An irreverent and funny autobiography about success, entrepreneurship, self-improvement and resilience, while betting on yourself. Jerome Turk (known by all as Jerry), a retired casino CEO and owner, tells his story of the triumphs, failures, and challenges throughout his life and career, particularly in the complex and mysterious world of casinos. As an "old fashioned deal guy," Jerry has been involved in a wide variety of complex deals. His excellent understanding of how to get deals done, is a common thread throughout his autobiography. Luck: The Good Four-Letter Word is from a man who understands that eventually the "house" always wins. Despite this, Jerry writes about how to make the most of things in life with the hand you are dealt, especially when you get lucky. WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE SAID Bugsy Siegel: Although I died in 1947 from that horrible disease of "lead poisoning," I'm sure I would have loved Luck: The Good Four-Letter Word. I understand it's interesting and funny, although I do wish I was mentioned a few more times. After all I started the building boom on "The Strip" in Las Vegas with the Flamingo. Too bad my unexpected disease prevented me from seeing its success. Al Capone: I was only 48 when I died because of advanced syphilis (I think I would have preferred lead poisoning), but I know that I would have enjoyed Luck: The Good Four-Letter Word. Please raise your glass and have a drink (legally of course) to a job well done by Jerome Turk.
