I BET NOT CRAP

“So you shot him, how bout some ice cream?” In the 1989 movie Harlem Knights in the back room of Ray’s Place, a dice game was taking place. As I shared with you previously the energy of the shooter is the energy of the craps table. Until it’s not.

During this craps game features a few comedians' late great legends like Reynaldo Rey and Richard Pryor. Of course, he was the house for Sugar Ray’s Place. After a would-be young Eddie Murphy child enters the game to deliver cigarettes to Ray the game takes a deadly turn.

We are currently two days away from the BIG GAME happening in Paradise, NV. Today I wanted to share with you the best way I know how to avoid getting bitten by “Snake Eyes” whilst at the craps table. Harlem Knights was written by Eddie Murphy.

Whatever we feed and give energy to, it grows. A classic example is this dice game. After crapping out, the loser attempts to stick up the game for all it's worth. Blaming it on the child’s presence as “Bad Luck.” After Ray cannot locate his pistol with a knife at his throat under the table the young Murphy shoots the would-be robber straight between his eyes.
