Invitations to John Aspinall and John Burke's illegal gambling
parties were the most sought after in 1950s London - only the
wealthy and well-connected were allowed past their door. When the
police finally arrested them, Aspinall and Burke challenged the law
- and won. As a result gambling was legalised. Which interested
crime boss Billy Hill and his lieutenant Bobby McKew, because
suddenly clubs sprang up everywhere and Billy had a foolproof way
of fixing the cards. He also had his eye on the ultimate prize,
Aspinall's exclusive new club, The Clermont... Revealing for the
first time how Aspinall and Hill plotted to steal a fortune, based
on testimony from Burke and McKew, The Hustlers is a riotous
journey back to 50s and 60s London. With a cast of characters that
ranges from safecracker Eddie Chapman to the reckless Earl of
Derby, from croupier Louis the Rat to unlucky Lord Lucan, it
vividly recreates the exploits of the gamblers and gangsters whose
lives collided in the clubs and pubs of Mayfair. 'a fascinating
glimpse into a bygone world . . . when chemmy parties took London
by storm and toffs were often found to be rubbing shoulders with
gangsters' Daily Express

Pete Rose. Don't try running a betting ring in the NHL, either.
Want the surest ticket out of NCAA sports? Betting's the way to do
it. In stark contrast, however, the United States Golf Association
officially sanctions betting among players during their games. And
it's not just the pros who bet. Every man, out with his buddies,
asks at the first tee, "Shall we make this interesting?" Yet there
has never been a betting scandal in organized golf."Money Golf" is
the first book that tells the complete story of golf's unique
association with wagering and how that relationship evolved. It
features anecdotes from fifteenth-century Scots to Tiger Woods and
all the smooth-swinging flatbellies, movie stars, athletes,
politicians, women golfers, Joe Six-Packs, hustlers, and sharks in
between. It also serves as a primer for novice golf bettors,
providing explanations of Calcuttas (betting auctions),
odds-making, on-course games, and the art and history of golf
hustling. It even highlights movies and books that include golf
wagers, showing that even writers understand the marriage of the
two.Wagering on golf has been part of the game since it migrated to
the United States in 1888. All of the early icons of American golf
bet when they played-Francis Ouimet, Walter Hagen, and Gene
Sarazen. Even Bobby Jones, the simon-pure amateur, wagered on his
game. Sam Snead and Ben Hogan always had a little something on the
side; so did Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Gary Player. Tiger
Woods and Phil Mickelson learned how to bet on golf when they were
little kids. All the personalities, stories, and history of betting
on birdies are included in"Money Golf."

Providing a needed historical perspective on current debates about
industrial and agricultural policy, Kenneth Finegold and Theda
Skocpol compare the origins, implementation, and consequences of
two similar programs from Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, each of
which committed the federal government to extensive intervention in
sectors of the U.S. economy. The Agricultural Adjustment
Administration (AAA) and its industrial counterpart, the National
Recovery Administration (NRA), had very different fates. The
politically and economically successful AAA set trends in American
farm policy that continue to the present. The NRA was rejected as
an abysmal failure. Why such drastically different outcomes? A
historical and institutional approach, Finegold and Skocpol
contend, can explain the similarities and differences of the NRA
and AAA better than competing approaches of pluralism, elite
theory, Marxism, or rational choice. They show that the AAA aided
large commercial farmers and increased their power over tenants,
sharecroppers, and farm workers. The NRA, however, worked against
the interests of its original business supporters and encouraged
union organization among their workers. Finegold and Skocpol
explain the contrasts in these programs by showing differences in
the organization of governmental intervention in agriculture and in
industry before the New Deal, and by tracking the differing ways
capitalists, farmers, and workers participated in the New Deal
political coalition. Both Finegold and Skocpol have been prominent
in bringing renewed attention to national political institutions.
Their crisp analysis of state and party dynamics contributes to
theories of politics in advanced industrial societies and will
appeal to political scientists, policy makers, sociologists,
historians, and economists--in short, all those who must understand
how past programs influence present U.S. policies.
Omaha poker has long been a favourite game in Europe. Now comes the
definitive guide to winning big at this exciting, and potentially
highly lucrative game.
One gambler is a manic former cokehead with an Ivy League degree.
The second is a college dropout trying to make a living at the only
thing he enjoyed at school,gambling. The third, one of Vegas's most
respected bookmakers, is perilously close to burning out. The Odds
follows the lives of these three professional gamblers through a
college basketball season in a one-of-a-kind city struggling to
reconcile its lawless past with its family-friendly makeover. With
a wiseguy attitude and a faultless eye and ear for the sights and
sounds of Vegas and its denizens, Chad Millman has created a
portrait that the Wall Street Journal called "fascinating. . .
often screamingly funny." The Las Vegas Review-Journal had just one
word for the book: "Superb."
