of money. This could have, theoretically, been quite lucrative, but
they had a $20,000 a week gambling habit (or drug habit, or going-on-
expensive-vacations habit, or ???) that left them broke.
Reminds me of a column you wrote that one of the things that
attracted you to Shirley is her ability to keep money!
BTW, about an year ago I saw a TV segment on Las Vegas cheaters. One
went to great lengths, buying very expensive machinery ($50-$100k
investment), and duplicating the casino tokens. They couldn't really
detect the difference in the tokens, even though they suspected some,
and sent them to a lab for analysis. He was finally caught when some
of the tokens jammed in a machine, and unlike the usual player who
would get some one to come fix the machine, they walked over to
another machine, and started playing there. This aroused suspicion
and they were kept on a watch and finally caught.
Another segment was on this flashing light device. It performed way
better than the guy expected. He calculated that if he stuck that
under the tray, it might register a few hundred coins a minute, but
it did ten times that! Again, he was caught not because they saw him
using the device, but becasue he got greedy and started selling
copies of it to his freinds, and pretty soon the secret wasn't
contained.
I may be a bit fuzzy on the details here; its been an year since I
saw it.
