    Reading A Great New Book
    Bought it at the local Barnes and Noble yesterday. Gaming The Game: The Story Behind the NBA Betting Scandal and The Gambler Who Made It Happen by Sean Patrick Griffin.

    Only to page 64, but I'll say anyone who posts here should love this read.

              Yeah it is. But there's a hell of a lot more to it than that. Informative and like I said a good read.

                            It really is a great book. Some interesting inside info on the offshore industry.

                                Read that one too. Also a very interesting read. Makes you extra nervous about keeping money offshore with these types.

                                    Booth books sound like good reads.

                                    Will check them out.

                                      Just read this whole book yesterday! SO epic!
                                      If you care at all about the sportsbook industry you should really read this book. With Cantor and William Hill now with books in Vegas, big bets are possible. Getting $100,000 down on a game with one book is not hard.

                                      Some dudes are so advanced when it comes to betting. One guy in the book keeps track of how many fouls each individual referee makes during individual games, unreal!

                                      I'm pretty sure Billy Walters is the dude they are referring to who made about $200 million by betting Donaghy games, absolutely incredible!

                                      Inside info is by far the best way to make some real money in this sports gambling biz. Betting offshore is just too sketchy, it seems like you have to live in Vegas and have runners to truly be legal in this business.
