Product Overview
Bill Waterhouse is a true Australian character who has spent a lifetime mixing it with the biggest names in sport, business and politics.
Whilst learning the bookmaking art from his father, Bill studied law and practiced as a barrister. With his brothers, he built up a property empire, including Sydney's biggest hotel, yet bookmaking remained his passion. By the 1960s he was Australia's biggest bookie, and he remained at the top for over twenty years.Filled with remarkable tales of the track's greatest plunges, gamblers and stings, 'What Are the Odds?' is an outstanding memoir of an extraordinary life.
