My idea is a book about sports betting. There are some published but only a few that are respected, and even fewer that actually show you step by step how to make money.

I have been betting for the past 12 years. In my guestimation based on contests, forums, picks, etc. I am safely in the top 25 in the world. My specialty is college football where I consistently hit 70% of my top picks against the spread which is unheard of (by those of us that are honest).

Here's the problem: sports betting is not really legal in the U.S. except for Nevada, and I am on the east coast. I do not have the capital to move out to Vegas and start betting $5000 a match. There are a couple of online sportsbooks that have kicked me out (one after I turned $5 into $25,000 in one weekend).

So I figure I can either write a book or try to sell my picks. The problem with selling is the market is saturated, and its saturated with liars and cheaters. The problem with the book, in my opinion, is if it gets REALLY popular, it will actually change the industry rendering it (and my strategies) less effective. This would be fine with me if I sold a million copies and I could use the funds to move into a different business, but I doubt there are even half that many people looking for books on sports betting.

So that pretty much sums it up. Can anyone offer advice?
