Neil Channing - Before the Game

Tikay10

Poker News has published Part 1 of "Before the Game", which seems to be a story, in his own words, of Neil Channing's gambling career.

Interesting read.

TY Tikay.
Great read from "NC retweeted" as he is known on FB! lol
Prob the 2nd person I'd like to see on "This is your life"......

I wonder if Neil agrees with a quote from a recent Eli Elezra statement:

"When a poker player decides to lend another poker player money, they do so with the inherent risk that it might not be paid back"

Maybe it's just a Vegas thing?

Not reallly..
In REAL life there is a saying " Lend money..lose a friend"

Yup I agree. Neither a lender nor a borrower.

I believe Mr Elezra's first career was in Mossad

His second career was as an international arms dealer, specialising in sales to Arab countries

Let's face it-NO-ONE in their right mind is going to fail to pay him back!

He's just released his autobiography if you're interested Phil.

Very good read he has had an interesting life.
