See I never thought Mdawgs adventure was about a book deal. There is no real money in that and it should have no appeal to a wealthy guy. But you never know, with this guys fascination with movies and stuff maybe in his alternative reality, he thought he had the making of the man who took Vegas or something.

The fact is there is very little money to be made in gambling books. It is a very limited target audience. When I had my book deal with the gambling publisher here in Vegas that I pulled out of, one of our major points of conflict was over the money. I wanted to make nothing off of telling my story and wanted a kindle or online version to be downloadable for free or $1 or $2 tops and a paper version at minimal cost, like $4.99.

He explained to me this just was not possible due to the very slim margins he was working with with such a limited target audience. There were other issues as well, but that was one of the reasons I pulled out and returned the small advance money.
