I really shouldn’t let the Johnnyt is a BS artist bother me, but it does a little bit. No I’m not well known like Jay or Freddy the Beard who played just about all comers, and I didn’t want to be. I wasn’t as good as of them either. I have admitted time and time again on here that if I knew a place where top players from the area and tough action was…I avoided it like the Plague. I wasn’t playing pool to bang heads with players I couldn’t or probably couldn’t beat. I was in it purely for the money. Yes I loved the game, loved the hustle, but making money at it always came first for me. If you were seen playing with well-known top money players (even if you lost to them) the easy action would dry up very fast. If that’s a nit in your book, so be it.
I have played many top players over the years like Buddy Hall, Mike S, Allen Hopkins, C M Lee, and many more, both men and women pros. Like I said in many threads on here over the years, I mostly only played them after I made a good score at the dog or horse track. Never out of pool winnings. Pool winnings always got reinvested quickly for something of value or resale value. If any of them want to come forward that would be fine.
I’ve stated on here before that I always reinvested my pool winnings on something of value. I’ve also stated I owned or was partners on a little less than 200 Racing Greyhounds, that ranged in price from $2500 to $26,000 each. I am a partner in ownership still on Dodgem By Design, the second top-producing stud dog in the world. He has brought in over $700,000 in racing winnings and stud fees so far. We paid $24,500 for him at the National Greyhound Auction if I remember right. Most Greyhound players have seen my name (John W. Terrell) in the programs at many Greyhound tracks around the country. I’m sure Charter Kennel, Red Rock Kennel, Marriott Kennel, just to name three out of probably 30 kennels I’ve had dogs with and I’m sure will vouch for me.
Over the years I’ve staked some top players 50/50 and many more both male and female that I just helped with expenses to enter and travel to tournaments, asking for nothing in return. Some are members of AZ, most are not to my knowledge.
I said on here that I did some writing. Go to Amazon.com and other online bookstores and you will find my work. The story “Hustling Under the Radar” is a true story, the rest are mostly fiction.
As far as anything mob related that I said on here…forget about it, I’m not going there. Johnnyt
