Subject: RE: [vpFREE] Whalehunt v. 24/7—which book is worth reading?
It has been quite a while since I read this book, but I recall finding
the
author incredibly naïve on the subject of gambling
or perhaps I mean
credibly naïve. He even used the often ridiculed, crack cocaine of
gambling phrase. Ultimately, as I recall, the tale dealt as much with
the
seductiveness of the action and distortion of common attitudes and
values
that a gambler may have as it did with the adventure and bankroll swings
of
a roller. Those who liked this book might also like Blackjack Autumn by
Barry Meadow.
