You Can't Lose Them All

For the last two decades, Cousin Sal has been the Gambling Butch Cassidy to my Gambling Sundance Kid -- and that's a crucial analogy, because they both died at the end of the movie. --Bill Simmons If you think the way I do, then you must be asking yourself if this truly is the most ridiculous cover for a book you've ever seen. Just wait...when you open the book, it actually makes the cover look normal. It's not dark yet, but it's getting there. Cousin Sal is a very smart and brilliant man with as humble a heart as I've been around. He wants to make others happy and sometimes he does with his checkbook. But I am truly lucky to call him a friend. For life. You will love this book. --Tony Romo Sal's a good father and husband, and I have never seen him take a drink. But he makes up for it by being the most degenerate gambler I have ever seen. --Johnny Knoxville Rachel. I don't think you're crazy. Sal, I think you're a real Pal. Also, you owe me $400. I will not accept books as payment. --Jon Hamm A rollicking...account of the foibles of a man who'll bet on anything. --Kirkus I swear to God you little shit, if you wrote anything stupid about me I'll kill you. --Aunt Chippy Sal has embarrassed me on live television, in front of Jon Hamm, in restaurants, on the golf course, etc. The fact that I am still here recommending this book is a testament to how great a friend he is when he's not making my life miserable. I've never met a man that's as mad about sports as he is and I think he's endured enough pain, the least we can do is read about it. Also, Jon, if you're reading this: I'm not crazy! --Rachel Bonnetta
