Download or read book My Casino Lover written by Julia Burgman and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachael is a very successful defense attorney whose life was turned completely around. After the murder of her husband and a second failed marriage, Rachael decides, after a little talking with her family and a good friend, to go out and enjoy her life. So she starts to hang out with her sisters who like going over to the casino and playing bingo, which she would pass up. But the casino she liked, she liked it so much she began to go alone. Then one day, she met someone whom she would later call her casino lover—but not before she finds out that he has a fatal attraction on his hands and doesn’t realize it. But she does because it was the same type of woman who had her first husband, the father of her children, murdered because he didn’t return the same feelings that she had. Rachael was not going to sit back and watch it happen to the new love of her life without saying something or doing something to stop this woman. If I saw this book entitled My Casino Lover and read the inside flap or the back of the book and it was interesting enough, then yes, I would buy this book. I’ve been writing for a while but never did anything with this book until lately. I’ve just been putting it on the back burner along with the other one that I’m writing. My goal or vision for this book/movie is to see it become a number one best seller in the book market and a number one box-office-hit movie. Because Rachael finally finds the love of her life a third time around after almost giving up somewhat on men, she then stumbles on love one more time.

Download or read book Casino written by Nicholas Pileggi and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story behind the Martin Scorsese film: A “riveting . . . account of how organized crime looted the casinos they controlled” (Kirkus Reviews). Focusing on Chicago bookie Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal and his partner, Anthony Spilotro, and drawing on extensive, in-depth interviews, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Mafia classic Wiseguy—basis for the film Goodfellas—Nicholas Pileggi reveals how the pair worked together to oversee Las Vegas casino operations for the mob. He unearths how Teamster pension funds were used to take control of the Stardust and Tropicana and how Spilotro simultaneously ran a crew of jewel thieves nicknamed the “Hole in the Wall Gang.” For years, these gangsters kept a stranglehold on Sin City’s brightly lit nightspots, skimming millions in cash for their bosses. But the elaborate scheme began to crumble when Rosenthal’s disproportionate ambitions drove him to make mistakes. Spilotro made an error of his own, falling for his partner’s wife, a troubled showgirl named Geri. It would all lead to betrayal, a wide-ranging FBI investigation, multiple convictions, and the end of the Mafia’s longstanding grip on the multibillion-dollar gaming oasis in the midst of the Nevada desert. Casino is a journey into 1970s Las Vegas and a riveting nonfiction account of the world portrayed in the Martin Scorsese film of the same name, starring Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. A story of adultery, murder, infighting, and revenge, this “fascinating true-crime Mob history” is a high-stakes page-turner (Booklist).

Download or read book Mathletics written by Wayne L. Winston and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-18 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How math can be used to improve performance and predict outcomes in professional sports Mathletics is a remarkably entertaining book that shows readers how to use simple mathematics to analyze a range of statistical and probability-related questions in professional baseball, basketball, and football, and in sports gambling. How does professional baseball evaluate hitters? Is a singles hitter like Wade Boggs more valuable than a power hitter like David Ortiz? Should NFL teams pass or run more often on first downs? Could professional basketball have used statistics to expose the crooked referee Tim Donaghy? Does money buy performance in professional sports? In Mathletics, Wayne Winston describes the mathematical methods that top coaches and managers use to evaluate players and improve team performance, and gives math enthusiasts the practical tools they need to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of their favorite sports—and maybe even gain the outside edge to winning bets. Mathletics blends fun math problems with sports stories of actual games, teams, and players, along with personal anecdotes from Winston's work as a sports consultant. Winston uses easy-to-read tables and illustrations to illuminate the techniques and ideas he presents, and all the necessary math concepts—such as arithmetic, basic statistics and probability, and Monte Carlo simulations—are fully explained in the examples. After reading Mathletics, you will understand why baseball teams should almost never bunt, why football overtime systems are unfair, why points, rebounds, and assists aren't enough to determine who's the NBA's best player—and much, much more. In a new epilogue, Winston discusses the stats and numerical analysis behind some recent sporting events, such as how the Dallas Mavericks used analytics to become the 2011 NBA champions.

