Fresh off the success of his first book, Then One Day … 40 Years\u00a0of Bookmaking in Nevada<\/em>, in January 2020, Chris Andrews started\u00a0keeping a daily journal to record the roller-coaster ride bookmakers undergo in a typical year from one Super Bowl to the next. Little\u00a0did he know that 2020 would be anything but typical. Less than two\u00a0months later, the worst pandemic in more than 100 years turned the world upside down and the wide world of sports and sports betting\u00a0inside out.<\/p>\n

Then One Year … History\u2019s Craziest Year as Seen by a Las Vegas\u00a0Bookmaker<\/em> follows Andrews as he navigates\u2014day to day and often\u00a0minute by minute\u2014the uncharted waters of running the sports\u00a0book at Las Vegas\u2019 South Point Hotel-Casino, maneuvering through the unprecedented and profound impact that COVID-19 had on both his personal and professional life.<\/p>\n

In addition to further pulling back the curtain on the ways the\u00a0industry\u2019s top bookmakers think and operate, Then One Year<\/em> will also help sports fans and sports bettors remember the best parts,\u00a0and process the worst, of the most memorable year in recent history.<\/p>\n
