À propos de cet audio

 An inside look at the high-stakes world of professional sports betting -- by a journalist who lived a secret life as a key gambling ring operative.

"Gamblers whisper about a legendary syndicate known as The Brain Trust because they seem to understand more about sports betting than anyone else. Though they operate in secret, everyone involved in sports gambling wants to know what The Brains are doing -- how they do what they do, and especially, what they'll do next. I'm one of the few people in the world who can tell you. Because for several years I was one of them." -- from The Smart Money

In The Smart Money, Michael Konik takes listeners behind the veil of secrecy shrouding the most successful sports gambling operation in America, to its innermost sanctum. He reveals how they -- and he -- got rich by beating the Vegas lines and, ultimately, the multi-million-dollar offshore betting circuit. He details the perks and perils of a lifestyle in which staking inordinate sums of money on the outcome of a game -- sometimes as much as $1 million on a single event -- is a normal part of doing business.©2006 Michael Konik.

Don't expect to learn how to beat the books but the story is entertaining. Having worked in the industry I recognize the caricatures that he creates to transparently abstract the identities and think it does accurately capture the time. Something he doesn't discuss or realize is that money laundering played a big.part in his syndicate so take some tales of his 'success" with a grain of salt. That said it was very entertaining. #Audible1
