À propos de cet audio

 This wry and funny memoir tells the story of America's addiction to gambling from an astonishing angle. At age 26, broke and knee-deep in gambling debt, Ed Ugel serendipitously landed a job as a salesman for The Firm, a company that offered up-front cash to lottery winners in exchange for their gradually doled-out prize money. Ed made a lucrative living by taking advantage of lottery winners' weaknesses - weaknesses he knew all too well. As Ed saw up close the often hilarious, sometimes sad outcome when great wealth is dropped on ordinary people, who rarely have the financial savvy to keep up with the lottery-winner lifestyle, he discovered that the American Dream looks a lot like a day at the casino. And like those lottery winners, Ed struggled to find a balance in his own life as his increasing success earned him a bigger and bigger salary.©2007 Edward Ugel (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

This book was interesting at first, took a few nose dives, then mostly disappointed. I was drawn by the lottery aspect, but the business this guy was in is all about bottom feeders taking advantage of winners wrapped up in a less than ideal lottery payout system in the USA. I hung in there but it just got depressing (all I can say is that I am glad I live in Canada). I should have stopped listening when the author thought it was necessary to share details about his first sexual encounter with his future wife that were, just ew. Why did I think it would get better? It did, a bit, but didn’t even merit 3 stars from me.
