Striker

The author wishes to remain anonymous due to the nature of his current work and the people he has potentially exposed in this book. He has even gone to the trouble of setting up a false identity. Needless to say, he is an expert on all things match-fixing and has experienced the ultimate highs and lows of hardcore gambling. He wants equality for the gambler who is being taken advantage of by bookmakers and to make the reader aware of all the dangers surrounding the industry.
