Michael Konik,
one of the great chroniclers of gambling stories from those who
play intuitively, bravely and with a passion for the games, has
produced a great sequel to his hot-selling The Man With the $100,000
Breasts and Other Gambling Stories. Although this book, just off
the pressed in May 2001, is not illustrated (sometimes it helps
to see the faces of those we read about), it's packed with 14 solid
chapters covering a variety of territory.
A preview of
what to expect:
- Simon Jones
is a world-class backgammon hustler. He's played the best and
won some of the biggest international tournaments. His ego is
pretty big too-and his philosophy about the game, "pigeons," and
setting people up for a big killing is quite educational.
- A Chicago
nun, Jean Kenny, has a knack for picking football winners against
the spread, and she offers some tips.
- What's the
world of gin rummy players like? The ones who play in tournaments
in particular? Learn their strategies you might pick up a few
pointers.
- The world
of off-shore sports betting-who's involved? What about the integrity
factor? Who's running really running the show and what are the
risks to consider when sending money to a face you've never seen?
Konik lists 21 off-shore operations you'd best avoid and recommends
six that have proven out.
- Talk about
tension. John Brinson has a shot at making a $1 million basket-he's
become the finalist in something called the Three-Point Challenge.
Does he make it? Can he handle the tension? Could you?
- How does
the nation's biggest sports betting syndicate operate? What does
it take in the way of a wager to actually "move the line?"
- Ever hear
of the Blackjack Ball? It's an annual unique get-together by some
top 21 players. Who's there and what do they do? The event is
hosted by Max Rubin, author of Comp City.
- Cyndy Violette
is a top woman poker player. How'd she get as good as she is?
What is her lifestyle, and how does she use her gender to find
an edge at the tables?
- Hope to become
eligible for that Who Wants to Be a Millionaire television show?
Learn what it takes to survive the early screenings. Tips for
preparing yourself-what the competition may already know.
- What's it
like to play in the World Series of Poker at Binion's? Experience
the pressure; what do the pros already know-how good do you have
to be to merely survive the early rounds?
