Each June and
July, a good stretch before exhibition games begin for the pros
and with plenty of time before the colleges get going, dedicated
football bettors seeking to dust off their ledgers and update themselves
on past spreads, Totals histories and plan ask when "the new stuff
will arrive."
Well, they've
begun arriving.
Al O'Donnell's
Pointspread Playbook (104 pages, paperbound, $19.95) arrived
a week ago at Gambler's Book Shop, with three years of pro spreads,
totals and thousands of potential betting angles.
 Now
Marc Lawrence's Playbook's 2001 Football Handicapper's Yearbook
(248 pages, magazine, $7.95) is in, containing more than 5,000 trends
and angles for both college and pro bettors; 10 years of spreads
and totals; schedules; angles by the week and by the month; angles
keyed to coaches and key boxscore stats from each game played last
year.
There are preseason
angles for the pros; reminders for key games to watch during 2001
for the colleges. Also, Monday night angles and how pro teams do
after a week of rest The magazine also includes l6 pages of college
and pro team analysis; betting angles; information on which college
and pro teams play at home on what type playing surfaces and an
entire pre-season schedule, week by week (Pittsburgh will play at
Atlanta Aug. 3 in the first game).
A big package
of valuable material for $7.95.
Now Football
Action (220 pages, magazine,$6.95) has in its college edition,
what line watchers often seek most. How did the line move day by
day from the time it opened and what did the Totals number do in
the same way? This is course is for those who believe in betting
early or late or for those who just want to see what would have
happened IF they had bet early or late with some theory or angle.
The magazine
starts with all college games played last Aug. 26th and contains
all the college games, then the regular season only pro games from
September to Jan. 28, 200 and the Super Bowl.
Since this is
the Football Action college issue, the focus is on the college
teams, showing the 2001 schedule for each college team; last
