Reviews for The Handicapper

"The glory of the book is that Robert Kalich gives a dead-honest account of the Dismal Science of Gambling. Kalich has a firm grasp. He writes with a fervor of a man intimately familiar with gambling giving us a wonderful insight into the gambling mind.

"Robert Kalich has written a compelling novel that transmits the flat-out thrill of putting your money where your heart is.
THE HANDICAPPER IS ALIVE. BET ON IT!"
