Story time from the book:

Man, I’ll be the first to say, my sleep schedule is simply fucked up...

Been at home with the Consig kids everyday since the sports world stopped and Vegas closed...

I don’t know what day of the week it is until the kids want to watch a show at...
night. Monday is #TheVoice

Wednesday is @MaskedSingerFOX

Nobody in the house wants to watch past games despite my pleas

I tried again last night with the Yankees and Red Sox...

“Watch this. You won’t believe what happens.”

“Who cares? It’s old. This is boring...

(Sigh)...
Smh...

Lose control of the goddamn remote again...

Without a job and without having to watch sports, they control the TV more often than not.

I’m glad we spend time together every night watching something together because we don’t normally...

It’s usually everyone in their...
own, on their own device, in their room, watching what they want. So this sharing one TV and making it a group thing is a bit of a throwback.

Family time is good.

You know what else is good?

#KBOONESPN

Insomnia for me, whole house asleep, and baseball on TV...
This is definitely not going to help the sleep schedule, but it is helping the baseball fan in me...

No fans? I’m ok with it.

Choke up, bat flips, umps w masks✅

Just keep playing.

And I have the damn remote all to myself.

One small sliver of normalcy, one step at a time..

Story time from the book:

It was 1994, in Pittsburgh. Was working multiple jobs & hanging out with guys who bet games and guys who booked games.

Everything was done in pick up and drop offs. Everything was done over the phone. Word of mouth was how info got passed. It was.. Image
also how you got a guy.

There was no promo code. There were no bonuses (at least at the beginning). If Moses the barber took your action, it was because he knew you or someone vouched for you.

All the book guys I met had cool nicknames. Bussy, Philly, Pie, and Rabbi were..
a few that a 23 year old kid was around at the card games, the fantasy drafts, let alone the dinners.

Got into a Sunday night card game with the Barber. He invited a couple other guys. The Rat, a bartender, the Bomber, a golf pro, Killer (we weren’t sure what he did), Tooney..

Story time from the book:

March Madness is finally here. Games all day & night.

Being in a sportsbook in Las Vegas for it is quite the experience. Working in one is another level.

There have been stories over the years. Here is one about a future ticket that lives on and.. Image
is forever brought up by friends in the business.

It’s 6:15 am Sunday morning in the book. We’ve just worked the first three days of the tournament.

14 hours Thursday, 16 hours Friday & 12 hours Saturday.

Non-stop, three days in a row, lines of people 100 deep, ticket..
after ticket, and just enough time to go home & take a nap in between. In all my years in the business, have never seen it as busy as it was these three days.

Back at it Sunday morning, hoping to just get through this day and not snap.

Second customer of the day comes up and..

Story time from the book:

Sitting with a guy today at the book. Both of us wearing hats.

Gray zip up guy walks up to us. He has an athletic bag over his shoulder and a notebook in his hand.

As we were talking, he goes “hey. I don’t mean to interrupt, but you guys look like..
you know what you are doing. Who do you like?”

My guy is a lifer. Everyone in the place knows & respects him. Like the kind of guy who don’t even let smoke get in his face if you smoke.

Anyways, my guy looks at him and goes “in what sport?”

“Football. Tonight’s game with..
Titans and Jags. I’m asking cause I’m conflicted. My friend says Jags but my notes say Titans.”

I interjected “go with your notes.”

Gray zip up guy goes “I don’t trust my notes. They aren’t right all the time. That’s why I’m asking you. Do you have a boss? Who do you work..

Story time from the book:

At lunch with my dad, years ago, an old bookie guy told us..

“All this shit, all the sports, all the suits, all the hats, none of it means shit if you don’t take care of the home team.”

Remember like it was yesterday. Thought I knew shit. So I ask.. Image
“Wait, what? Sports are fixed? Don’t tell me that.”

He smiled at my dad. Looked over at me. And went..

“Your home team is your family. You have to play strong at home. You don’t win every game, but you have to make sure they are good before you go on the road. You..
understand?”

I nodded.

“You are a good son. Listen to your parents. Keep an eye out for your brothers & sisters at all times. Shit will get tough. You will understand when you have kids of your own.”

“That’s a long way away, don’t worry,” I said.

He leaned back & said..

Story time from the book:

You guys know I talk about my time in the book fondly. Met so many people, have so many stories. Just was reminded of a couple from the Curacao days.

The names alone. All nicknames or monikers. The Rabbi. Lucky Larry. Gin Eddie. The Blade.

Most of..
the time, it was something they weren't or the city they were from or something they did.

The Rabbi was Italian and not Jewish. Larry was anything but Lucky, but he was in the movie "Casino." The Blade wasn't sharp.

Eddie was the best goddamn gin player on the planet, and..
all you had to do was ask (he was really good and played so fast, I could never beat him)..

But there was one couple who I got to "work" with that came up in conversation today that didn't need a nickname..

Wes from Florida showed up to work at the office one day after a..

Story Time from the Book:

Today is Thanksgiving. For many of us, today is a special day. For me, it is the three "F's." Back in school, F's were bad, but today, it's all about the Food, Football & Family.

The date was 11/27/1980. Bears at Lions. Det -3, 37 was the line..
Up to that point, I had always been a Steeler fan, growing up in the glory days of the Super Bowl Champs. Every Sunday, the day was centered around whether the game was on at 1pm or 4pm.

I knew we didn't like the Browns and Bengals, and despite the best uniforms in football..
we weren't supposed to like the Houston Oilers, but man, those baby blues and Earl Campbell were fantastic.

The other teams were just that..other teams, brought to life by the halftime highlights on Monday Night Football by Howard Cosell.

For most of my childhood, I thought..
