I actually picked it up at the barnes and nobles @ rittenhouse square for $27
I'm sure she lied about her own involvement in many cases, but the use of names and indepth details about Books in CR... I doubt there will be another book like it for a VERY long time, at least one that'll bget published
I agree with you about another one not being published. She's got big elephant balls I'll give her that much. Would love an explanation on how Dave Greenberg was able to carry a figure for a significant amount of time after collecting several thousand dollars then re opening his account hitting a 7 team parlay for $40k or whatever and then getting paid in full immediately? That was real head scratcher :think2:
Should have been explained better for the sake of the book that's all I'm saying. Since most of the other memoirs were pretty clearly dead on accurate she kinda did the book an injustice by leaving so many holes in that particular one. Re-opening an account to keep someone from running to the cops is a tactic I would never recommend to anyone :lol:
Other than
- The New York Times | A.O. Scott The movie is a bust, and, as usual in these situations, it is easier to say how than why, and best to say as little as possible, cut one's losses and move on
- The Guardian | Peter Bradshaw Stephen Frears is a supremely accomplished director, but perhaps there was little he could do with this garbled and unsatisfying story about gambling
Here Jen... you can watch it for Free here http://www.movie2k.to/Lay-the-Favorite-watch-movie-2301496.html
Just X out the small screen on the Right... Then X out the small screen inside the Bigger screen and hit Play
Listen, Duke you know me. I'm a total moron. But, I read every day and usually nothing on the light side. I thought We Were Wiseguys and We Didn't Know it was a good read. I spoke to Scott telling him as much. At least his book lacks the stink of a second rate romance novel that puts gambling on the back burner. And, yes the movie was crap, but if you read the book you would understand why.
agreed...i don't know anyone as you say you do in this novel/movie...but the movie went absolutely nowhere...and apparently was an absolute flop...if i hadn't stumbled upon it here i would have never known they made a movie after the book.....

I was in a bar with the main character for about two hours unable to take a sip of my beer. He schooled me on baseball and I came to the realization I should never bet on sports. He never spoke about betting baseball per se or having an edge, instead he talked about a single baseball team. Not really getting him I think he was trying to get through my thick Irish head a simple fact. If you're serious about betting sports you better be prepared. Believe me, this book does him no justice.
