Eleven Winning Exacta Situations
$49.00
Though born in Colorado and raised in Utah, Jack Dempsey was hardened in the rough-and-tumble mining camps of Nevada where he literally fought to eat. After winning the world heavyweight championship in 1919, a title he held until 1926, he became the greatest drawing card in sports. He fought in the first $1 million gate in 1921 against French war hero Georges Carpentier and the first $2 million gate in 1927 against Gene Tunney in the famous long-count fight. He lost his fortune in the stock market crash of 1929 and set about reclaiming it with Reno as his base in the early 1930s, first as a fight promoter and then as a fighter who set out to reclaim the heavyweight championship. A great book for boxing fans and Nevada history buffs. 182 pgs, hardcover, 2008

Bringing Home The Jackpots: Jackpot Betting With Handicapping
The author, (who previously wrote 'Out of the Red, Into the Black', a respected work on money management techniques), concentrates on three exotic jackpot bets: Pick 4, Pick 6, and Superperfecta. He tells you when the exotic is bettable (the pool must reach a certain level) because the potential reward has to constitute the risk. He also tells you how to play and how much to invest along with the mathematics involved in the wager. The book provides tables, charts, options in buying combinations and, presents 'matrixe', which offer examples and categories of horses to be used in these often expensive tickets. Some of the author’s advice includes avoiding horses without early speed, especially favorites, and avoiding small betting fields while eliminating bad jockeys and trainers. He offers seven betting angles to help the player hone his skills in exotic betting situations. 71 Pages Paperbound 1999

When Capone’s Mob Murdered Roger Touhy
Subtitled "The Strange Case of Touhy, Jake the Barber and the Kidnapping That Never Happened'. When Prohibition ruled America in the 1920's, it produced a lawless decade and lawless citizens. A mob boss like Al Capone became not only the era's leading bootlegger but also a pioneer and kingpin in the union extortion racket, a golden source of easy money and underworld power. But there was another major crime figure in the windy city as well; a gangster who emerged from the poverty-drenched Irish slum section in Chicago known as the Valley. His name was Roger Touhy, the son of an honest Chicago policeman and the youngest of the six so-called "Terrible Touhy" brothers. Together the brothers ruled over a small but strong criminal empire on the city's outskirts, manufacturing and distributing beer, running unions and supporting their war against Capone's criminal syndicate through a series of widespread and lucrative robberies of the U.S. mail. This is the story of Roger Touhy's turbulent life. Bibliography Photographs 267 Pgs. 2001 Hardcover
