The Wizard of Odds: How Jack Molinas Nearly Destroyed the Game of Basketball
Charley Rosen
Jack Molinas had everything: good looks, charm, brains, and a talent for basketball that made him an NBA All-Star. He was also a swindler and gambler deeply involved with the Mafia, and he had been fixing games since high school. After he was arrested in 1954 and banned from the NBA, Molinas created a gambling empire that had dozens of college teams rigging games for him. Drawn from numerous firsthand accounts, The Wizard of Odds examines Jack Molinas’s life, from a sparkling beginning to his gruesome murder in 1975.
