Customer Reviews

every player loved the game and every took the money!

Good book and terrible how things were but that is all past. I learned from science that the key to the past is the present. Money is the great driver in competition and from what I see today they all grabbed for the dollars and all loved the game!! To be a pro is to get paid.
