Gaming the Game (COMING IN APRIL 2011)

Donaghys book comes out today, heres a little excerpt – Jimmy Battista was a gambler from Clifton Heights, a hustler who used to drive with fake licenses, move both money and money-lines and misuse pills. He also nearly helped to ruin pro basketball. The dance was not as simple as taking Donaghy’s counsel, placing some bets, and collecting as if at a lottery-ticket counter. Rather, it involved manipulating the lines in Asia in the morning to make them more appetizing in Delaware County around dinner time.
