Amarillo Slim

I was reading about the upcoming movie bio about the life of Amarillo Slim and it mentions a $2 million dollar bet that he won from Larry Flint. Anyone have any idea what the peramiters of that bet was? Sounds Interesting. Thanks.

Probably some scam he lifted from titanic Thompson....

Slim was a cheap phony con man, turned mediocre road gambler, turned bookie, turned American institution, sexist, turned Anti-semite.

Now his sad ass is just a pedophile.

Means he was on the talk show circuit for awhile in the late 1970's and old people know who he is even if they arent poker or gambling fanatics.

You'd probably get a better response on one of the poker-related forums.

You put that into the other thread about this subject too.

Just curious - where are you getting this, well, info, if it can be called that?
