I got the info off wikipedia...

So true about degenerate gamblers.. That's all people need in common to be best friends.. Cause literally that's all they talk about.. I actually think gotti used to bet through jackies book.

I mean at one time "technically" jackie once had the book, hal irving and a piece of the javits until the big guy got it. He had hal irving claimed and that in itself is a gold mine. Talk about a horrible gambler with a ton of $. That's how jackie got his "job" at big geyser. Fuck he was on the payroll and got the jaguar as a "company" car.. Not a bad set up.. I also heard for being in that life he is a really nice guy. Heard he's never even raised his hands at anyone. Which I don't know is 100 percent true but to not let your ego and position turn you into a bully tells you something about his character.
