“I found the story tremendously entertaining, with a pantheon of compelling characters such as gambler Ed Thorp and bookie Manny Kimmel taking us from the casinos of Nevada to those of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Les Golden’s novel is a triumph begging for adaptation to the screen.”

— LANA WOOD, Film and T.V. Producer, Actress (“Diamonds Are Forever”) 

Best-selling Author, Natalie, a Memoir

“Les Golden has an ever-increasing influence and burgeoning popularity.

A significant name in the industry, the ‘go to’ man for strategy and anecdotal literary

dexterity. I cannot acclaim his star highly enough.”

— JAMES MCKEOWN, Editor, iGaming Business Magazine and Gambling.com Magazine

“Les Golden is a comedy genius. It really is as simple as that. An expert in the field,

he makes getting educated not only painless but actually funny.”

— DAVE BLAND, Editor, Flush Magazine, British television pundit

“I learn more about strategy through Les’ writings than I do through many failed trips

to Vegas. Always concise, easy-to-read, and intelligent.”

— JON YOUNG, Editor WPT (World Poker Tour) Magazine

“Les Golden makes numbers hilarious. He's simply the funniest gaming strategy writer there is. His writing is ‘rakish’ and ‘bond-esque.’ ”

— PHILIP CONNELLER, Editor, Bluff Europe Magazine

“The dialog crackles and the fictional elements brilliantly illuminate how cool Ed Thorp is. And there’s just the right amount of blackjack and math. I love it.”

— AARON BROWN, Professional gambler, Wall Street risk manager
