Kenneth Uston, blackjack player extrodinaire, died twenty years ago today.
You may have liked him or not liked him, but you gotta admit he put on one great show!

Ya, i seen him a couple of times on the discovery channel. What a great act he had. I loved the part when he asked the pit boss to go make some big bets for him, which of course, was his job, when being signaled from the team
He actually looked like some kind of pimp, with long hair.
Walking around drunk all the time, with this john gotti atitude. What a sight he must of been to see.

I must confess, if i see that program again ill have to watch it a third time.

Actually, that was Bill Erb at the Aladdin in 1973. Ken Uston just took credit for it in his book.
