At the cashier's cage at most casinos in Las Vegas, there is a pamphlet titled, When the Fun Ends.  Crazy Philadelphia Eddie and his friends definitely tried to beat the odds at the ponies and the tables.  The sporting life introduced him to a lot of interesting characters like Bernie.  Bernie wrote a book called, Green Fever.  It was never published, but talking with him on the phone, he told me about the time Sharon chased him around the car with a kitchen knife while Eddie stood on the hood saying, "Watch out, Bernie!  If she catches you, she will cut you!!!" As intense as a wife with a knife can be, for some guys that does not usher in the end of the fun.
