"From being a disobedient teenager and an initial failure in college, to his journey through being a salesclerk, public accounting, law school, government, business, and investment banking, to his unexpected long career as a casino industry CEO and owner, Jerry Turk has had a varied life and career, although some might call it checkered. With hard work and a good deal of luck, Jerry turned life's unpredictability into a winning hand. He learned enough about success, failure, business, leadership, community and the mysterious world of casinos to write a book; so that's exactly what he did. Jerry doesn't consider himself an author - just an average guy who wanted to tell his story so that others might gain some insight from his life of ups and downs. Jerry is an ""old fashioned deal guy,"" being involved in a wide variety of complex deals. His excellent understanding of how to get deals done, is a common thread throughout his autobiography. Jerry believes that everyone who takes a chance in their life, whether in business or otherwise, is gambling in one form or another. He has learned better than most, how to stack the odds in his favor during these gambles. You can bet on that."
