Against all odds book and 10 podcasts so far.What a life he led, some awesome stories.Anyone watching?
I read the book and new one of the guys he talks about and he said it was way over exaggerated. Said Larry was a real small time player and nothing like Herve who was considered the best in that era at gambling but died broke. But Larry had a gift to gab and always wanted to seem like he was smarter than everyone else. He has to do podcasts today just to feed himself so how much money did he really make.
Read the book, knew the people, raced plenty there - 20 percent true TOPS!!
Very fictional. Raced there hundreds of times from 1976 to 2012. Never approached by him or any of his cohorts. Never felt i was in a race that he tainted. Wielded no power when he came to YR or RR.
