A reader letter from Fano Craven of Hot Springs Arkansas offers a gambler’s perspective on monte games. He asserts monte is a doomed con, notes sharpers exploit victims including clerics, and urges readers to avoid “square” faro or pee games while condemning monte backers. The piece contrasts a veteran gambler’s disdain with a humorous NY Sun anecdote about Col. Dodd era associates.
