I hope you're right. DiLiberto sounded pretty sure of what he was stating.I still haven’t heard anything.
When I do I’ll make a post. I hope it’s just a rumor. I have some good Richie stories too! I’ve only known him since 91-92 ish. So I missed the good part!
archie has a brain anueryrsm, is that as bad as it sounds
that archie is some character.
he is one of a kind
why don't you tell us a few stories, i am sure everyone would love to
hear them
i barely knew the guy, visited a few times,could not agree on a game
surely he is the last of his kind
Someone on TS stream chat said today that it was a month or so ago. Tried to msg. DiLiberto but he's not around today.We got in touch with Lou, he hasn’t heard anything about Richie in a long long time.
I don’t know who else to call. Harry Platis knows him well, I’ll call Harry today.
Yeah he had that smile and could earn anyone’s “trust” fast. He was a great craps hustler in Vegas for many years. Then he would go to the Shoe and play what ever he hustled up that day. And do it all over again the next day.
I’ll call Harry and see what he knows.

Richie From The Bronx, 9-Ball Richie, Mr. Nine Ball. All of these nicknames he was gifted with. A few posts above are in error. Richie played everybody and barred no one! Let's set the record straight there. Nobody gave him a spot at 9-Ball! He was the one giving weight to other good players.
Richie Ambrose (correct last name is D'Ambrosia) was one of the premier 9-Ball players of his era, his prime years from the early 60's until the mid 80's. I would guess his age at close to 80. I saw him during the World Series of Poker last year. He was hustling Craps backers, extolling his "system" that he developed many years ago. This has been his "play" in Vegas for the last 15-20 years.
I could say a lot more about him but this will suffice for now.
