This journal captures the day-by-day, week-by-week excitement of a
fall season spent challenging the sports books of. Reno as the
author tries to beat the point spread betting college football.
While basically the story of one man, armed with a system, going
head to head against the oddsmaker, it is also an ethnography of
the sports books of Nevada. The author, a professional
anthropologist, presents the mo detailed account ever written of
just how sports books operate. How is the point spread made? By
whom? How does it change, game by game, in response to the money
bet? All this and more is revealed. .. . . . But beyond that here
is a very human story of an avid football fan, indulging his
passion and his hobby, trying doggedly to outsmart the oddsmaker.
Moreover; the book catches the flavor of the gambling scene in
Reno, as well as reflecting the color and pageantry of college
football.
