His avowed aim is to make a GBP 1 million, and every week there will will be a detailed account of the bets, how they are doing and the emotional highs and lows that go with it.

This was originally entitled "Living the Dream", in which Dave chronicled his attempt to win £1 million in the six month period between the Lincoln and the St Leger. He failed - that's why it's called "No Easy Money". No shame in that; but there is in offering this dull book. A lot of the text is padded with race reports. It's like reading old copies of the Racing Post. There is also the sound of pockets talking, the smell of burnt fingers and the taste of sour grapes.

One things for sure if you haven't read this book you haven't missed out,there is absolutely nothing of interest to the average punter.This has got to be one of the worst racing books ever written.
From a man who is supposed to be a legendary party animal,this is boring old tripe with no story, no humour,no nothing. It's like reading a year old copy of the racing post. Forget it!

I read Dave Nevison's first book and was left wanting more of the same. This is mainly what I got with this. Other reviewers say they didn't learn anything from it - well I did. His thoughts about Betfair and how it's going were very interesting. But more than anything I like being in the mind of a pro. gambler like Nevison. How he takes the ups and downs and his almost suicidal (betting wise) pursuit of the Jackpots and Scoops which make him come out an overall loser in the end.
If other reviewers thought there was no humour in it what about one of his wenches ordering her steak 'fanny pink', the book is full of amusing asides. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.

I cannot see that this book would be of interest to anyone. After reading the chapter "How I Do It" I thought that I was onto a winner. Read more

I really liked the first book and read it in a few sittings this one I felt was an effort to build on the success of the first. Best to avoid

From the outset I should say that I enjoy reading Nevison's articles/books. Maybe that colours my view, I'm not sure. Read more
