Funny story about Showbiz
|
And I don’t think he’ll mind me telling you. He’s a gambler and golfer, so you know he bets with his buddies on the golf course. When he was in college, he used to bet with a bookie. After a while some of his friends on his dorm floor would ask him to place a bet with Showbiz’s bookie. In time, Showbiz just started to take the bets and covered them himself. He confessed this to his bookie and his bookie said no big deal. He couldn’t keep up with it anyways. So, Showbiz actually became a bookie and that’s how he paid for college by taking bets. Don’t tell him I told you this.
