Addicted To HorseracingAnatomy of a Small Time Gambler
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Neither raised by a family steeped in horseracing, nor inspired by his sole visit to the races as a child, Norton Howells was a relatively late convert to the sport of Kings.One tedious August morning during the summer break from teaching, his eyes happened to drift towards the racing page of a newspaper. The tipster’s article triggered a realisation: Horseracing is not about horseracing. It’s an academic study using evidence and argument.A glorious profit of fifteen quid that day transformed a conventional life into an increasingly obsessive pursuit of self-fulfilment. Surely this, at last, was a game he could win?Addicted to Horseracing charts one man’s quest to master that game, to crack the elusive code of gambling success.The writing is precise yet evocative, with nothing held back, as we discover the vivid consequences of an obsession.*This is an updated version of the previously released 'Horseracing Is Not About Horseracing'.
