worst book I ever read
Not too long ago I paid $24.95 plus tax on Crist's Exotic Betting. I found it garbled, unreadable and a total waste of time. I cannot give specific criticisms since there was nothing there of any substance. Am I alone in this opinion?

No...the books I like the best are by Quinn especially the New Expert Handicappers...also Scotts How Will Your Horse Run Today. What can you suggest by Heller? Thanks for your interest. Matt

I suggest you try again. I just finished it. I thought it was everything you didn't. I admit, some of the stuff was a little elementary.........but I thought some of the stuff on pools was great.
Garbled? Unreadable? were you drinking?  I didn't think it was garbled or unreadable at all. In fact, I thought it was an easy read.....blew through it overnight

Drinking??? No, however..maybe I should have had a belt before I opened it...It mighta helped but...putting that all aside....yes Im gonna give it another try. 
Im not into swimming since it's freezing now so Ill skip the part about pools until...perhaps this June or July
Thanks Ralph

After you read something by Heller you'll nominate Crist for the Nobel Prize.
