__________________ The bookies always win. But one man has been
proving them wrong for four decades. In the summer of 1975 Barney
Curley, a fearless and renowned gambler, masterminded one of the
most spectacular gambles of all time with a racehorse called Yellow
Sam. With a meticulous, entirely legal plan involving dozens of
people, perfectly timed phone calls, sealed orders and months of
preparation, Curley and Yellow Sam beat the bookmakers and cost
them millions. They said that it could never happen again. But in
May 2010, thirty-five years after his first coup, Curley staged the
ultimate multi-million-pound-winning sequel. The Sure Thing tells
the complete story of how he managed to organise the biggest gamble
in racing history - and how he then followed up with yet another
audacious scheme in January 2014.
