Part 17

I was truly taken back when I was told Dennis thought I had been sending players to other Casinos but after hearing why, I understood! Turned out that Glen was telling people to pull out of ESB and go to a Sports Book that was paying faster and giving larger bonuses, it was and still is a common thing for cappers to refer players to casinos that would kick them back money or a % of the loss. I honestly had no idea this guy was doing this but now I had to prove it to Dennis, and that was not going to be a easy sale!

 After a few days I met with Dennis and saw the fire in his eyes, he was convinced I was in on it and told me he does don't trust Italians especially from the New York area! I plead my case but was told even if I was not involved that I am still fired since I referred Glen and said he was a good guy.. Turned out Glen persuaded 3 small bettors from ESB to shift over to The Greek where he had a working agreement and was friends with the owner, I believe his name was Spiro.. To this day I don't know how it got back to Dennis..

 It was mid November 1995 and I was jobless with only 20k to my name and stuck in Allentown, the last place in the world I wanted to be.. I reached out to Jack Price and he told be I could come back but I would have to wait to next FB season as he had a full staff and was still a bit upset with me for not returning in February.. My plains were to return to California after the Holidays and go back to work for Price once FB started up... 

 Life is very strange, you never know what each day brings.. On December 10th 1995 life brought be another surprise, one that would keep me in Allentown & eventually lead up to me meeting my wife..
