I think you're probably right Cinccinnati Kid. I wish I'd gotten more specifics from this guy about where he saw this, but I assumed at the time he was probably misinterpreting whatever story he'd seen. I mean, if I remember right, he was talking about a single session win from a "counting team" that was several million dollars. That's just hard to swallow, even if he wasn't talking about Detroit. I'm pretty sure there was some misinterpretation or exaggeration there - for all I know, he may be interpreting any kind of team action, like the grifters in the Cigar Afficianado scheme, as a counting team. I will try and get more specifics when I see him again.
