Exotics Referrences

[bigbrown]

Does anybody know any good referrences (books, articles, pointers to web content) about Exotic Betting, besides Steven Christ's "Exotic Betting" book?

Thank you.

Efficiency of Racetrack Betting Markets (Hausch, Lo & Ziemba)- make sure you have a pot of coffee on when reading! Dry, lots of math, but interesting. I'm just getting into it and there are sections on exotics.

I am surprised to see that this thread have referred to only two books...

Should I assume that there is not really too much Exotics literature around?

[CBedo]

Same answer as always for me. Only three books you need (in no particular order):

1) Crist's Exotic Betting
2) Mitchell's Commonsense Betting
3) Meadow's Money Secrets at the Race Track

PS: I am kind of surprised that such a complex and important topic has only four pertinent books (1)-3) above and the "Efficiency..." ) available ... is this an understudied matter?

There are lots of other books, articles, and posts talking about exoitc betting strategies, but with regards to understanding value and the math behind it, it doesn't change. The math is the math.

Thank you very much Riskman, CBedo and Schag.
