A good read about life in the sports gambling industry

For X-Mas my girlfriend got me a book by this girl who used to work in the sports gambling industry for a couple of whales. Lots of stuff won't be as shocking as they might be to the common man but still if you want to make the missus think you aren't a total neanderthal by picking up a book I fully endorse this one.

It was a joke on the book, I will send you some sauce, Vinegar based or Ketchup Bsaed? for the rub you might ask Seaunie Mac, I heard he was good at that and is looking to earn some points

I read this book when it first came out. Thought it was interesting, but Raymer was not a very good author. The boiok was like 200 pages, and yet I found it draggy several times.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

cannot picture Bruce Willis as Dink at all. The book describes him as fat, balding, a total nerdy nebbish of a guy. They're going to need alot of make-up for that (except the balding part of course).
