Don’t forget Archie The Greek. After he won all that money, he told me he gambled half a million a day for over a year, til he lost it all back.there are just too many other great named gamblers with or had a lot more charisma and did more interesting things.
like amarillo slim, ty thompson (who they did a movie about), bet a million gates, nick the greek, jimmy the greek, jack strauss, even danny d.
and yours truly, 40 years ago i had three different small movie companies make me offers, told them to go away. all it does is ruin your life for a small payday if you arent famous from other movies. etc.
Artie’s story is a good one, but he is not interested in putting out the parts that would sell. Like Bill said, it’s all about telling how the FBI and Vegas screwed him.
