Description

Ed Hawkins grew up around gambling. So when he lost a misguided gamble on his career, he doubled up on reflex, deciding to wager his way around the globe. He embarrasses himself playing poker at the World Series in Las Vegas, challenges Phil Taylor to a game of darts, fights roosters with Britney Spears' babysitter and fleeces pensioners on planes.
