Reader reviews for Bets and the City

“This is the most readable, witty and seriously wise piece of financial advice I’ve ever read – and I’ve read a lot! At the same time it’s a great piece of entertainment.”

“I was unable to stop reading this hilarious account of Sally’s life in Primrose Hill with retired Reggie and much married Michael. She has been betting since she was 8 she says.”

“Funny and informative, Sally Nicoll’s journey from feckless gambler to calculated trader shows how rose-tinted optimism – coupled with knowledge – can ultimately pay dividends, not only in trading but also in the tricky business of life, love and friendship. Laughed like a hyena.”

“I read your entire book in one sitting. It was fab. The last time I did that was when I was seven and read Snotty Bumstead. I know of no higher praise than that.”

“One of the funniest and witty books I have read. Following Sally’s hilarious rollercoaster ride from gambler to trader and the goings on of the “Primrose Hill Mob” will amuse and entertain you even if you have no interest in spread betting. Buy it!”

“Read this book in just 2 days. I could hardly wait to see what new adventure was on the next page.”

“Jane Austen it is not, Sally Nicoll it most certainly is, and none the worse for that. Bets and the City keeps you turning the pages. You just have to find out whether the girl made her millions or went bust.”
