Roxy Roxborough's book.

[RicoTorres]

About 6 or 7 years ago while working at a sportsbook in Oficentro La Sabana, I came in touch with a book by Roxy, a very good book on how everything is done... anybody knows the name?

Would like to get a link to a webpage where you can just read it and/or print it.

Thanks.

Have referred to this book about 1,000 times over the last 15 years.

I actually worked with Mr. Rhoden for a brief time at the Aladdin in Vegas.......if anybody really cares.

MVB-
I only knew Mike for a VERY short time and have no idea where he is now.

He may very well be in Asia with Roxy.

Fellas, I have been a regular GBC customer for
a little over five years. This book I have debated buying a couple different times. My question, is this book a must have for cappers. Or is it mainly for the person, who is looking to work at a book writing tickets, etc. Thanks in advance for any opinions/insight.

 

[Fishhead]

KEVY-
Anybody on either side of the counter should have a copy.

Well worth the investment.

 

[Kevy]

Fishhead, thanks. I had almost ordered this book, several different times. I will be adding this on my next GBC order here in a couple days. Should have went with my gut instincts before, and picked up a copy.

 

[mvbski]

Kevy whats up, this book is a must have well worth getting

 

[Kevy]

mvbski, how you doing my friend. Any other books at the GBC, that you feel are must haves?

 

[SkyMasterson+]

Not sure exactly what Mike Rhoden is doing right now but he is certainly in Califormia and is betting offshore with a fair degree of success.

 

[mvbski]

Kevy not off hand I dont but if I think of one I will let you know,I am leaving friday night for Vegas care to go with me and get out of all this rain

 

[lakerfan]

Book is fairly basic, but if you have never set odds or booked before, you will likely find it helpful.

 

[tuleythetout]

mvbski...drop me a line if you want to grab a beer while you're here.

 

[RicoTorres]

Hey you guys! After eight years being in this "cutthroat" industry I tho' I knew a lot, jajaja, I'm laughin at myself now.

You guys are great, I'm so glad I came to the forum.
I'll be getting a copy for myself... thanks again.

 

[Fishhead]

Patience is the key, thanks FISHHEAD...
