Book excerpt: There have been many great books about playing the horses. Most focus on the analytical side of the game - which horse is going to win and why. This book turns that equation around. It's much less concerned with which horse is going to win and a lot more concerned with how you should wager on the race in question. Matt Miller looks at the world differently and this contrarian point of view, though sometimes controversial, has led to betting success. Ten years ago, Matt was not a winning player. But the betting-focused, goal-oriented approach he's developed by following his particular instincts has changed that. In this book, he wants to share his winning approach with others, particularly those bettors who remind him of the player he used to be. Too many horseplayers and sports bettors are their own worst enemies when it comes to setting and accomplishing their goals. A Bettor Way of Thinking serves up a new approach to decision-making with step-by-step instructions, including radical approaches to goal-setting and bankroll management, as well as new techniques for finding value with favorites, playing two tournament entries, and what he calls emotional over-hedging (i.e., playing cash on the side in tournaments). Matt pulls examples from the worlds of games, sports, and even pop culture. His lively takes on nine ball, Rain Man, The Matrix, blackjack, and Wheel of Fortune will change the reader's sense of the relationship between risk and reward for good. And Matt's way of looking at the world has applications far beyond sports betting and gambling. His advice will help you become a better boss, a better employee, a better partner, a better thinker. Whether you are looking to take your gambling game to the next level or for a new approach to life, this book is filled with advice you can use.
