A FEW YEARS BACK I WAS SITTING IN THE CHAIR IN ONE OF THE LARGER OFF-SHORE ESTABLISHMENTS.
THE HOUSE POLICY WAS NO ORIGINATORS OR MOVERS.
IN AN EFFORT TO ADHERE TO THIS POLICY CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD THAT IF ANYONE WAS LOOKING TO POST UP A LARGE SUM OF MONEY THE PROSPECTIVE CUSTOMER HAD TO TALK TO ME FIRST.
IT WAS AUGUST AND THE BEARDS WERE OUT IN EARNEST PREPARING FOR THE COMING SEASON.
MOST MOVERS KNEW THE POLICY THERE AND OTHERS KNEW I WAS SITTING THERE AND SO I WAS GIVEN THE COURTESY OF BEING PASSED OVER.
HOWEVER ON THIS GLORIOUS MONDAY MORNING,BRIGHT AND EARLY THERE WAS AN EAGER BEAVER WHO WANTED TO POST UP A 100 LARGE.
THE FOLLOWING IS AN ALMOST VERBATIM CONVERSATION:
REALITY:
GOOD MORNING SIR,I UNDERSTAND YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST UP A 100 DIMES WITH US.
PLAYER:
THAT'S RIGHT,I LIKE TO MAKE AN OCASSIONAL BET ON THE T.V.GAME.
REALITY:
YOU MUST HAVE A WORLD SATELLITE DISH IF YOU NEED THAT MUCH MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT TO BET THE T.V.GAME,YOU MUST WANT TO BET ALL THE GAMES ON T.V.
PLAYER:
I LIKE TO BET.
REALITY:
YOUR NOT A "BEARD" FOR ANYONE ARE YOU?
PLAYER:
WHAT'S A "BEARD"?
REALITY:
A "BEARD" IS A PLAYER WHO MOVES THE GAMES FOR AN "ORIGINATOR".
PLAYER:
WHAT'S AN "ORIGINATOR"?
REALITY:
AN "ORIGINATOR" IS A PROFESSIONAL GAMBLER WHOSE GAMES ARE SO STRONG HE WIPES OUT THE SCREEN IN 30 TO 60 SECONDS.
PLAYER:
WHAT'S THE SCREEN?
REALITY:
THE SCREEN IS THE DON BEST.
PLAYER:
WHAT'S A DON BEST?
REALITY
LAUGHING AND PISSING HIS PANTS...)
IT'S A WEB SITE SERVICE WHICH DISPLAYS REAL TIME ODDS FROM THE BIGGEST SHOPS IN THE BUSINESS FOR A MONTHLY FEE.
PLAYER:
I NEVER HEARD OF IT.
REALITY:
SO LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS YOUR SENDING A 100 LARGE BECAUSE YOU LIKE BETTING ON T.V. GAMES YOU CAN WATCH.
YOUR NOT A "BEARD",SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SCREEN TURNING BLACK AFTER YOU PLAY,IS THAT RIGHT?
PLAYER:
THAT'S RIGHT.
REALITY:
I KNOW YOUR PLAYING ME LIKE A FIDDLE,BUT I'LL TAKE A SHOT WITH YOU.
THE SHORTER THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE TIME YOU MAKE YOUR BET AND THE TIME THE GAME STARTS,THE SHORTER YOUR CAREER HERE WILL BE,YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
PLAYER:
YES I DO.
REALITY:
AND YOU STILL WANT OPEN AN ACCOUNT HERE?
PLAYER:
YES.
REALITY:
WHY?
PLAYER:
BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL GET PAID.
REALITY:
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
PLAYER:
MY FRIEND WHO IS A PLAYER THERE HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN PAID IN THE HIGH FIVE FIGURES AND EVEN SIX FIGURES ONCE ,AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM OR DELAY.
REALITYLAUGHING KNOWING HE JUST GOT HOOKED)
O.K.WELCOME TO ********* IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU JUST ASK FOR ME.
THIS PLAYER CLEANED HOUSE FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON.
THE BEAUTY PART OF IT WAS HE PLAYED EARLY IN THE WEEK AND THE LINE NEVER MOVED UNTIL 2 HOURS TO POST ON GAMEDAY.
ONCE HE STARTED CLEANING HOUSE,THE CHARADE WAS OVER.
I GOT HIM ON THE PHONE WE HAD OUR LITTLE CHUCKLE AND I AGAIN REMINDED HIM THE SHORTER THE TIME BETWEEN THE TIME HE BET AND THE STARTING TIME OF THE GAME THE SHORTER HIS CAREER PLAYING THERE WOULD BE.
HE ALWAYS BET EARLY AND NEVER ASKED FOR A PENNY OVER THE LIMIT.
ALL THAT TIME DURING THE WEEK TO WORK THE GAMES HE PLAYED.
DURING THE ENTIRE FOOTBALL SEASON I HAD JUST 3 CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM AND DESPITE LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH HE WAS ALWAYS A GENTLEMAN.
HOW STRONG WAS IDENTIFYING THIS PLAYER AND WHAT HE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE?
IT WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL SEASON OF MY CAREER.
KNOWLEGE TRULY IS POWER...
