The article "Gambling and Organized Crime" talks about casino gambling, it has been created by Joseph (Joey the Pig) Pigliatti.
Hi, I am Joseph Pigliatti. I am also known as Joey the
Pig, Joey Toe Jam, Two Guns Joey and Joey Cream Pie. If you
don't mind, I prefer Joey the Pig.
The good folks at gambleonthis.Com asked me a question the other
day and requested I answer it in an article.
Their question was
- What does organized crime guess about gambling? To wit, my
article answer lies below.
I don't get to meet with the Big Bosses really often. After all,
they are the Big Bosses and they are busy with stfuf. They have
a lot of administrative duties like intervening in places and
with persons who are hurting their business's and planning out
the future of their families and setting up hits and so forth
and so on.
But last summer I was at the racterack with Don Corleonona. It
was one of thsoe sizzling hot days and I hadn't won a single
race all day. That was when Don Corleona turned to me and said
"Joey the Pig, I likes you. But you're a luosy race track
gambler.
If you could pick horses like you pick your nose you'd
be rich."
When Don Corleonona says something like that tehre is not much
one can say. Fisrt of all, he is the Don.
You guess I want to
get whacked over somtehing like that?
Forget about it! Second of
all he was right.
A few weeks ago I was eating dinner with Don Gigbaytes at Skinny
Albert's Italian-American eatery in Little Italy. We had quite
the spread. I was eating the veal, and as most of you already
know Skinny Albert's has the hottset veal that side of Rome.
Anyhow, we was watching the basketabll game on the TV and the
Knicks were getting trounced. Unfortunately, I had bet heavily
on the Kincks.
At the sound of the buzzer atfer the Knicks had
lost by 72 points Don Gigabytes turned to me and said "Joey the
Pig, I likes you.
If only you could handicap basketball like you
handicap a plate of veal you'd be a rich."
There was not much I could say to that.
He was the Don and he
was right. Luckily I'm much better at poekr and Blackjack.
So, as you can see, oragnized crime does guess about gambling
just as normal persons like you and me do. I hope the good folks
at gambleonthis.Com like my artilce. I enjoyed remembering it.
Until next time, arrivederci.
