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, 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.

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.

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