Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "I want to tell you some things that sportsbooks won't tell you."Most sports betting books teach you how to bet. This one does the opposite. It explains how sportsbooks are built, how they make money, and what economic rules run the game - written by Chien Chih Liu, the system engineer who designed the betting transaction system that runs behind sportsbook websites.First published in Taiwan by Business Weekly, the print edition has long been sold out. This edition returns with updated sections and the author's correspondence with readers over the years.The book opens with five stories: The average player, who bets on his team over a morning coffee - and is the only one at the table actually gambling. The sportsbooks, agents, sharp players, and opportunists each have their own way of making money safely, without betting on outcomes. The average player is destined to lose.The impossible election bet: an underground sportsbook offered 8-to-1 on an election and, by the book's math, lost $60 on every $100 it took in - no matter who won.Match-fixing: the logic behind it from a betting perspective, and why uninformed players are the ones who pay.The legalization debate: why underground betting can never be eradicated, why public welfare and prohibition conflict, and why the author argues for legalization.The systems that keep the game alive forever: the three-level agent system, the betting-line commission system, and the betting-line classification system.Then it gets to the heart of the game: the odds.Why odds of 1.82 pay $182 on a $100 bet but only $82 of it is profit - the odds include your principalWhy, in the most common markets, odds never go below 1.00 or above 3.00Why odds are NOT set by sports experts: the sportsbook sets them so it profits no matter who wins - and why a bettor who guesses right six times out of ten still only breaks evenHow hedging can rescue part of your stake when a bet turns bad - even mid-gameYou'll also learn the industry's language as it appears: point spread, juice (the "water" the house takes from every bet), arbitrage, wise guys, patriotic books, traders, and the betting balance sheet the house uses to adjust its lines.Who this book is for: Average players - learn to calculate your return on investment, and understand why losing is the norm, not bad luckAnyone thinking of running a sportsbook - copy others and raise the odds carelessly, and the loser may be you, the bookmakerAnyone curious about the industry - million-dollar risk managers and near-priceless trading software, explained from the insideAnyone who wants to understand the system - how a sportsbook is formed, how many people run it, and what each role does all dayThe author's message is simple: betting is entertainment, like paying for a movie ticket - not a profession, and not a path to riches. In this game, the ones making money are never the players. Understand how the machine works, and you'll never look at a betting line the same way again.Also available in Kindle and hardcover.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Quiero contarles algunas cosas que los sitios de apuestas deportivas no les diran.La mayoria de los libros de apuestas deportivas te ensenan como apostar. Este hace lo contrario: explica como se construyen los sitios de apuestas, como ganan dinero y que reglas economicas hay detras - escrito por el ingeniero de sistemas que diseno el sistema de transacciones de apuestas que funciona detras de esos sitios.Publicado originalmente en Taiwan por Business Weekly (la edicion impresa lleva anos agotada), este libro abre las puertas de una industria que el jugador nunca ve desde dentro.Las cinco historias con las que empieza: El jugador comun: apuesta por diversion camino al trabajo - y es el unico que realmente esta apostando. Las casas, los agentes, los jugadores inteligentes y los oportunistas no apuestan: cada uno tiene su metodo para ganar sin depender del resultado.La apuesta electoral imposible: un sitio ilegal ofrecio 8 a 1 en una eleccion y, segun los calculos del libro, perdia 60 dolares por cada 100 que recibia - ganara quien ganara.Los partidos amanados: que logica hay detras, vista desde el lado de las apuestas, y por que el jugador que no lo sabe es quien paga.El debate de la legalizacion: por que las apuestas ilegales no pueden erradicarse, por que el beneficio publico y esa erradicacion estan en conflicto, y por que el autor apoya legalizar.Las estructuras que mantienen vivo el juego: la estructura de agentes de tres niveles, la estructura de proporcion de lineas y el sistema de clasificacion de lineas.La clave son las cuotas. Aprenderas por que una cuota de 1.82 paga $182 por cada $100 apostados pero solo $82 son ganancia (la cuota incluye tu capital), por que en los mercados habituales las cuotas no bajan de 1.00 ni superan 3.00, y por que las cuotas no las fijan los expertos en deportes: las fija la casa, para ganar sin importar el resultado.Tambien aprenderas el lenguaje del oficio, explicado cuando aparece: spread, juice (el agua que la casa toma de cada apuesta), arbitraje, wise guys, clientes directos, placa patriotica, traders y la hoja de equilibrio de apuestas con la que la casa ajusta sus lineas.Para quien es este libro?Para el jugador comun: aprenderas a calcular tu tasa de retorno y a entender que perder es lo normal, no mala suertePara quien quiere operar o trabajar en un sitio de apuestas: copiar a otros y subir las cuotas sin control puede convertir a la casa en la perdedoraPara quien quiere entrar en la industria: controladores de riesgo con sueldos millonarios y costosos sistemas de trading, explicados desde dentroPara quien quiere entender el sistema completo: como se forma un sitio de apuestas, cuanta gente lo opera y que hace cada rolEl mensaje del autor es directo: apostar es entretenimiento, como pagar por ver una pelicula - no una profesion ni una forma de hacerse rico. En este juego, quien gana no es el jugador. Y la mejor manera de dejarlo es entender primero como funciona el sistema.Edicion en espanol. Tambien disponible en Kindle y tapa dura.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Je veux vous dire certaines choses que les sites de paris sportifs ne vous diront pas. La plupart des livres sur les paris sportifs vous apprennent comment parier. Celui-ci fait l'inverse: il explique comment les sites de paris gagnent leur argent - ecrit par l'ingenieur systeme qui a concu le systeme de transactions utilise derriere ces sites.Publie a l'origine a Taiwan (l'edition papier est epuisee depuis longtemps), ce livre ouvre les coulisses d'une industrie que les joueurs ne voient jamais de l'interieur.Les questions auxquelles il repond: Pourquoi, dans ce jeu, le joueur ordinaire est-il toujours le perdant - alors que les agents, les joueurs astucieux et les opportunistes gagnent sans jamais vraiment parier ?Comment un site clandestin peut-il ouvrir un pari ou, quel que soit le resultat, il perd de l'argent sur chaque mise (le pari electoral a huit contre un ) ?Quelle est la logique des matchs truques, vue du cote des paris ?Pourquoi les paris clandestins ne peuvent-ils pas etre interdits - et pourquoi l'interet public et cette interdiction sont-ils en conflit ?Comment fonctionnent les systemes propres a cette industrie: les trois niveaux d'agents, le systeme de pari de commission et le systeme de pari graduel ?Vous y apprendrez aussi le langage du metier, explique simplement des sa premiere apparition: les cotes qui incluent le capital, le juice (l'eau que le site preleve sur chaque pari), le spread, l'arbitrage, les wise guys, le tableau d'equilibre des paris et le role des traders qui controlent les cotes.A qui s'adresse ce livre: Aux joueurs ordinaires, qui apprendront a calculer leur taux de rendement et comprendront pourquoi perdre est la norme, pas la malchanceA ceux qui envisagent de creer un site de paris - et qui decouvriront pourquoi un mauvais controle des cotes peut faire du bookmaker le perdantAux curieux de cette industrie: controleurs de risques, systemes de trading, et les roles qui font tourner un site au quotidienLe message de l'auteur est clair: le pari est un divertissement, comme un billet de cinema - pas un metier, et pas un moyen de s'enrichir.
