About the author
My name is Logan Fields and I've been a professional sports gambler for the last 21 years. I wrote about my career in my new book...20/20 Sports Betting. I've been helped quite a bit by other savvy sports gamblers throughout my career, and felt it only fair to give back something to aspiring bettors who are looking to up their game.
Author of Conquering Risk, Elihu Fuestel, wrote "If you can follow his methodology, you're a favorite to win, which is something I rarely say in a review." That's high praise, indeed, from Fuestel, who has probably reviewed more gambling books than anyone and he certainly calls it like it is.
Rather than focus on broad theories of winning, I offer specific examples throughout the book on how I have profited through the years. For example, how I won significantly taking the "field" for first TD scored in NFL games. In baseball, why the run in 1st inning is often a + EV play when stud pitchers are on the mound. In golf, I explain how I often find value by closely monitoring injury reports.

If you ever considered a career in sports betting, or perhaps just want to supplement your income, this is a probably a good starting point. But he warns readers that profiting from sports betting is no easy task, and a significant time investment is required to put yourself in a position to do so. He also describes mistakes he’s made over the years, specifically early in his career, which resulted in stretches where he made no money at all.
My only criticism of the book is that the author didn’t devote enough space to soccer, which I believe is the most heavily bet sport in the world. Guess I’m going to have to wait for the sequel for that. And while he does describe how he would go about beating soccer, he doesn’t provide a lot of detail. His main focus appears to be golf, but also describes how he wins at other sports, such as football, baseball, and a brief section on horse racing.
What makes this book so different from other sports gambling books is that it’s not dry and actually a very entertaining read. Believe it or not, I actually laughed out loud in certain spots. And even non-sports bettors will find much of his material entertaining, such as his chapter on Jeopardy wagering strategy.
Sometimes he makes a mistake, or leaves something out of an analysis. This is common with the prop carpet-bombing approach -- it's more important to look at and price lots of markets than to perfectly price only a few. Most wining bettors follow this approach -- "I don't always have to be right, just right most of the time". There are a few examples in his book where he identifies possible mistakes in his analysis, and retrospects on how to improve.
The book reads well with lots of anecdotes and specific examples of bets, and the action sequence where things went as predicted (even for the reasons predicted) and some where things did not go well. In addition to talking about gambling, this is his story of how he developed (and how things have changed over time).
The ideal reader for this book is a new bettor who wants to win, but hasn't ever put a lot of thought or work into his craft -- your typical recreational bettor with a desire to improve. If you can follow his methodology, you're a favorite to win, which is something I rarely say in a review.
If you are an experienced winning player you won't learn much new about gambling that you will use. You might be able to nitpick some methods or risk management, but you will be entertained by this well-written and well-edited book.
