Produktbeschreibung
Rolling dice on the pavement, running from the LAPD, jumping over fences, and being shot at is not your typical work environment. But then, hustling in the backyards of South Los Angeles is not your typical day job. Kev Mac's elucidation of his years in the wandering employ of gambling is not your ordinary gambling memoir. Kev takes you on a tour through gang-infested areas where crime is inevitable. Living in the bank robbery capital of the world, with large amounts of money being made from crack-cocaine throughout Los Angeles county, made high-stakes gambling worth the risk of surprise attacks and drive-by shootings. After a short prison stint for a home invasion robbery and several broken relationships, Kev Mac packed up and moved to Las Vegas, where a coffee table muddled with a laptop, newspapers and sheets with the daily sports schedule suddenly became the norm. Strip clubs, alcohol, and call girls became as routine as sports handicapping. Traveling, shopping, private dances, massages, and expensive dinners consumed his free time. Though Kev Mac has experienced six figure wins at craps, the dice were brutal and his toughest battle of all. When it comes to rolling the dice, all bets are off! 204 Pages and pictures included

Though his faith has often been questioned he remains relentless in his pursuit of happiness through this insane employ of gambling and the lifestyle attached to it.
