My husband was very keen on these fish (well most forms of betta) and has bred a lot of them.
I would say the main problems encountered where water quality issues; if you don't get that part just right the fry do not stand a chance; but this is already covered. very nicely in an item above.
One small point I would make is that be sure you sex your betta's correctly do not expect the subordinate males to show the same degree of fin growth; at times these males will need seperating to come into their own. other then that unless you look closely under the fish it will appear to be a reasonable female.
They are a very interesting fish to breed and a good starting point