Download or read book History of My Life written by Giacomo Casanova and published by Everyman's Library. This book was released on 2007-02-06 with total page 1514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of Giacomo Casanova, Chevalier de Seingalt (1725-98), is now synonymous with amorous exploits, and there are plenty of these, vividly narrated, in his memoirs. But Casanova was not just an energetic lover. In his time he was a diplomat, businessman, trainee priest, traveler, prisoner, magician, confidence man, gambler, professional entertainer, and charlatan. He financed business projects, organized lotteries, wrote opera libretti, and dabbled in high politics. Above all he was an autobiographer of enduring brilliance and subtlety who left behind him what is probably the most remarkable confession ever written. Casanova explored to the full all the possibilities eighteenth-century Venice offered by way of love and profit before being imprisoned, escaping from jail, and fleeing from the city to begin travels that took him across Europe. In Moscow and London, Berlin and Constantinople, he met the famous men and women of his time—Catherine the Great, Voltaire, Louis XV, Rousseau—and recorded his encounters for the memoirs he wrote in retirement at the end of his life. History of My Life is by turns touching, thrilling, wonderfully comic, and quite irresistible. The present edition, which includes approximately one third of Casanova's enormous (and unfinished) book, contains all his major adventures and all his greatest affairs of the heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We always try to understand our thoughts and emotions regarding the relationships we are involved in. And so many times … we fail in interpreting the meaning behind all what is going on. We simple don’t understand it. We believe it’s a love story … or even the love story of our lives …. or a very good friendship … but it always has an ugly end. And damn it … it was the perfect case scenario of a connection between 2 souls. The meaning of all what happened …. becomes a nonsense. Someone that used to be a good friend … or a soul mate if it’s about a love story … becomes the worst enemy you ever had. No one around … is understanding the meaning of all that. What looked like love between 2 souls … ended as a weird life lesson. So … should we say … it’s karmic?! It looked a story about love … but all became … a lesson offered by the karma. But why?! Why this life lesson?! Why couldn’t that love story or friendship continue?! Why such a beautiful connection … ended with a betrayal?! What is the message behind that nonsense?! Love and karma … somehow 2 contradictory directions that we could follow … but maybe having the same final destination. So … is it love?! Is it karmic?! Should we ask this question from the early beginning … or simple explore and enjoy that relationship till life will reveal us the real meaning?! Asking ourselves about the fact that it could look as great connection, but might be … just karmic … or be a karmic relationship looking as an amazing connection … should induce too many paranoia ideas from the early beginning and we will not let us follow the right steps for the story. So?! Should we let everything … just happen?! Too many questions … and maybe contradictory answers. Would help a lot to know the real meaning … and maybe we should explore all the connections we have with the people from the timeline of our lives. And the final question which comes in our mind is … if it is karmic …. how do we break this karmic chain?! Well … it starts with love … has a karmic end …. but …. It always needs to end … with love. It all becomes a cycle … the love-karmic cycle. The meaning?! Maybe … to understand the connections between everything it exists in this world … and the world itself. Love?! Karmic?! Or love-karmic?! I invite you in a journey of finding those answers. And i will not be so naive to tell you that we’ll come up with the absolute truth … but … Let’s do it … Let’s analyze … define all what is going on … and if it’s karmic … there is only one thing to do … metamorphose it into … into love again. I believe that karma is not a bitch … but a teacher, but also that love is everything … and the key to the Infinity.

Download or read book Chopsticks and Gambling written by Desmond Lam and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-25 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese are known throughout the world as avid gamblers with a long history of participation in games of chance. Historians have documented wagering on such games as far back as the early Chinese dynasties. Despite measures by ancient Chinese rulers to contain gambling, it proliferated, and Chinese games have evolved and multiplied since then. Desmond Lam provides a unique look into the little-known world of Chinese gambling from historical, cultural, psychological, and social perspectives. Chinese gamblers regularly patronize casinos in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The recent expansion of gambling in East Asia has attracted much global media attention. Macau, the only place in China where casino gambling is now legal, easily surpasses Las Vegas as the world’s largest casino gaming market. Each year, Chinese from mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan account for almost 90 percent of visitors to Macau. The expansion of the Chinese gambling industry has brought about much harm to Chinese communities, despite all of the development it has also stimulated. This book is the first to examine the beliefs, motivations, attitudes, and behaviors of Chinese gamblers, and will be of interest to students of history and sociology, as well as those studying the history and culture of China.
