As I mentioned on Thursday, Tommy Rider and I visited the world-famous Gamblers Book Shop here in Las Vegas on Wednesday to help get us ready to make football picks this season. I personally picked up Phil Steele's ACC & Big East Football Preview because those are the two conferences I specialize in and will be making college football picks in this coming season.
For those of you who don't know him, Phil Steele is the best content provider for football betting information anywhere on the planet. I would highly recommend reading anything he puts out, especially his weekly newsletter during the season. Nobody does it better than him.
I also purchased the Underdog Theorem by Eddie Getz to help me with my NFL picks and will revisit this blog to provide my thoughts on this book when I find the time to give it a good read. Following is a brief summary...
"Written for the sports gambler and non-sports gambler alike, this book presents specific, straightforward steps that can be used to predict events of every NFL season, explains how easy it is to repeat these steps year after year, and provides proof of the strategy's success by listing every pick of the past 15 seasons. Other gambling books tell you about a strategy knowing that the roll of the dice or the deal of the cards can never be repeated, which frees the authors from ever being proved wrong (or right). The author cites Miami's undefeated season of 1972 as the inspiration for his handicapping strategy."
Keep in mind you can also visit the Gamblers Book Shop simply by clicking here. If you are planning a trip to Vegas before or during football season, it is definitely a must-visit destination. I have never seen so many books on gambling, Vegas and the mob all in one place in my life and could have stayed there for hours if Tommy wasnt in such a rush to see the Golden Nugget 
So what are you reading to get you ready to make football picks this season?
