Is it possible to read a fascinating true story about a professional roulette player where gambling is not placed on a pedestal nor glamorized?

I believe the answer is yes if you listen to or read The Gambler's Game by James Darnborough, who is the grandson writing about a legendary professional gambler who was known for breaking the bank at Monte Carlo at the turn of the 20th century.

This is a story broken into three simple timelines where we learn about achieving goals, resiliance, and knowing when relationships become the number one priority in life.
