You talked some fucking game Mr Big Shot on that podcast, and then you mental midgets dont even realize the line isn’t up on the main event for the only fucking show in town at the moment. What happened? Jose and Rosalita were outside taking a fucking cigarette break, or you were in the back sticking your pecker in the auto mover?

Game recognizes Game.... I always knew Ray was a bad MoFo before I knew Ray was a bad MoFo.
Most importantly, this podcast is GameBred approved.... listen to it twice and then listen to it again.
And that's all I gotta say.

Ray was "pushin' a cab" in his early 20's in New Orleans.

RAYCABINO moved to Las Vegas in 2003.
First year-and-a-half or two, he was strictly playing poker.
Started gambling professionally on sports in 2005 until 2013.
Built a big bank betting derivatives and eventually football totals.
Why move to Costa Rica?
Developed a good relationship with the CEO of Bookmaker and he made an offer RAYCABINO could not refuse.
