rocknrobn26 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 RIP Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal..... He was a bettor's god! Started a whole new industry in Vegas, and had a major movie about his Vegas career. No tears per say, but a genius in his own right.

rocknrobn26 Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Just watched Casino the other night .... Great flick. Guy was definitely a pioneer. TY, JY! This guy inspired one of the best Vegas/Gangster movies ever made not to mention he "invented" sports books, and no replies. I'm not saying I'll miss this guy like Newman or others, but Rosenthal was a genius and made sports betting what it is today and w/ all the gamblers around here I felt he needed some acknowledgment.
