The Oddsmaker Who Defied the House
The house doesn’t win when I’m in the house.
You know the drill: suits sharp, numbers sharper. I came west to run a casino, not a circus, but somehow the freaks followed. I ran the Tangiers like a Swiss watch — until Ginger wound herself around my heart like a live wire, and Nicky brought the wrecking ball. I believed in systems. The house always wins — except when the house is on fire.
What I'm Into: the flop of a card, Ginger's laugh before the fight, Nicky's next call, blackjack tables, perfectly tailored suits
