Produktbeschreibung

Back in the day say, the 1930s if you wanted to gamble, the only legal action was the local horse track. Sure, Nevada had casinos, but nowhere else. There were no lotteries, no riverboats, no Internet. Horse racing was not just the only legal gambling option, but it was also one of America's most popular sporting events. Only baseball could rival horse racing for fan appeal and newspaper headlines. It was a time of Seabiscuit, War Admiral, and Whirlaway.
Flash forward to today. Some form of gambling is available in almost every state. There are casinos damn near everywhere, on land, on water, on reservations. Mega-jackpot state lotteries flourish. Daily Fantasy Sports are the latest "next big thing" online, and, of course, we've gone through a boom-and-bust-and-reborn cycle with online poker.

And racing? Long proclaimed dead more than once, horse racing, specifically Thoroughbred racing, is alive and well. Who doesn't know about American Pharoah, the first Triple Crown AND Breeder's Cup winner ever? There are new tracks popping up across the country, and horse racing is as strong as ever overseas, as England, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hong Kong have strong racing programs.

And, thanks to the Internet, you can wager on ALL OF IT.

The ABC's of Online Horse Racing looks at the various online websites that provide you with a box seat on the action. Every aspect of setting up an account and learning the betting pad are covered, and later chapters teach you how to handicap like the professionals.

Geared to gamblers who have never considered betting the ponies, The ABC's of Online Horse Racing is a beginner's guide to online horse racing, teaching you how and where to watch, wager, and win in the 21st Century version of this great sport.

Autorenporträt

I wrote my first short story while in first grade, and it was actually published in the school paper. How long ago was that? The newspaper was mimeographed that's your clue.

Since then, I've been writing on and off, both fiction and non-fictionsometimes for a living, sometimes for fun. I've written more than 100 articles in a variety of places, including a variety of gaming publications such as Casino, Casino Executive, Card Player, Dalton's Blackjack Review, Double Down, Thoroughbred Times, American Turf Monthly, and HorsePlayer along with in-flight magazines, and local newspapers. I even won a writing contest with a $1,000 first prize.

Since thenunder my own nameI've written four how-to books for beginners on the most popular casino games like Craps, Blackjack, and Poker, plus one on horse racing. I also collected some of the short stories and essays I wrote about gambling "back in the day" into a small book.

In addition, like a well-worn 45, I'm playing my flip side, writing YA novels under my alter-ego, Rex Michaels. There are more in the works, too.

BTW - that's a portrait of me with that $1,000 check. Helluva time cashing it at the bank...
