Over/under : an unexpected history of sports betting

Bockino, David,


Hardcover. "Taking readers on a rollicking journey through the history of American sports betting, Over/Under proposes a fascinating and unexpected theory: What if sports betting isn't just a result of the multibillion-dollar American sports industry, but rather the primary reason for it? An essential catalyst for nearly two hundred years of sports fandom and obsession? The narrative starts in mid-nineteenth-century New York City, as a new sport called baseball lures bettors out of shadowy gambling halls and into the fresh air. The story then heads to Churchill Downs and Augusta National Golf Club where sports betting dresses up in fancy outfits, to Chicago and Minneapolis where sports betting meets the Mafia and gets some structure, and to Las Vegas and the Caribbean where sports betting makes some people very rich. Along the way, the story rolls out a cast of colorful characters: hustlers, wise guys, moguls, opportunists, grifters, touts. A parade of personalities, year after year, all trying to make a quick buck. Because isn't that the whole point? Written for those eager to explore the history of a recently-legalized industry--one that's been described both as a financial bonanza and an impending disaster-- Over/Under is poised to become the definitive history of a controversial industry in the midst of incredible, yet uncertain, growth."--

How to get rich in American history : 300 years of financial advice that worked (& didn't)

Moore, Joseph S. (Joseph Solomon), 1977-,


Hardcover. Introduction: go ahead! -- Your money and American history. Getting ahead is easier than ever ; Fast time, slow time ; Crypto isn't the future, it's the past ; Financial advice: inflation's oops baby ; Gurus are selling something, you should buy ; Your net worth is wrong (so I made myself a billionaire) -- Investing then and now. The next big thing is a bad idea ; Compound interest and passive income are overrated ; Diversification won't make you rich ; You can beat the market, you probably shouldn't ; Women were always active investors ; Stocks used to be bad for the long run -- Financial freedom the American way. Financial independence isn't what you think ; Real estate is a terrible way to make money ; House hacks and side hustles before Uber and Airbnb ; Yes, people retired before social security ; Immigrants make the best capitalists ; Scams: the Nigerian prince is actually from Spain -- The Feds and the family. Budgets are new, hating them isn't ; Debt isn't (necessarily) dumb ; The government was always involved ; Going broke is better than ever ; Marriage (and dual incomes) mattered... a lot ; Generational wealth doesn't last long -- It's getting better, much, much better. People really did get ahead, and you can, too -- Conclusion: the real lessons of financial history. "In richly told stories and wild self-experiments, historian Joseph Moore tests history's best and worst financial advice to find what worked, what didn't, and why everyday people can still get ahead--including you. What if so-called timeless beliefs about money like "invest for the long run," "compound interest builds wealth," and "real estate always goes up" were shockingly new . . . and rarely true. From Benjamin Franklin to TikTok gurus, what "everyone knows" about personal finance has rarely stayed the same. Parents once taught children not to save and that stocks were only for suckers. Meanwhile, supposedly new phenomenon like Airbnb, crypto, skipping lattes, and complaints that nobody can get ahead are far older than we think. In How to Get Rich in American History, Joseph Moore shares the unexpected and counterintuitive lessons of the past--from the scams we keep falling for to the long allure of creating generational wealth--so we can avoid the same mistakes and make the most of our own finances today. Along the way, Moore tries these old ideas on himself, with hair-raising and hilarious results. His personal journey includes wild investments, get-rich-quick schemes, founding a cryptocurrency, and how he went from his working-class roots and facing financial ruin to retiring in his forties. Ultimately, Moore finds that despite today's loud pessimists, success has never been easier to achieve in American history than it is right now." -- Jacket flap.

Paperback. The Agathas meets Thursday Murder Club in Amanda Sellet's next YA novel, a cozy mystery with a splash of romance. Some people visit Florida for theme parks and beaches. High school junior Virginia Tillis is there for murder. Accidents, electrocution, tainted hand lotion: every victim meets a different end at her grandmother Lainey's rococo pink condo. Such is life (and death) when you roll with a crew of theater retirees who roleplay murder mysteries from the comfort of their own home in a game they fondly call Killing Me Softly. But this summer, fictional murder has given way to the very real death of the building's beloved owner and his dramatic last testament has the vultures circling, from estranged relatives to sleazy property developers, dead set on getting the most from his will. Adding to the tension for Virginia is the appearance of Felix, the cute guy she met at the airport who turns out to be the grandson of one of the condo's residents. With his charm and musical theater chops, he's the person Virginia most wants to beat at Killing Me Softly. That is, until the day they discover an actual dead body while playing the game, forcing them to work together to figure out whodunit. In this comedic mystery about finding the Watson to your Holmes, Virginia and Felix must banter their way from rivals to co-detectives in time to save their eccentric grandparents from a shocking disruption to the community they've always loved.

How to not know : the value of uncertainty in a world that demands answers

Stolzoff, Simone,


Hard Cover. Journalist Stolzoff (The Good Enough Job) considers the subject of uncertainty in this accessible, compassionate, and practical book. Sitting at the intersection of self-help, business, and psychology, it should have a wide audience of those interested in coping with, planning for, or processing the abundant issues that come with not knowing-the future, the best choice, the next step, or any of the other myriad issues that arise out of the inability, but deep desire, to prognosticate. Arranged in what Stolzoff terms certainty traps, the book divides the quest for that reassurance into considerations of comfort, hubris, and control. Each section comprises short, story-based chapters that use someone's experience as an example, supported by research studies that apply to each issue. Examples range from a man who created a randomization tool and followed it for years to a businessman who used magic mushrooms to treat OCD to the concept of red team (or take the other side) leaders who challenge the very presumption of certainty. The result is a work that manages to be illuminating, relatable, and helpful. VERDICT From freshmen just heading to college to CEOs running a boardroom, Stolzoff offers digestible and meaningful insight. Suggest to readers of Oliver Burkeman.-Neal Wyatt © Copyright 2026.
