The book of Casino talks about some of this.

In it, Lefty Rosenthal is asked by Tony The Ant Spilotro for what basketball games to bet on that weekend and keeps getting “no comment” in response.

Spilotro finally hands him the whole list of games and Lefty makes two check marks.

When asked about it, Lefty mentions how much is being bet and implies that he is making the bets for Spilotro’s bosses in the Chicago mob.


Lefty continuing to make money for them is part of why he never got killed unlike a lot of other potential liabilities.

My father and uncle stayed at Lefty Rosenthal's place in Miami in 1960s for a weekend visit. They know/knew them all. What Lefty did for Chicago and KC, my uncle did for the Little Man for 40 yrs..

A massive Whale/BM/Handicapper as to be able to beard action into other mob controlled BMs around the country undetected, as to not aggravate or alienate their sensibilities..

It was the only way to get down that massive sized action back then. Even the LV joints were owned by Chi, KC, The Purple Gang,etc.
