Covers and gamblers, leviathans of the punt, and wonderful wagers. This book takes you from the woman who lost GBP 3 million in one year's gambling to the man who won a GBP 1 million for 50p; from the day Frankie Dettori nearly bankrupted the bookies, to the bookie who quit the business because he'd won so much from one man.
"500 Greatest Gambles & Gamblers" takes you from the woman who lost GBP 3 million in one year's gambling (don't panic, she could afford it!) to the man who won a GBP 1 million for 50p; from the day Frankie Dettori nearly bankrupted the bookies, to the bookie who quit the business because he'd won so much from one man. Great gambles and gamblers, leviathans of the punt, wonderful wagers - they never fail to fascinate those of us for whom a tenner each way is a significant outlay, and this book will gather together more of them than you could shake a betting slip at.
