Titanic Thompson would bet on anything, and usually win. And usually because he was cheating. It's one of the many reasons Titanic is the greatest gambler in American history. He hustled golf at country clubs with a young Ben Hogan. He hustled pool halls across the country with Minnesota Fats. He even cheated the man who fixed the 1919 World Series out of millions. All while dating starlets like Jean Harlow, having features written about him in Sports Illustrated, and competing in the first-ever World Series of Poker.
