Guess which of the following gambling related items are fact and which are fiction?
1. When you add up all the numbers on a roulette wheel, they total 666
2. There are 1,598,960 potential 5-card poker hands within a 52 card deck
3. The largest legal wager ever made was an unidentified individual who bet $2.4 million that the 49ers would win Super Bowl XXIX
4. Bugsy Siegel named his Las Vegas casino the Flamingo after the long legs of his showgirl girlfriend
5. There are 33 million ways to make B-I-N-G-O on a ticket containing 90 numbers
I'll be back soon to reveal the answers!
Cheers,
Sky

And the answers are (drumroll please).................... 1. TRUE (Creepy? Yes! But does not mean by playing the game that you worship the Devil) 2. FALSE (There are actually 2,598,960 potential 5-card poker hands within a 52 card deck) 3. TRUE (The 49ers won and the bettor cashed out $400,000 on 8 to 1 odds) 4. TRUE (Virginia Hill conveniently left town on a sudden, unscheduled flight to Paris just days before Bugsy was gunned down) 5. FALSE (There are 44 million ways to make B-I-N-G-O on the ticket containing 90 numbers) Happy New Year! Sky Quote:Guess which of the following gambling related items are fact and which are fiction?
