The biggest bettors I have seen or heard of by decade (at least $1,000 a game at times):
1960s-Hornreich, Lemon, Davie May, RC from Florida
1970s-Daley, Kidder
1980S-Daley, David Ozio, Richie and Joe Messina
1990s-Daley, Snake Lorenzo, Billy Red Cowan, Norm Duke ...OldTimer
Article:
There was this guy named Jack Weinstein in the 60s who was a 180 at best, although he would get hot every now & then. He would come to Ave M in Brooklyn NY with a pocket full, at least 5 grand or more and willing to loose it, which he did many times, big, big, money in the sixties. Mac, Stoop & Bernie had his number for about 2 years, they lived off of bowling him all kinds of odd ball games. He loved bowling against the big guns from "M" even though he couldnt win. He must of lost at least 100 grand at the lanes. He was related to JW Mays, owner of Mays department stores. For some reason the only one that couldn't get into his pocket was Butch, Jack would bet on him, but not against him, you figure it...Terry
