Ed Hawkins grew up around gambling. Instead of going to school, he
followed his father, a horseracing journalist, around the courses
of the UK. From an early age he learnt that bookies never give
anything away. So when he lost a misguided gamble on his career, he
doubled up on reflex - deciding to wager his way around the globe.
Initially gambling his way across Australia, he meets triumph and
disaster at one of the world's biggest casinos with witty
self-deprecation. He embarrasses himself playing poker with
Hollywood's finest at the World Series in Las Vegas, challenges
world champion Phil Taylor to a game of darts, fights roosters with
Britney Spears' babysitter and fleeces pensioners on planes.
Hawkins tries anything to stay afloat, ending up in a Glasgow bingo
hall hoping to land the same long odds that stare back at him from
the mirror, having been diagnosed with a rare illness.
