Regarding the great Lem banker. Richard Rander AKA Jai alai took over for Lem, giving out picks for whatver publications/TV.

Jai alai was indeed a very good guru sports bettor. Very smart successful Advantage Players invested with him and he made 100's of thousands, only to fuck them out of it.

Others made a lot of money off Jai alai's picks, but they knew not to give the guy any money.

I warned people about him, but they didn't listen.

I was asked to listen to the facts and help negotiate a settlement between Jai alai and another party(we will call him Joe) Jai alai said he knew I was biased against him personally, but he knew I would be fair based on the facts alone. Jai alai's only defence was the fact that he was certain that Joe would have fucked him so he fucked Joe first and kept the money. LOL. Obviously, I sided with Joe, and as predicted, Jai alai never paid.

Fun Fact: Early on, Jai alai wanted me to lie for him regarding his poker winning sessions so he could get himself into some record books. It's amazing the lengths people will go to for notoriety in the gambling world.
