Description

In his memoir, The Best Bet, Jamall Anderson reveals how his once rising career spiraled into gambling on games and even betting against his own teammates. He reveals, for the first time, the role he played in the biggest gambling scandal in the history of NCAA College Football, and how it could easily happen today. Co-written with longtime Tampa Bay Times columnist Ernest Hooper, Anderson's memoir details how his decisions at Boston College set off a chain of events that put him on a merry-go-round of disillusionment as he struggled to recapture the promise of his football glory days. Now, looking for closure twenty years after the scandal broke, Anderson offers a cautionary tale for aspiring athletes and the parents and coaches who guide them. He seeks retribution through contribution. He reveals his own failures and the seamy underside of college football that revolves around illegal wages, criminal mischief, and using prostitutes to help recruit high school athletes. The intoxicating freedom that came with being a rising star on a Catholic university campus, a lack of oversight by the coaches and administrators guiding the Boston College program and society's ever-present temptations, proved to be a pitfall that Jamall couldn't overcome.
