From Oscar De La Hoya, one of the most celebrated fighters in the history of boxing, comes a frank and touching memoir about achieving the American Dream: His rise to the top, the power of a solid work ethic, his mother's painful death from cancer, the pitfalls of stardom and a very personal take on what it means to be an American. 265 Pgs. 2008 Hardcover

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
