Certainly not... A proverbial Robin Hood, I'm sure.

But, out of curiosity, what percentage of the guys betting another man's proposition in Thompson's time were simply degenerate rubes or ham-and-eggers with mouths to feed?

You can't cheat an honest man! But you can damn sure cheat a greedy one! Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

A person's driving along. They see a woman passed out in the road. They stop to help. Two scumbags emerge from the shadows and relieve the good samaritan of his valuables and his faith in humankind.

Those aren't con men. They are thieves! Big difference!

There are con-man free zones and non con-man free zones. Pool rooms are NOT con-man free zones and nearly everyone that has stepped foot into a pool room understands this, especially when it comes to prop bets. It's really no different than sitting down and playing a game with children that requires bluffing -- it's expected!

Now thievery is another matter. Of course there's no honor among thieves.

Now carry on Dean we've all been in a pool room before.
 
I have put a PART 2 on here somewhere

Pool rooms are the perfect example of the short con

I am attempting to tell stories of how Titanic and a band of Gypsies taught
the LONG CON principles to the same arena and instead of winning hundreds
THE KID won millions,

If you guys want to hear the stories that produced by far the
biggest scores the pool world has ever known be nice
have fun and possibly see why you never get in on the big action
and why pool players can never seem to find action once they
play pretty good

I will tell a few stories as long as you guys have fun and don't complain

PS
For $24 cash I will refrain from telling these boring stories for a week

I was wrong to get so carried-away trying to make a point that didn't need to be made, especially not in the context of a nostalgic thread.

Keep doing what you're doing, Dean.

I'm sorry, everyone for the nasty disruption.
 
Pool brings together strange bedfellows.

let us all bask in the love until my next post
concerning the proper way to fleece your fellow pool addict
