Thanks goes out first to Mike Massey who gave me the 7 and played one handed
Jersey Red deserves recognition for giving me 3 pockets to his one
The funniest thing about this was that every time I went to the urinal ,
people would stand on each side of me and say"don't you think its a bad game?"
True story
Cliff Joyner who gave me 9 to 4,with me breaking and picking 4 balls
Tommy Rey was in with me and Cliff didn't know it,so he whispers in Tommy's ear'
"I've got the nuts"
Tommy pulled up,but I had heart for a few more games,until tragedy befell me
John Hager Sr who pretended to stake me playing Vernon Elliot one pocket
and left with me to pay with the promise of selling up later
I believe this record still stands,but I am told it is part of an old trap
called the triple steer
This did allow me to establish two records
1) first time staked
2)
first player ever losing his own money while being staked by someone else
Of course it would not be right to omit Jeremy Jones who gave me 3 hit and the pick
or
Richie Rich who gave me 3 hit and the pick
and no list would be complete without remembering our own Gary Nolan AKA Bushwhacker
who gave me too much to remember only to out run the nuts
to my great dismay
Jackpotter AKA Oak Cliff Shorty AKA JACKPOT ON AZ who gave me the 5,6,7,8,and the snap who
told me his baby son could win with this lavish spot
Atlanta Danny gave me 9 to 2 with him breaking
and left with my dough before he got in trouble trying to rob the bank with a watergun
Norm Hitchcock was kind enough to give me the 5 and the break on a soft 8 foot table
in Oklahoma City while Buddy was playing Grady on the 9 foot giving up the 8
Ronnie Allen gave me 9 to 3 in Torrence California since I was new to town
The Old Grey Fox aka Robert Burrel back at the cotton Bowling Palace was gracious enough to
"let me learn the game of one pocket"while my scratches didn't count
Junior Howard gave me 8 to 1 but I had to bank my ball clean,since I had just lost a big chunk but had a chance to get even with the nuts
U J Pucket once let me beat him at one pocket ,only to win all my money betting on some college champion
Bob Owen allowed me the privilege of playing him even in Witchita Ks
on his super fast tight tiny pocket Gold crowns
But now they tell me that I am smart or" a Smart",go figure
Jersey Red signed my "One Pocket moves and Strategies "book
"if you could play like you match up, I would need 8 to 6"
At first I thought it was a compliment until I
reviewed the track record
I will be in Houston Wednesday,please call me and offer me the nuts
I will be riding with Bob Owen the cue maker
With disclaimer as follows
Bob wants it understood he has no part in any of my games
Let it never be said that Dean Campbell ever turned down the nuts
or at least what he thought was the nuts
It is not fair to misrepresent your true speed,if i find out I was bamboozled I will pull up after only a few sets
You must display a large bankroll and post up front
No small sets of less than $500
Feel free to share similar stories,I would hate to think that I was the only one to ever get beat being staked or with the nuts
oh yes i lost $2000 to Joey Barnes with 3 hit and the break,only to win back $1000 with 4 hit only to see Joey pull up because, he stated " I would not play unless i had the nuts'
The crowd agreed with him,I later discovered the crowd was betting on him.
"Black Sam" of Dallas deserves honorable mention for making me think I could win with 8 to 6 and the break,I didn't realize what hit me even when Larry Fisher AKA the pool detective who bet over $100 pr game to start,his personal high at the time
I had opened the window and was covering all bets before I realized I had a bad game
I was rewarded by the guys telling me that i had a lot of heart.
I took this as a small concession prize at the time
At the time I thought it meant I had a good heart generous or stable
I was later disappointed to learn that the good term 'Heart" was spinned
to mean a sucker who sticks around long after any normal person
would have quit
Since it made me feel beter about myself I took it as a compliment
Anyone with a bankroll is invited to offer me the nuts this week
It will definitely be my last trip away from home,and if you guys
let this opportunity pass,you WILL be kicking yourself
but honestly don't these games sound like the nuts to you?
Would this record cause you to conclude that I was
a)smart
b) a sucker
c) unlucky
d) playing too cheap
e) playing too high
don't worry about hurting my feelings
please call to arrange an appointment in Houston if you have
any money
If you are short of a bankroll Dennis Glenn stakes anyone that I play if he is present
