Have you ever been to a
carnival midway and tried to win a prize (maybe a stuffed something like a funny colored dog) and you got suckered to spend more than your prize is worth to win it? Did you feel ripped off? But you still went back to the booth the next time thinking you figured it out and this time you will beat it and win.
But you still lost!
It must be fixed you thought.
So who are these people running these games of no chance? They look like losers but they always win. Take Peter Fenton. Nice boy. Smart in school.
He takes us into his coming of age trip to carnie-ville. The scams, the cheats, and the cheaters are all profiled in this world where nice guys are not.
Any easy read.
Some insight. Some suspicions exposed.
Might save you some cash on your next midway crawl.
