the Table*
A blasting, naked account of what it is to be a gambler
*Jesse May*
His story is honest and raw, but with hints of underlying, unspoken
tensions. His sheer determination is contagious, and his gutsy
self-belief ensures the reader stands firmly in his corner
throughout... The journey Brindley takes not only from the street
corner to a television career, but also as a writer, is what makes
his debut book so captivating
*Card Player Europe*
A triumph... Life's a Gamble is a truly fantastic book that is both
entertaining and shocking to read at the same time. Roy Brindley
has captured what is going on in the mind of an addicted gambler
brilliantly. It is genuinely one of the best biographies and
certainly the best poker biography I've ever had the pleasure of
reading
