Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Stephen takes the reader from his earliest school days when it became clear he was academically bright, especially in maths, attending prep school, winning a scholarship to major public school Uppingham where he won maths prizes and, aged 16, passed 3 S (scholarship) levels. By then he had d…ecided to be a bookie. He attended an interview for Cambridge University only because it was on his bicycle route to Newmarket races! Unable to work in any gambling job until 18, he set about visiting racecourses by bicycle, staying in youth hotels (17p per night), eventually cycling to all racecourses in the UK, including several now-defunct courses. At 18 he found employment with Beresford & Smith in London; aged 24 he got his first bookie's licence in 1971 and by the age of 40 in 1986 was betting big on the rails at major meetings such as the Grand National, Cheltenham, Derby, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, often laying bets to lose 100,000 or more - when money was worth nearly twice today's value - one of the few bookies who happily stood "toe to toe and traded blow for blow" with big hitters like JP McManus, Barney Curley, Michael Tabor and Harry Findlay. In 1998 changes in pitch administration prompted early retirement, and he sold his pitches, worked for a few unsatisfactory years for Corals and then departed the big time - with a Bentley as well as a bicycle, a house in Georgian Bath and a satisfactory bank balance. 8 colour illustrations Stephen takes the reader from his earliest school days when it became clear he was academically bright, especially in maths, attending prep school, winning a scholarship to major public school Uppingham where he won maths prizes and, aged 16, passed 3 S (scholarship) levels. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED ON TITLE PAGE BY RUPERT MACKESON. Dust jacket complete, unclipped. 286 pages clean and tight. Bet Like a Man is a fast moving thriller set in an upper class world of aristocrats and the seriously rich - all of whom are on friendly term…s with racing's ruling elite, The Jockey Club. Sir Hubert Torrington knows better than most that the surest way to win is to cheat and with the backing of the al Hassans - a well established Franco Arab racing family, he has the chance to stage the coup of his life. Abdel at Hassan, who is a leading light in genetics, adores his mother above all else. He is determined to see her restored to her rightful place as the Grande Dame of racing following the unfathomable disqualification of one of her horses at Royal Ascot. These two old Harrovians cook up the coup of all racing coups, an almost infallible way of winning the English Derby and restoring Madame al Hassan to glory. It had nearly been achieved in 1844 when Levi Goodman won the Derby with a 4-year-old `ringer' called `Running Rein', but he was caught before he could benefit. Throw in the trainer - American born Marietta, Countess of Elwood - a beautiful woman trying to make it in an unashamedly man's world, and Madame's rapidly failing health, and it becomes a battle of resolve to see the horse past the finishing post. Not only is the book an enjoyable and amusing read, it lifts the lid in an enthralling way on how various betting coups work in racing - some barely legal and some outright criminal. Size: 8vo. Signed by Author.
