Who is tHE bIG pOSSUM?
David “tHE bIG pOSSUM” Shippey has been casino gambling since 1969 and his passion is the craps table, but he has had equal success at blackjack and roulette.
He is not a professional gambler, nor a card counter, nor a casino shill…He is just an ordinary guy who also happens to be an author, a mentor, and a casino gambling expert.
His nickname…tHE bIG pOSSUM…actually comes from his golf game. Which by the way is not very good, he is an 18 handicap (on a good day), which means he shoots in the 90’s most of the time and does reach the century mark on some days. But, he has always had the uncanny ability to actually par or birdie the hole with the big money on it, and was more than one time accused of playing opossum…the name stuck and at 6’ 0” 235 pounds it was easy to add “BIG”…hence tHE bIG pOSSUM.
While gambling has been his lifelong hobby and not his profession, it has yielded him a good part time income!
Other than spending time with his grandchildren or taking in a baseball game, there is no other place he would rather be than at a casino.
Reminded of the line Robert Duvall delivered in “Apocalypse Now” while standing on a beach in Vietnam. He said. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning”…WELL…
tHE bIG pOSSUM sez: “I love the smell of a casino anytime!”
Know your play. Know your way.
