What’s ‘Artie B’ up to these days?

 Las Vegas has had more than its share of gamblers with impeccable instincts and skill at more than one game. Arthur Bodendorfer, known on the street as “Artie B,” is one of the most gifted.

Not only has he had a head for numbers in the bookmaking and sports gambling rackets, but he also is known as a supremely gifted pool player. He’s the kind of player capable of plying the trade at any level as long as there’s money on the table – especially big money.

These days I’m told Artie B is working in Chicago at a high-dollar pool tournament. Only a few years ago, word was his gambling runners were often ripped off by persons unknown.

I wonder if Artie B. would consider granting me an interview. I’d love to know the details of some of the very capable billiard players he’s beaten over the years for enormous sums of money.

The number is 702 383-0295, Mr. B.
