5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: "The Man with the $100, 000 Breasts" and Other Gambling Stories (Hardcover)
Excellent stuff. Very gritty and real. Very insider. This reminds me of a poker book I read some time ago about high-rollers in Las Vegas. This book (The $100,000 Breasts) has that same sort of feel. I don't know where Konik gets his stories or if their all totally true, but in some ways I don't care 'cause their so cool. Very hard book to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun to read, you won't put it down., 13 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: "The Man with the $100, 000 Breasts" and Other Gambling Stories (Hardcover)
Konik did an excellent job of tracking down some pretty bizarre gambling stories. This was a fun look at some of gambling's legends and the stories behind them.

I heard Konik on a radio interview he gave to a local radio show. His stories were so incredible that I had to read his book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sure Bet, 27 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: "The Man with the $100, 000 Breasts" and Other Gambling Stories (Hardcover)
I heard about this book in a magazine story that mentioned some of the author's gambling exploits, which is one of my favorite subjects. I'm glad I got it. It was entertaining and very informative and sometimes, very funny. (The greyhound track story and the breast story, etc.) A winner.
