Charlie and his two pub friends are in dead-end jobs, unlucky in love and somewhere along the loser scale. Fat Dave dares Charlie to try to turn one pound into a million pounds by gambling. Charlie embarks on a how-to-win and beat the odds study. What results is a whirlwind lifestyle of Vegas tournaments and some outrageous benefits. A very fun read.

When Charlie Spinner gets dumped by his girlfriend. He goes out with his two best friends Ed ( aka Nadz) and Fat Dave. They lament their lives- go nowhere jobs, grab bag relationships and of course money woes. Fat Dave wonders is it possible to turn a one pound oin into a million pounds? Playing along Charlie deposits the change left over from a round of beers - one pound into a slot machine and wins the one thousand pound jack pot. But will Charlie ise to fat Daves challenge to turn the one pound coin into one million pounds or is there an even greater prize waiting for him in Vegas on the Vegas strip where you make the odds.... Funny in places and a truly orginal story. Very well written i highly recommend it.… (mehr)

One To A Million by Tim Cole

Well I gotta say I didn't expect much from a book about gambling since I don't gamble. But I did read the whole thing and actually it wasn't bad. I found I really liked the characters and found myself routing for the big wins. Some of the parts where it got into the poker playing lingo I was a little lost but still followed the story without too much trouble. (I don't know how to play poker)

note* I'm not sure why but the last chapter was a repeat of the chapter before it, maybe just a mistake in the ebook.

I'm not sure I would recommend the book to anyone I know personally but if you like poker or gambling and think you may like to turn one to a million, this may just be the book for you!
