1. The Odds: One Season, Three Gamblers, and the Death of Their Las Vegas
2. Gamimg the Game by Sean Grffin
3. The Smart Money by Michael Konik
Does anyone know of any other books that discuss sports betting teams? The Smart Money is about Billy Walters group and Gaming the Game mentions 4 betting groups, etc.

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you're looking for, but I enjoyed "Lay the favorite : a memoir of gambling" by Beth Raymer. It's a sort of memoir of her time working for a couple sports books.

Based upon the thread title, I thought you were going to discuss various casino's sports books.

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood? 😁

So did I.
As for books, one that I enjoyed is Gambling on Goals by Graham Sharpe, which goes into some detail on the history/details/politics of soccer betting in England (although it doesn't cover "the pools" too much). Admittedly, it is slightly dated; the addendum is a rant about why all professional soccer matches in Great Britain were cancelled on the day of Diana's funeral.
