first book two books Football Betting: Strategies for the Smart Player and Football Betting’s Cutting Edge, you can get all three of these books for the low price of $59.80 with Kevin again paying the shipping. This is a $109.85 value. You save over $50 when ordering the “Real World Triple Play” package of all three books.

Special Free Bonus: It gets even better. I twisted Kevin’s arm to include his Maximum Profit Football Annual 2004 (sells for $10) as a free bonus for all Playbook readers who order Real World Sports Betting or the “Real World Triple Play” three-book package. This makes the savings even greater.
