Veteran sportswriter Albert Chen draws on candid, unprecedented interviews with every key player in tech, sports, gambling, and the fantasy leagues to create a breakneck narrative around a group of entrepreneurs, players, and gamblers. [This book] recounts the origins of modern gambling and fantasy sports in America, and follows the unlikely rise of the fantasy sports world through the lens of the two startups at the center of the story."   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 793.93 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
