Jody Ellis’s Reviews > Game, Set, Cash!: Inside the Secret World of International Tennis Trading > Status Update

The book is going in circles, and the story isn't interesting anymore. I feel like I'm reading the first pages again only with small differences and more getting caught. The author is finally realising that what they do isn't that crash hot. Very contradictory, complains about a consumerism destructive world whilst also boasting about Armani cologne and underwear.

The author says he doesn't hurt anyone by being a courtside trader. I see it differently. It hurts the people trading from delayed telecasts. It isn't illegal to do what he does, but it breaks the conditions of ticket purchase because it gives folks unfair advantages. He hurts the people betting the legit way, he takes their money and gives it to people that are flexing the rules.

first person ever to say they like New York. A whole other fresh perspective is really nice, to find the good in a place. Even movie stars said they didn't like it. I'm certainly enjoying the book. I'd love to see the author talk more about the pressure and stresses, they make it sound cruisy, easy and stress free. Maybe it is, but surely playing with millions of someone else's money isn't that cruisy?

I've worked out at least two ways to trade unnoticed now. I'm not sure why the boys haven't worked out the same. I'm distracted with how the police talk in London. It isn't English to call people 'mate' that's an Australian phrase and it was apparently used by security and the cop. It's made me doubt the legitimacy of the story a bit, but it hasn't detracted from my enjoyment.

Second typo, which throws me and I lose my mojo. It's a shame, but it's not a complaint.

It's a bizarre world the author lives in. The luxury and travel making money at the expense of people who don't have the upper hand is opportunistic. I can't understand why tennis frowns on betting when it's fine on the outside. I'm looking forward to the progress of the book. It's such a high stress fast paced lifestyle. No way can it last long term, surely?

I really really want to go to a tennis match now!

I'm seeing Tennis in a whole new light. It's a whole world I never knew existing and this betting gambling gig is something I never expected to find in tennis! The only complaint I can find in this book is not being able to resist reading it, and it's size which is hard to hold in my little hands.

I love the list of terms at the start to help people who aren't familiar with he sport. The words flow and you easily find you have sailed through 8 pages! Wasting no time, Brad dives straight into the adventure!
