During the course of 30 days in early 2009, Richard Roeper risked more than a quarter million dollars on practically every method of gambling currently available in America. Chronicling his wild ride in a breezy, humorous manner, this entertaining exploration both celebrates and details the many pitfalls and lures through Roeper's stories about his lifelong affair with gambling. With insight and aplomb, the narrative answers the questions What is it like to bet money you don't have, knowing that if you lose, you're in serious trouble? What is it like to play in a poker tournament alongside celebrities and world champions? and What are the 10 best gambling movies of all time? This delightful dalliance proves that the true national pastimes aren't baseball, basketball, or football, but instead fantasy football, March Madness, poker, slots, the lottery, craps, blackjack, church raffles, and bingo.
Gamblers --- Gambling. --- Roeper, Richard,

Envoyé du New Yorker, le poète Al Alvarez se rend à Las Vegas pour faire un reportage sur le Championnat mondial de poker de 1981. Las Vegas est alors l'une des villes les plus extravagantes des Etats-Unis, une ville qui n'a qu'une promesse : votre vie peut changer d'une seconde à l'autre... si vous avez de la chance. Des millions de gens venus du monde entier jouent aux tables de poker, mais une poignée à peine se risque aux plus grosses tables. Les fortunes changent de main, le poker devient alors un sport extrême. Les joueurs sont tout autant aveuglés par le romantisme des grandes pertes que des grandes victoires, ou, comme l'explique l'un d'entre eux : "Notre poker est un art, les autres se contentent de tirer sur une cible mais nous, notre cible est vivante, et elle riposte". Dans ce livre, considéré comme "le meilleur jamais écrit sur le poker" et traduit pour la première fois en français, l'auteur, joueur lui-même, décrit avec finesse et humour l'élite du poker professionnel. Un hommage au hasard et au risque, une réflexion brillante sur l'argent et le capitalisme, et une lecture délicieuse qui rappelle que "le sexe, c'est bien, mais le poker, ça dure plus longtemps".
