"Most gamblers would rather lose a lot, rather than win a little" dude, so true

[AwokenEntertainment]

these are the type of videos Vice built their identity on, would be nice to see more of this style come back..

[nunyobiznes]

I dont think we’ll get pieces like this for a while… RIP Michael. I have never seen an interviewer treat and get treated so well and respectfully by the bad guys lol

[Oblivisci........]

RIP to Michael K Williams. Truly a great actor and great human being. The world will miss you.

[stevegarfi]

dude at the end seems like a stand-up, law abiding citizen

[iainclark]

I would find it hard to trust a private game, there are too many scumbags out there looking to scam there players

[asiansneaker]

"for that paper, I'll knock Jesus Christ off, man." wild

2:30 Omar asking if the game got robbed...Marlo pissed 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[qualitests]

RIP Michael K William aka Omar, still crazy he passed. miss his documentaries

[huelaurie]

one of the most interesting videos you have put out and it's super short. These are the ones that should be 40 minutes long.

[huaijiutv]

These guys seem like they are actually proud of their robbery. Geez

[kantu]

he said for that paper he'd knock jesus christ off LOL

[hammertyme]

I played in gambling houses for years and even ran one. Its a very lucrative business. I was there when a place got hit. 3 guys got away with over 100k cash. Never caught them.

6:09 "For that paper, I'll knock Jesus Christ off man" 😂

[joshchannell]

such a nice gentleman he interview at the end. truly a man we should all look up too!

[BAGofTALENT]

That security guard on the last one is like chill bro i still work there my man 🤣

[AncientConquests]

“Most of these guys would rather lose alot then make a little” this is so true, everytime I would start out with small bets win a bit of money and absolutely not care about a few thousand because it felt like nothing and then I would lose it all not really care but deposit more and more until it spiraled out of control

[reddoordentrainingcenter]

Would love to see more about poker in New York

[johnyoung]

The lengths people will go to, not to work is astonishing.

[RockyC]

Reminds me of the Dave Chapelle World Series of dice skit when Rodney “Quills” Dinkins robs everybody 😂
