The premier columnist covering the sports and gaming scene in Las Vegas, Nevada, Haney writes with insight, wit and empathy. "Bettors, Boxers, Wiseguys and Wannabes" is a rich and varied collection of pieces previously published in newspapers, magazines and on major websites, with new introductions. It includes personality profiles, in-depth interviews, betting tutorials and commentary. The columns touch on such diverse subjects as counting cards in blackjack, the art world, the finer points of handicapping a championship boxing match, the World Series of Poker, how to spot good (and poor) odds in betting sports, Jack Kerouac's obsession with baseball, the decline and fall of the sport of boxing, and the inside story behind the making of Robert Altman's classic gambling movie "California Split."Tags
