"Wiseguys and we didn't know it" by Scott whatever his name is from the Stardust. Great read!

My book is in publishing right now and will be on shelves late spring '13, hopefully it makes this list some day...

Lay the favorite was okay. It would of been better without the constant bouncing around. I feel like she really dodged some of the main details, probably because she was not allowed to include them. My favorite is still the one written by Chad Millman, The Odds, when it comes to sports betting. When it comes to bookmaking and mob like stories, Leaving the mob by (Michael?) Franchezse (I believe, can't remember the Italian name letter for letter) is great. Read it a couple years ago on the beach, talks about bookmaking as well as a lot of crime and mob related stuff, really cool, similar to Goodfellas.

I guess I do not have PM's, not sure how to turn them on or be approved to have them on either. I believe I got in touch with you from my end.

That book was horribly written. Felt like a 12yr old wrote that book. Had zero flow to it.

Ace on the River by Barry Greenstein. Not all poker as he was a pretty big sportsbettor back in day...
