Bob Ney Is Lying about Winning in a London Casino


staff - Posted on 15 June 2006

Bob Ney is flat out lying about how he came about that $34,000. He claims he won it by playing just 3 hands of cards in a London Casino.

Trouble is, in Britain you couldn't just walk into a casino and start playing cards. Until 2005 you had to register, then wait 24 hours. It was meant to allow impulsive gamblers a cooling off period.

Did Bob Ney really go to a casino, register with them, then go back 24 hours later to play just 3 hands of cards ?

Reporters should call Ney's office and ask for the name of the Casino he alledges he won at, then call that Casino and ask them to check their registration book. I would bet a large sum of money his name is no where to be found in that book. They should also check his travel records to see if it was even remotely possible. Was he in London long enough to pass the registration period ?

They should also ask him what card game he was playing where 3 hands could net him $34,000 from just a $100 front.

I wrote about this on my late and not-lamented blog last May.

Strangly, the Dispatch article I linked to is still online.

The last line in the article is instructive:

Maria Slater, a spokeswoman for the casino, described Les Ambassadeurs as "exclusive. It attracts the top players globally. If you go to Les Ambassadeurs and you are playing with just $100, you will feel a bit out of place."

coincidently that $34k was just enough to pay off his credit card debt.

I think I'll be calling Les Ambassadeurs

Ryan's our resident high roller ... howze about BSB send him on an investigative road trip?
I'm ready to go! Seriously. You can't even win $34,000 playing baccarat in 3 hands. Of course...if anyone wants to send me on a little research I would be happy to go!

(so ney paid $1,700 to walk in the door and bet with only $100??? and i don't believe they comped him that fee...if they are charging international whales, they are charging him) that'll definitely keep the "problem gamblers" away...I think we've found the compromise solution. jill?
Cute, but no dice. Pun intended.

When do you point out that he did so playing in slots in Michigan which he could have done and supported Ohio's college bound students if Ohio's Learn and Earn passes? E-mail me and I'll tell you where to send my royality check. j/k.
glory hole
what are your consulting fees? lol

Hey, even the politicians have to go to Michigan, and even London to gamble. So I guess this means Ney and Boehner support gambling in Ohio, right?

Why don't you ask them if they'll endorse Learn & Earn, then? Boehner's endorsement would go a long way for you to win Butler County.
and we will ask for an endorsement. Not sure if we will get it. But hey...

OK, enough with the advise or I may really have to pay you. j/k
