Beating the Odds: The Rise, Fall, and Resurrection of a Sports Handicapper
The incredible rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches true life story of acclaimed sports tout Brandon Lang, subject of the motion picture Two for the Money (Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey). Beating the Odds describes in vivid, colorful detail Lang's rise from small time sports-phone tout to big time national exposure, his dramatic fall, and his subsequent rebirth in the internet age. Also describes the series of improbable events, while working as a golf caddie in Los Angeles, that eventually led Lang to the optioning of his story to Hollywood and the making of Two for the Money .

As good a read as I've had in a longtime. Lang's story is one of inspiration for anybody chasing the american dream. His caddy stories were amazing and left me wanting more. I highly recommend this book to anybody who never felt they could make their dreams come true. Lang is living proof that if you believe in something and aren't afraid to go after it, you can make it happen. This is a great read and I recommend for all. A must read for all gamblers, handicappers, bettors and sports fans.
