1
00:00:39,860 --> 00:00:42,440
"Winner, winner, chicken dinner."
2
00:00:43,650 --> 00:00:47,200
Those words had been dancing
around my head all night.
3
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,570
I mean, it's Vegas lore, that phrase.
4
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:54,790
Just ask any of the old-time pit bosses,
they'll know.
5
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,460
It was a Chinese dealer at Binion's
who was first credited with the line.
6
00:01:03,170 --> 00:01:06,170
He would shout it every time
he dealt blackjack.
7
00:01:06,260 --> 00:01:09,760
That was over 40 years ago,
and the words still catch.
8
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,850
Winner, winner, chicken dinner. There it is!
9
00:01:11,930 --> 00:01:14,350
"Winner, winner, chicken dinner."
10
00:01:15,470 --> 00:01:16,930
Yeah, try it.
11
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:22,190
I had heard it at least 14 times that night.
12
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:24,440
I couldn't lose.
13
00:01:25,690 --> 00:01:28,610
First of all, what I was doing wasn't illegal.
14
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:31,950
There were certain institutions and people
that frowned upon it,
15
00:01:32,030 --> 00:01:34,200
but it's legal.
16
00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:36,080
And not everyone can do it.
17
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,370
Just those with gifted minds.
18
00:01:38,580 --> 00:01:40,500
I have a gifted mind.
19
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,630
That's what got me into all this mess.
20
00:01:44,170 --> 00:01:49,220
I was counting cards
and I was up over $640,000.
21
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:54,100
All right!
I'm just gonna have to split those tens.
22
00:01:54,180 --> 00:01:56,930
- Splitting tens.
- Splitting tens again.
23
00:01:57,020 --> 00:01:58,980
Well, that's all right.
I've been winning and losing for years.
24
00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:01,100
We used hand signals, too.
25
00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:03,400
Folded arms, the table's hot.
26
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,940
...
