Wilde Is The Joker: Gambling Satires and Humor (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545592977)

A US Senator fights to put an end to online gambling. An investment banker wishes to change his business model to a more lucrative format. A friend figures out exactly how to use luck in his financial favor. A customer service rep falls in love with one of her online customers. A man asks for a raise but wonders if money really does mean more problems.

Wilde Is the Joker opens your eyes to a world of gambling that goes far beyond the brightly colored carpets of a casino and the tracks at a horse race.

Finding inspiration in the humorous peaks and valleys you encounter in both real and virtual casinos, Josh Wilde encourages readers to look at the world and laugh. A collection of satirical tales, Wilde Is the Joker both entertains and enlightens, reminding readers of the good, the bad, the ugly, and the surprising beauty of the world of taking risks.

Through his lighthearted and humorous tales as well as his serious lessons, Wilde lays bare the more ridiculous aspects of politics, romance, television, corporate America, and even crime through the hilarious lens of the gambler.
