GAMBLING Taking the Bookies to the Cleaners

0/5 ( ratings)

How to take the Bookies to the Cleaners? That has been the aim of thousands of punters over many years. This memoir will tell you how it was done down Pottery Lane, Chesterfield, Derbyshire during the 1940s and 50s, giving examples in quite a few differing circumstances; all true. Gambling was very much a way of life there, and it includes a number of unusual incidents which are both extraordinary and humorous at times. The main scam is how two compulsive gambling brothers developed a foolproof system where every bet they placed was a winner. This enabled them to win a small fortune over a three-year period. Whether it is horse or dog racing or playing cards with a crooked deck, this is the book for you.
