Re: Barrys book - 30 million from dice, craps and heads up poker
If I'm not mistaken, at one time Archie had all of Binion's chocolate chips (5,000) in his possession from dice. He was originally a dishwasher who loved to gamble and obviously had the run of a lifetime and ice in his veins to shoot it up that high and then lose everything.

Re: Barrys book - 30 million from dice, craps and heads up poker
really good story... but jeez, is it really that much fun to "sleep in the back of a car?"
Can you ever really be "successful" if you gamble with millions and millions of dollars ?

I take it he won't play more than Stud and Razz for big money, or else why not go crush the big game? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

B Baldwin must not be very good anymore or care because I've heard gossip that he's was one of the big losers in the big game [/ QUOTE ] If this is true, it's probably because 99% of his time is spent working nowadays. BB doesn't play that much any more. BarryG has said, however, that once he gets warmed up, Bobby is a world-class player once again.
