    This book will teach you new techniques and strategies in the world of betting… 
    You can leave money on the table if your betting activity is restricted to the main bookmakers. The markets of the betting offer various ways to make your bets more competitive.  
    The entire betting situation was revolutionized by the advent of betting exchanges in the market. Unlike traditional bookmakers, betting exchanges often encourage punters to back up their fancies, as is the case with conventional bookmakers. There, though, they can also put their bet on a winning team rather than place their money on the game they're sure to win.

    What do businesses like a fast food chain McDonald’s, a soft drink company like Coca-Cola, a scotch tape manufacturer like 3M, and a retail giant like Walmart have in common? What does a coffee maker like a Starbucks and a wholesale hardware store like Home Depot have in common? 
    They’re all stocks with growing dividends and a form of passive income that you’d be a fool not to have in your portfolio. In this book you’re going to find out the difference between a Dividend Kings and a Dividend Kings aristocrat, a great credit card with reward points you can deposit into a brokerage account and why chasing a high dividend yield is not necessarily a good thing. 
    You’ll also find out which Dividend Kings, despite having over years upon years of consistent dividends, it’s not worth the share price. 
    Do you want to be working a 9-5 all your life or do you want to start making passive income now?
