When a major losing streak leaves him busted and unable to cover his losses, Mahowny develops an ingenious plan to play the bank against the casino. But with time running out and the odds stacked against him, obsession becomes compulsion and the thrill of the bet is quickly replaced with a primal desire to stay in the game. 'No Limit' the Incredible Obsession of Brian Molony' by Gary Ross was a most enjoyable read. The true story is about a Canadian banker, Brian Molony, who used his access as a bank manager (one of Canada's youngest) to feed his gambling addiction.

A passion for gambling has been running through Brian’s veins since a very young age when his father used to take him to the racetrack and teach him secret gambling techniques and strategies. When it came to major sporting events at his school, Brian would act as a bookkeeper for his friends.

His father was a Doctor while his mother stayed at home to take care of their four children: Brian and his three siblings. After high school, Brian attended the University of Western Ontario where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism in hopes of becoming a financial writer.

Upon graduation, he applied at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and scored so high on their entrance exam that he was immediately put on the fast track to earning a managing position.

Brian had a serious girlfriend throughout college and was living with her in a small apartment near the High Park neighborhood while he was working there. By the time Brian turned twenty-six years of age, he was named assistant manager of his branch, which is an amazing accomplishment for someone so young.
