Of all the players who have ever lived, none was better known than Nicholas Andreas Dandolos, aka; Nick the Greek. The year was 1946. Benjamin “Bugsy” Seigal had just opened the Flamingo Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and things were about to change forever. For the next 20 years, the mob maintained a steely grip on legalized gambling in Nevada.
It was during this time that the legend of “The Greeks” had begun to take hold. Although he was well known and appreciated in Damon Runyon’s hay days of the 1920s and 1930s, it was his adventures in Las Vegas that solidified the mystique surrounding the man.
There are so many stories attributed to the Greeks that it is difficult to separate fact from fiction. The only reliable accounts I have were told to me by my father, who had spent as much time in Vegas as the guys who empty the slot machines.
As a young man in his early 20s, Nick was engaged to be married and the day before the wedding, his fiancé ran off with another man. Heartbroken, some friends took him to the race track to distract him.
As the story goes, without rhyme or reason, Nick proceeded to randomly pick 8 winners in a row, leveraging their bankroll by nearly $20,000. From that moment on, the stage was set and our hero never looked back. Some people believe in fate, others don’t. In this situation it is difficult to call it something else.
At the craps tables, he was a confirmed don’t pass bettor who always put full odds against the point. He was a fearless player with an uncanny grasp of the mathematical percentages of any game proposition. He had very good judgment and an innate instinct to find an advantage.
As with most experienced players, the methods they use to increase their bets when on a winning streak were for the most part intuitive. When you’ve been playing for so long, a lot of it becomes second nature.
The “Greek” was also known to use a tray system, as he called it. This was a method of locking in a portion of his winnings to ensure he wouldn’t gamble it all away once he had a winning session.
Using an example; Starting with $1,000, you go on a winning streak. Gradually increase the bet up to $1,500. He would then secure $500 (50% of his initial bet) and continue playing with the rest. If he won another $500, he would lock it up and play only with the winnings.
This is a very smart money management system that protects your capital and allows the player to try and build another level using their winnings. Every time it hit another $500 level, it locked it out and refused to play regardless of any lucky streaks.
Nick The Greek seemed to have an inspired ability for any type of game. He was a believer in luck and recognized that all luck, good and bad, works in cycles. He knew that the best way to take advantage of those cycles was to bet big when he was working for you and minimize his bets when he was going against you. This procedure would guarantee that your winning bets would all be significantly higher than your losing ones.
One night at a dinner party, Nick turned up for a high-stakes poker game. About two hours later he walked out of the game having lost $250,000. He came out on the dance floor laughing and joking and having a great time. A friend came over and asked him how he could be dancing and in such a good mood after losing a quarter of a million dollars. With a big smile on his face, he looked at his friend and said, “Your life doesn’t go with that.”
Perhaps the reason the legend of Nick the Greek is so enduring is because he was clearly a very classy guy. He was also known to say, “the only difference between a winner and a loser…is character.” For our purposes, we will call it self-discipline.
El Griego was said to have won and lost around $400 million dollars in his life, close to a billion dollars in money today. Nick died broke in 1966, but I never got the feeling that having a lot of money meant that much to him anyway. It was just a way of keeping score.
