This book has mostly rave reviews on Amazon.Com so it could just be me but it is the worst horse handicapping book I have ever read. I am starting to wonder about those reviews on Amazon. Are they shills? Anyway though this could be a good way we could all find about about some good reads or avoid some bad ones.

I think "How to Win" in the title of any book about handicapping is an indication it's not good. I would feel much better about a book entitled "How to Lose Less Than You Might Otherwise."
I liked "Exotic Betting." I'm sure it's basic for most of the seasoned handicappers here, but for a novice like me it was great at explaining how exotic bets are structured. And I liked the anecdotes.
