Former Chicago Outfit Bookmaker Tells His Story + His Super Bowl Pick

Deskripsi

John Murges grew up in Chicago. His father lived in the same building as Tony Spilotro and came up running the streets. Murges would eventually get into gambling subsequently out of high school meeting enforcer James Lavalley and Nick Gio and ultimately getting a job in an Outfit betting wire room where he ran operations. He saw it all and lived a wild life booking some of the biggest events during the 80s and early 90's and kicking up to "the guys" as he calls them. He decided in 1995, it was time to move on and he now lives in Florida with his family living a different life. He still enjoys betting and is here to tell his very eventful story.
