Smart Money, The

In The Smart Money, renowned gambling writer Michael Konik provides a riveting look inside the lucrative world of professional high-stakes sports betting, taking you behind the veil of secrecy shrouding the most successful sports betting operation in America.

Bypassing the myths and rumors, Konik takes you all the way to its innermost sanctum. He reveals how they—and he—got rich by beating the Vegas and offshore lines. He details the excesses and the betrayals, the horse-trading and the paranoia, the perks and perils, of a lifestyle in which staking inordinate sums of money—sometimes as much as $1 million on a football game—on the outcome of a single event is a normal part of doing business.

Penned by a journalist who lived a secret life as a key operative in the world’s most successful sports gambling ring, The Smart Money is destined to become a gambling classic.
