Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes you on a wild ride through the Nevada mining booms of the early 20th century, a time of speculation and frenzy where fortunes were made and lost overnight. The author, a former newspaper reporter turned "tipster," offers a firsthand account of his involvement in the notorious Maxim Gay Company, a wildly successful information bureau that catered to the public's insatiable desire for "the one best bet." Through anecdotes and personal experiences, the author unveils the inner workings of this gambling enterprise, exposing the shrewd tactics and carefully crafted advertising that fueled its success. He pulls back the curtain on the psychology of speculation, revealing how the allure of easy money and the thrill of taking a chance can cloud even the most rational minds. More than just a personal narrative, this book delves into the ethical and societal implications of catering to the gambling instinct. It raises questions about the role of information, the power of advertising, and the responsibility of those who profit from the public's desire to get rich quick. Ultimately, this book serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us that in the world of speculation, the house always wins. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
