Robert Walker spent thirty-five years in the sports betting industry in Las Vegas, a career that provided unexpected training for analyzing the British monarchy. He learned early that the favorite doesn't always win, but the house always survives. When not calculating the survival odds of historical dynasties, he writes about the intersection of high stakes and human folly. He lives in Las Vegas, where the kings are made of neon and usually last longer than the real ones.
