My Retraction Of Terry King /Chip Reese Comment
It comes four years after the fact because I have only recently resumed a friendship with Terry, Chip Reese's ex-girlfriend (after being out of Vegas for a long time) who only now pointed out my error. When I went into some detail about Chip's pre religion cheating days in my book Geeking, Grifting and Gambling, through Las Vegas, some two plus two posters found it hard to believe. I thought the easiest way to show that I knew what I was talking about was to reference a statement that Terry had made on a podcast that I had heard essentially agreed with me and implied that she knew what was happening while it happened.
I now found out that that wasn't true. Her statement was more along the lines that before Chip got religion he may or may not have been bad and it wouldn't have surprised her, but she had no knowledge of any of it. What she does know was that Chip promised her to be squeaky clean after he got religion and she is sure he kept that promise.

This is barely gossip, let alone news or a view, can't you just change your opinion quietly? You don't need to announce it, neither you nor Chip are such persons of interest that we the public need to know when you've changed your opinion on some historical quirk that someone's found a magical belief that other people somehow interpret to mean 'he's straight now', which is high
You’re not the public, you’re on a near empty message board regarding a fringe niche activity in which Sklansky was like John Havlicek and Chip was like Magic Johnson.
If Sklansky & Chip aren’t persons of interest here, who is?
And it fits the literal definition of gossip lmao—podcast, book, and this post.

Just to set the record straight, David was not a co-founder of this board. It took me several months after we started these forums to convince him to participate.
The way this board began is that someone else suggested the idea to me. I then contacted Chuck Weinstock to see if he could put it together, which he did. And that's how this board was started.

Thanks for clarifying, sorry I got it wrong.

Crazy ive been here over 20 years and never knew this.
Mason, as far as cheating going on back then....is there any truth to guys like Anthony spilotro rigging games at the casino? If so, and considering how dangerous it would be to run a home game back then, I can totally see pros being backed into a corner.
Itd just feel very risky to be playing in any of those games back then.
If I remember right, him and Doyle found the Christian God not all that long before Chip’s death. I remember the cancer miracle story with Doyle and how he was filled with cancer, then they went back to open him up and it was all gone. And they had a Christian pray over them. He didn’t really dedicate himself until years later with Chip. I remember Chip saying something about how he was fascinated by it for a long time. Sorry if this doesn’t belong here.
