There are many good things about this book. I knew very little about gambling before picking up this book and a lot of information about the background working of bookmakers is provided, without anything becoming too technical. This aspect certainly adds an extra dimension and a small subplot to the book which if I'm being completely honest is probably required to make up for the lack of character development and depth elsewhere. Otherwise, this book could have been...more
