Frank Scoblete has always written about "The Captain" a player without a formal identification who dominated the craps pits in Atlantic City with his "crew" of expert "dice controllers" until his death a few years ago.
Frank has written about The Captain throwing the dice 147 times in one hand before a 7-out, breaking the record number of rolls held by Stanley Fujitake of 118 at a casino in downtown Vegas which was later broken by Patricia Demauro who rolled the dice 154 times.
The epic rolls of Fujitake and Demauro have been documented. See:

Curiously, outside of Frank's books and articles, there is no other "news coverage" of The Captain and what was his record roll.
Did it actually happen? Or was literary license used to create a character to illustrate a story?
