LOL, yep! Very interesting story no?

For me, both these guys led very interesting lives. And on a personal note both were highly successful but completely "NON-violent"

That caught my eye as well


I believe the vast majority of bookmakers are nonviolent. If you stick to just taking action and know what you're doing it can be peaceful. I had an uncle who was strictly a bookmaker for decades and he made a fortune and never had to use violence. My father was a bookmaker and a loanshark, and lending out money was much more stressful. There were a few times when my dad had to use violence, but was lucky enough to beat a case where he was looking at substantial time. He always preached to us, his son's, to never get involved in it.
