Although I find it inspiring that King (who is a very successful person whether I like him or not) was broke at about the same age I am now and still went on to become rich and famous, going to the track and lucking out at 100:1 odds was not the life-enhancing advice I was hoping for.
Larry King will milk any "story" for money, just remember what he did after Princess Diana's death. No other CNN personality, except maybe for Lou Dobbs, makes me cringe like King does, ugh!
I found it interesting that he said that winning that $8k was, "Up to that point, that may have been the happiest moment of my life." How many kids did he have by that point? Just seems odd that this would rank above your kid's birth.
