About the Author
Graham Sharpe has dealt personally with many of the strangest gamblers of the last thirty years whilst he has worked for one of the world's leading bookmakers, William Hill, for whom he is currently Media Relations Director. He is a gambling expert whose previous Robson titles include 'Fourteen Million To One', 'Odds, Sods And Racing Certs' and who combined his knowledge of betting and football to write 'Free The Manchester United One' (1861056338), the story of British football's first fixed match. He lives in Pinner, Middlesex.
