It all comes together beautifully." <br>--Gaming Today on <i>Sports Betting for Winners</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rob Miech</b> (pronounced Mish) has been a sportswriter for more than thirty years, having mostly written for the <i>Pasadena Star-News</i>, <i>CBS SportsLine</i>, and <i>Las Vegas Sun</i>. His work has also appeared in <i>USA Today</i>, <i>The Washington Post</i>, <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i>, and <i>Basketball Times</i>, among other publications. <i>The Best American Sports Writing</i> (2014 edition) highlighted his profile of former UCLA basketball player J.R. Henderson's longtime immersion into the culture of Japan and its pro hoops league. <p/> Miech is the author of <i>The Last Natural</i>--a behind-the-scenes account of the 2010 junior-college baseball season that launched Bryce Harper to fame and fortune--which the magazine <i>Spitball</i> short-listed as a top baseball book of 2012. He also authored <i>Eleventh Heaven</i>--the story of UCLA's national hoops-title season of 1994-95, twenty years after the Bruins' glory run--and <i>Of Cowards and True Men</i>, the adventurous and dramatic life of controversial boxing trainer Kenny Adams. <p/> A longtime resident of Las Vegas, Miech is intimate with the sports-betting arena, its characters and colors, its lexicon and nuances, and the various ways in which punters capitalize on their action.
