Talk:Johnny Moss

message: Sources, etc. for anecdotes? They're good ones but without sourcing have the ring of urban legends.--Bltpdx 21:52, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Most sources say that Johnny Moss won eight WSOP bracelets, but the Hendon Mob says he won nine. This would be possible if Johnny Moss' win at the 1970 counts as a bracelet. I don't want to change this and be incorrect. If someone had some input on this, we might be able to fix it in the article. Any suggestions? Red Director 23:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The WSOP itself says 9: Main event 1970, Limit Ace-to-Five Draw in 1971, Main event in 1971, and then the others.  I noticed that it was listed as 8 on the bracelet winners page as well.  Lauracs 16:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

text: It's now corrected. Here is a list of bracelet winners from thehendonmob.com Although he received a silver cup as his prize in 1970 it is still counted as part of his total bracelet count, even though it wasn't until later that actual bracelets were awarded to WSOP winners. His record is also listed at the Official website for the World Series of Poker which also gives his bracelet count as being nine.▪◦▪≡ЅiREX≡Talk 14:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Didn't Moss win a famous court case against the IRS where he proved that poker is a game of skill and not gambling, therefore taxed at a lower rate? If so, I think that should be in the article.  Bubba73 (talk), 06:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

message: That the date is prior to the opening of the Horseshoe is significant. Also, in a bio of Nick, there is no mention of his playing with Moss at all altho Moss along with Jack Binion were listed in the book's final chapter as pallbearers.
I had never considered that it did not happen at all, and attributed the date simply to a mistake and perhaps the omission in Nick's bio to it not reflecting well on him. 
Is "mob boss" Benny Binion really the best 2 word descriptor for him?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Damedley (talk • contribs) 17:41, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I did, and I guess the main point I am making is, a bio of Nick the Greek doesn't mention the match with Moss, either.--Jrm2007 (talk) 07:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
