Product description...

What if a football fan moved to Las Vegas to gamble for an entire football season?


Every weekend throughout the fall, McCarran airport expels thousands of people on to the Las Vegas Strip. Many of these visitors come to Las Vegas to bet on football, hoping to profit from the obsession that overtakes their weekends from September to February. Most will return to McCarran a few days later, a little poorer but a little wiser. Another group however, reveling in winnings, boards that departing plane with a belief they know more than those large casinos that dot the Strip; convinced they could leave behind their day to day life back in the town where they live, move to Las Vegas and make a living gambling on the sports they love. So, what would happen if someone actually did that? Swimming with the Sharps, follows one man’s attempt to do just that. David McIntire spent the 2012 football season in Las Vegas chronicling what he learned and how he actually did gambling on games every week. It is the story of just another fan’s experiences taking on the casinos at their own game.
