Summary

The author was given twelve thousand pounds in August 1997 and told to gamble with it whichever way he chose. Any profits he made were entirely his, but even if he lost everything the publishers still wanted his book. It took Rendall three months to spend the money, and this is his story.

Twelve Grand by J Rendall

Hello, is that Jonathan Rendall?' 'Speaking. ' 'My name's Rachel Cugnoni. I'm calling from Yellow Jersey Press and I have a proposal for you. I'm looking for someone to give o12, 000 to but the catch is they have to spend it all on gambling - horses, the dogs, casinos, boxing, golf, footie, that sort of thing - and then write a book about it. Any profits made are entirely that person's but if they lose it all I still want my book. It's high risk but with-out wanting to assume too much, I've heard a bit about you and somehow I thought it may appeal. Think about it - you'd have the opportunity to lay some serious bets offering serious returns, you could play hard ball in poker games for once, even go to Vegas and, as I said, those winnings are yours to blow in whatever way you wish'. 'When do I start?'
