He did say though if he had not given up roulette (which he did about 10years ago) He would’ve ended up skint in 5 to 10 years Can believe it mate. Evil game, impossible to beat over a period of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot win long term (I’m sure you know). He must be doing huge stakes so it’ll probably be sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him a few times in Vegas many years ago, either winning 12 million or lose and 12 million, little difference. Also had a game of craps with Bruce Willis one night and he was doing a little jig and dance Every time he got the dice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stories are legendary, not sure if he has a biography, that would be a good read. He hated the casinos I think but was very generous with the croups, he heard one was having trouble paying the mortgage once and threw them a few chips worth over 100k, mental.

I think most barbers are. Especially the 'turkish' ones. Just fronts to launder money and people smuggle. Same as nail salons.

The barber pays a weekly rental for the chair and pays all his own expenses for supplies and keeps the rest himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it frankly astonishing that you could be so fluent and accurate in Demglish after such a session. You were demonstrably, for all to see, unaffected by the alcohol. Ha , Seems I got off lightly after I left my mate fell over and cracked his head on the corner of a table , blood and quite a long cut when he sent the pics this morning 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
