I think that's the one. Dang google search shafting me, somewhat.

Heard an interview with the author, I think, on fan590 in T.O. last Sunday. Their "inside the lines" show which is some cool gambling shit.
If I have the book right, I think, then the author gets into the whole Tim Donaghy nba shit and, more interestingly, gets into some pretty intense professional sports gamblers who apparently have access to information and money that I sure don't.

Will leave it at that.
The question if it's been read and how good is it.
Might score me a boo.

If I have the book wrong then please correct me there; fan590 usually has podcasts av of past shows but they don't presently.

Damn...just called the freakin' station as I think I may have the wrong book.
I'll have to send Randall an e-mail, apparently.

This book any good or does anybody know what I'm talking about?
(I mean more so than me:facepalm: :scared :facepalm: )

Just e-mailed.
Dang tool-box guy at the station thought it might be "Blowing the Whistle," but I think that might be the Donaghy take, which I could care less about.
More interested in the stuff outside of that whole scandal, though such would also be interesting.

Apparently the line moves, on Donaghy's games, alone, suggested some heavy action, if nothing else.

I'll try again to find a link to the podcast.
15-25 minute interview but dude sounded pretty informed.
Want the book, whatever the hell it is.

:shrug: not sure exactly what you're asking, as its obvious your brain works on some different order then mine, but a google search gave me a lot of reviews for the book, especailly on amazon

I saw the reviews, too.
Somehow didn't sound like what I heard.
My e-mail will get a reply and maybe I'll make sense, after, for a change.

Thought somebody here might set me straight
(still might happen)
I know, e.g., that some of our T.O. members listen to fan590.

We'll get to the bottom of this, dagnabbit, even if we have to use the Obamasama cube!
