FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"Sports
Investing” Book Hits # 1 in its Category
DURHAM, NC
– April 12, 2010 – Releasing its new book, “Sports Investing:
Profiting from Point Spreads,” to coincide with the start of the
baseball season helped SportsInsights achieve a top sales ranking at Amazon on
April 11, 2010. Author Dan Fabrizio, says the book, “hit # 1 in its category
‘Sports < Gambling,’ and uses an academic and statistical approach to finding
value in the sports marketplace.”
Public sentiment and betting activity cause the sports marketplace to act
irrationally. The massive flow of public wagers forces betting lines to
fluctuate like an inefficient market. The book studies point spreads, betting
line movement, public betting percentages, money management, statistics, and
more. In particular, the book develops contrarian investing ideas such as
“Betting Against the Public” and “Smart Money” to the sports marketplace.

In conjunction with the release of the new book, SportsInsights is pleased to
publish an update to its annual MLB “betting against the public” research
article. SportsInsights collects sports marketplace data from online
sportsbooks and compiles proprietary statistics such as “public betting
percentages” to analyze public opinion.
SportsInsights’ research has shown that a contrarian and statistical approach to
the sports marketplace can yield profitable results from the sports betting
industry. Baseball has been one of the more consistent sports, yielding
profitable results in five of the past six seasons. Highlights of the
2010 Baseball Research:
