Here’s an interesting list of “gambling’s best,” though not one on which I concur. I didn’t know these players, so I certainly can’t argue definitively against their skills, but I’ve also never been persuaded to believe in dice control. At least not to the extent that it can be a consistent winning strategy. With that position stated, I’ll say that I like reading about some of the colorful characters of the past. That Maxim blackjack game did indeed deal through the entire deck, and Paul Keen (I believe that’s the correct spelling), would certainly talk to you for as long as you had time to engage during a visit to the awesome Gambler’s Book Club. We all have our opinions. We all have our lists. They’re just made up of different names.

The Greats: A Look at Some of Gambling’s Best
People have a tendency to catalog other people, places, and things as greats or not-so greats. This must be a part of our emotional constitution to define everything and everyone.
Fighting? Muhammad Ali versus Joe Louis? Who would win? Ali versus Marciano? Ali versus any name you want to put here. Ali versus Tyson; the young Tyson? Sometimes these debates can turn, well, brutal. I rarely take part in them. But I am certainly aware of them.
