Double or Nothing - Dennis Foon

Kip is way into gambling - it gives him his buzz. He bets on whether or not Mr. Cheese will burp in the next twenty seconds or not, and other trivial things like that. And when he meets his dream girl, Joey, his life definately takes a turn for the better. And better yet, her father, King Hewitt, is also into gambing. He takes Kip under his wing, and teaches him the ropes of serious gambling. Once Kip has learned the fast world of horse racing and the ways of the casino, there is no way he can go back to his petty gambles. But once he loses, he just keeps on digging his hole deeper and deeper. Double or Nothing is intense, and I really felt his sense of urgency. A great book for gamblers, and everyone else. Tip of the Day: Quit while you're ahead!!
