[iCountNTrack]

With much enthusiasm i would like to announce that our next chat guest for T will be none but Al Francesco!!!. Al Francesco is one of the seven original inductees on the Blackjack Hall of Fame, he is also the original pioneer of the "Big Player" concept for team play. Al is very down to earth and really nice to chat with. The chat will be on Thursday July 23rd at 9 pm Eastern.

Wasn't he the guest last week? Perhaps we can sign him up as a permanent guest host.

Last week he just stopped by to see how the software works.

...he is also the original pioneer of the "Big Player" concept for team play.

Not according to ZGI -

To his credit, [Revere] was the true inventor of the ‘Big Player’ team approach that was borrowed and
improved upon by Al Francesco, popularized by Ken Uston, and further perfected by the MIT
Team, and others. Barred universally in Nevada, he would make frequent casino trips abroad with
his all-girl team of apparent "nieces" and "daughters."​

Since they were friends how do you know it was't Specs that borrowed it from Al?

 

[RJT]

Is anyone taking transcripts of these chats?
With some basic editing they could make for some fantastic content for the site.

RJT.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, Zg . Everybody missed it. Al was a NO SHOW.

We may have missed Al, but chatting with mdlbj & ZG last night more than made up for it.

Thanks guys.

Follow up

Does anyone have an update on Francesco's status after last week's no show? Has he been rescheduled or was he even contacted yet?

 

[KenSmith]

I haven't heard anything, but then again I never asked anyone to follow up. That part I can remedy.

I hear he's joining Mike Aponte to help teach the upcomming counter-catcher seminar. zg
