Sample Book Insights:
#1 Lefty Rosenthal, a baseball player, was raised on Chicago’s West Side and became involved in gambling. He was a professional player, and he believed that games were fixed. He knew some basketball players who practiced the art of missing basketball rim shots for hours every day.
#2 I was a kid who was interested in betting on sports. I would listen to the play-by-play of out-of-town teams, and I would read every newspaper I could get my hands on. I was getting chesty, and I was doing well.
#3 I had been waiting for this game. I had been watching it. I had bet Northwestern to beat Michigan State. I had missed the black ineligible player Johnny Green, who went on to be an All-American and professional player. I learned a lesson: I could not trust people to make up my decisions for me.
#4 I had spotters working for me who would watch specific players. I would take their notes, and then fly to the next town where the team played and watch them again. I knew everything there was to know about a certain limited number of games.
