Craps The Captain of craps is real

First, Superrick, I did use quotes from the post just above mine.

As far as serious talk about the Captain's roll, there was talk. In fact, there were a lot of people standing around the table; players and casino personnel. The people you talked to (noticed I didn't say "claimed" to have talk to because I am not doubting you talked to some people) just don't know about it.

No one is under any obligation to publicize table game wins (slot machines, maybe) and to do so you need the permission of the player. Pat DeMauro gave permission; the Captain did not.

Look, the Captain was real; his roll was real; people knew who he was --- many of them casino people. The casino honcho from Tropworld who busted his, the Arm's and Jimmy P's chops knew who he was. I do mention the names of some of the people who met him. You just have to re-read my new book I Am a Dice Controller.

As far as revealing his name? I promised him I never would (living or dead) and I never will. It is as simple as that. Look, I promised Dominator who stole almost 51 thousand dollars from me that I would not reveal two things about him in my new book and I kept my word. There are plenty of famous anonymous people in history --- even recent history --- who are not known although we know their exploits.

Seriously, would his barber know that the guy whose hair he cut was the Captain? My barber knows my name is Frank but he has no idea that I am a writer. Would some store clerk or waiter /waitress who took his credit card know this man was the Captain? I mean he did use his real name in all these circumstances. He never wore a Captain's hat (as some Internet ploppies think). In real life, as opposed to casino life, he was not the Captain --- he was who he was.

I know of no one who hated his guts (at least among the myriad people I met who knew him as the Captain or as himself). In fact, people loved him. In my book I give the reason why this was so.

In fact, if I had not written about the Captain he would have remained in obscurity. He had no interest in publicity. As Ralph Kramden said and it holds for me, "I have a BIG mouth." As a writer I wanted to tell his story and share his ideas. He was gracious enough to let me.

In fact, in no uncertain terms I owe him my success as a gambling writer.

 

Frank Scoblete - Why didn't you ever have The Captain (or The Arm) meet your regular craps "Crew" or at least make a cameo appearance at any of your dice seminars like you have done with the famous World record holder Patricia Demauro???

From Howard Rock n' Roller as posted in a thread Re: Travels with Howard rock n roller:

 

It's the unknowing, the mystery surrounding the Captain that in part gives FS books there appeal. In my mind's eye I see the Captain looking like Bob "Bucko" Fuller, and too The Captain is more like a Minnesota Fats than a Fast Eddy, Fats was likable, Fast Eddy wasn't. If FS gave the Captain his word he wouldn't reveal his true identity, well that is good enough for me...he is keeping a promise, and in today's world that is a rare trate.

 

Frank,...Sorry I have never read your new book and it looks like I never will unless it becomes available in one of our local libraries here in Vegas.


There are plenty of things that someone will tell me that I will not tell anybody when they say this is just between you and me. But they didn't die, where their little secret wouldn't hurt them, unless they were cheating on their significant other and it would hurt the ones they left behind.


Here is the thing that doesn't make any sense with your story with the Captain, he didn't want his name out there, so you wrote about his roll, sorry it just doesn't add up. You broke your word to him, by even mentioning the roll.

 

Not at all Superrick, not at all.

 

I have given my word to the Horseradish King that I would never divulge his name in life or death.
I am the only person who knows he is the Horseradish King. He never let on to his barber, people who knew him from the horseradish fields where he worked his magic, local business people who suspected he was a true Horseradish King, that he was a man of royalty.

Yes I am the only one who knew him as the Horseradish King, He didnt wear a Horseradish hat like they wear cheese hats in Wisconsin. The people who gave him his colonoscopy every 2 years had no idea.He had no horseradish tatoos to give it away

He never gave any indication to anyone but me that he was the Horseradish King. SO I am the only one that is keeping the secret. I elevate myself by claiming this secret knowledge. How important must I be to be the keeper of suck super secret information.

