Smart Money

Preacher – get me some bourbon. JTS Brown. No ice; no glass.

Preach!
Go down and get me some White Tavern Whiskey, a glass and some ice.
Preach... Get it at Johnny's!

Nice to see that you all know the lines to this movie.
I've said this before at VCT so you'll have to excuse me.
The interesting concept is that White Tavern Whiskey wasn't a real thing in real life.
Therefore, many believed the writer put this in showing that Fats was hustling Eddie.
Drinking Colored Water and acting a little tipsy.
All the while Eddie was playing over 25 hours and drinking JTS Brown like a Fish getting drunk.
JTS Brown was a real life whiskey at one time or another.
Fat's knew all the angles.
And, of course, Fats was a fictitious character but NY Fats screamed up and down that it was based on him.
And claimed the name and made a ton of money off of it playing the real life player Mosconi who was more like the Fats character in the movie.
Fast Eddie Parker said that Felson was based off of him and he made a bunch of money off the name.
I'm pretty sure he started a brand of pool cues and such off of it.
And the beat goes on and on and on.
Just sharing what you all probably already know.
Mosconi was a Fucking Alien though at the game of pool and straight pool.
And he was great in the movie The Huster as well!

Now I have a request for everyone no matter what side of the fence you stand.
Stop telling people "good luck."
Especially people who gamble mid level on up.
Talk about the kiss of death.
Nothing is worse than hearing those word and immediately start to lose every Fucking Bet lol.
Phil Ivey hates when someone comes up to him at the dice table as he is mid bet.
He gives you that look and tells you that if he starts losing now he is going to be one pissed off Mother Fucker.
Same concept.
Every time I hear someone tell me Good Luck right after a bet it is 100x worse than nails on a chalkboard.
Of course it is hooey.
You can't control the outcome by saying those words or walking up to a person.
It is more an etiquette thing like telling someone Thank You.
And you all can take "Thank You" and shove that up your ass too.
You don't have to thank me.
I do what I do because I want to do it.
No thanks necessary.
Now if someone says Best of Luck Kid... Best of Luck, I give them a pass because that is a line from Happy Gilmore but you better know how to say it properly, like Chubs!
