GAME, SET, CASH!: INSIDE THE SECRET WORLD OF INTERNATIONAL TENNIS TRADING

Book ID/图书代码: 01899514B68868

English Summary/英文概要: Inside the secret world of tennis court-siding.

Brad Hutchins has been living a young bloke’s dream: getting paid to travel the world and watch sport. Sitting court-side on the pro tennis circuit, he uses his phone to transmit results to a gambling syndicate, taking advantage of the time delay in TV broadcasts to beat other online punters to the big pay-offs. His stories from life on the road capture the adventures and mishaps that come with following the world’s best tennis players and partying in a new country every week.

But like card counters in casinos, court-siders are despised by the tennis establishment. The more time Brad spends at tournaments, the harder it becomes for him to evade the security guards who are hell-bent on ejecting him from matches. The resulting cat-and-mouse chases will appeal to anyone who loves the roguish spirit of The Wolf of Wall Street or Catch Me If You Can.

Brad Hutchins spent his youth playing sports and travelling the world, before finding his dream job as a tennis trader. Born and raised in Brisbane, he has lived and worked in the UK and Canada, and now teaches primary school students on the Gold Coast. Game, Set, Cash! is his first book.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 网球场外世界的秘密。

布拉德•哈特金斯一直有着一般年轻人的梦想:获得环游世界的金钱并观看网球比赛。通过坐在专业网球队的场外区域,他用手机将比赛的结果发送给一个赌博集团,利用电视机上的直播延迟去让在线下注者们赔付高额的赌注。他的旅途生活故事既有冒险也有事故,一切的发生都与世界最优秀的网球手们息息相关,并且每周都在全新的国度里狂欢。

然而就像是赌场里的数牌手一样,网球场外员是十分遭到网球界轻视。布拉德出现在锦标赛上的次数越多,他就越难避开固执将其驱逐出球场的安保人员。因此而发生的猫鼠大战一定会吸引喜欢《华尔街之狼》和《猫鼠游戏》中那种无赖式捣蛋精神的你。

在找寻到他的梦想工作---网球交易员前,布拉德•哈特金斯的整个青年时代都用于从事体育运动和周游世界。他在布里斯本出生和长大,曾在英国和加拿大生活和工作,目前在黄金海岸的一所小学中教授学生。《游戏,规则,金钱!》是他的第一部作品。(DC)
