In The Wizard of Odds, renowned and best-selling basketball writer Charley Rosen brings us for the first time the full life story of Jack Molinas, one of the greatest basketball players of his era, a man whose gambling addiction and hubris caused his ultimate demise. Drawing on numerous, previously unavailable first-person accounts, including Jack Molinass own journal and trial transcripts, Rosen presents the true saga of a man who perhaps better than anyone around him understood the weaknesses of the system in which he lived-so much so that he convinced himself that he could manipulate that system to his advantage with total impunity, in a lifes journey that took him from NBA play to the Mafia and the pornographic film industry, and to an ultimate tragic destiny.
