Default I Wonder if it was Robert Redford

Last time my wife Lynne and I were in Las Vegas, we were with some friends. My friend is in the same business as I, actually a competitor, and our wives are friends. During the day my friend and I are working the trade show and our wives are out spending money in the shops. Neither of them really gambles.

So we go to dinner one night, a good time is being had by all, wine is flowing, food is great, and my friend's wife casually mentions that Lynne won a hundred dollars playing craps today. My friend and I are incredulous. "I didn't even know you knew how to play craps," I say.

"I don't," she says. "We were walking through the Bellagio and there was this loud yelling from one of the tables so we went over to take a look. I didn't understand what was happening but this nice looking older man in a beautiful suit was throwing the dice and he asked me if I would kiss the dice for him. I didn't want to, they're dirty. But he said please so I did it and he threw them and apparently it was good, because he won a lot of money and he gave me a hundred dollar chip. I thanked him and went and got cash for it."

If she had turned down the million for the next part of the plot, I would have killed her. Alas, it didn't come to that. Or so she says.

Good story.

I've always wondered in a *pair of good looking charming women could play craps for small stakes with big stakes players all around them and just clean up getting an occasional big chip from the "ballas" when they go on lucky runs making the other players big money.

* I say pair because my understanding is that an unescorted woman in Las Vegas is treated like a hooker.

I know of guys that make money playing craps by betting the table min when there is a big player around. Often the same people that will bet thousands at craps believe in luck and will give the guy rolling the dice a few hundred if they get a nice 10k roll.