And the proof of the validity of what I say is that I proclaim that I promised JP that I would never divulge his woeful penis size as disclosed to me by his ex-wife

So there it is...I too am the keeper of a valuable secret. A secret that id disclosed would rock the world. And its me me me that holds it. I am so cool. Please look up to me as a credible source of information involving horseradish royalty.

Its as if he has been in a witness protection program. Although he worked his magic in public.....no one knew.

What is the reason or purpose of the secrecy. ,,,,I cant make up a good one,,,,SO i WILL JUST SAY....."JUST BECAUSE"

According to him, the world is a bunch of dunces like the folks who never figured out Clark Kent was Superman. Never once did anyone figure it out.

Only in the comic books

or gullible peoples minds

 

LOL

 

Larry S, are you saying you don't keep your promises?

 

As Pressit pointed out, until Frank can verify anything, it's just a novel .... and Frank agrees

 

NO
I was very clear that I am keeping my promise. I have declared that I am self important because I own the information about the identity of the Horseradish King. I still havent disclosed it. By declaring I have this information I shine the light on myself and hold myself up as being more important that I truly am. Why cant I divulge his name?????the answer is........"because".

I also promised I wouldnt divuldge the size of JPs woefully small penis. And I still havent .

So I am an egomaniac that claims to have information about a man of royalty in the realm of the Horseradish fairy kingdom. The ability to proclaim I have this info and yet withhold it for no real reason makes me feel superior to everyone in the world. I am so cool. And the great thing is.....no one else in the world can divulge this info nor can they get into the recesses of my mind to disprove my claim.

I have all the bases covered.

 

Tell us some of the accomplishments of the Horseradish King? He sounds intriguing.

 

Oh, Harley, you misread my response and Pressit's quote.

 

Oh,..Frank I think Harley in one of his rare moments was just trying to be nice. I know that he has read you new book!

 

At the end of the day I have to ask myself how does FS revealing or not revealing the Captain's true identity going to improve my life? It's not. FS is still going to write books which will include exploits of the Captain, and people will continue to buy them, and FS is going to pocket the profits. In today's world anyone can find out the true identity of the person behind their online name if they want to spend the time or pay some information broker/PI to do the work for them. I'm still surprised no one has revealed MP's true identity, and MP is still among the living.

 

his accomplishments may or may not include a cure for cancer, developed a sure fire method to calculate totals on all football games after the game has ended, coming in second on Algerias DWTS, accumulated one of the most complete beanie baby collections in the world, Self published "A Complete History of Sandpaper". Had sex change surgery to become a woman, and then had sex change surgery to become a man again 10 days later. Donated his appendix to his dying ex-wife. Graduated with honors from Univerisity of Phoenix. Knocked out Floyd Mayweather in a private bout at the Oakland YMCA in 2012. He could eat at Taco Bell without getting diarrhea. He spent the last 8 years of his life living in a horseradish field, living solely on horseradishes and rain water.

I could go on, he was a rather modest man, and he would frown upon me going further.

 

He was quite accomplished. You were lucky to have known him.

 

Gullible is as Gullible does ....

... and something to consider

 

Poor Joel, common sense over comed by a tad to much greed.

 

So LarryS,... I have only one thing to ask you,..When are you going to write about that 188 roll he had.

Oh,....That right you do not have anything to sell so we won't be seeing a great piece of fiction coming from you to sell on axis craps shooting.


Shame, Shame on you, you should had started your own DI school, with your writing talent you could have sold every sucker out there a $5000.00 class on becoming a DI and never looked back!

Then you could have added the crowning touch, twenty years later and came out and told everybody that you were just the greatest fiction writer of all time on becoming a DI.
You would have surpassed the great fiction write,..The Madprofessor and all those that have not came out and said it's only fiction guys!

Maybe on some of their death beds they will come clean, but that story is yet to be written!

 

for teh first time ever I would like to correct larrys......nobody can eat at taco bell and not get diarrhea.
