Benjamine
Yarbrough and student "former World Champion Gil Castillo"
selected for "King of Vegas" final qualifying.
Hello fellow gamblers,
I have just returned from Atlantic City (N.J.) where, after being
selected from thousands of applicants, I competed with some of
the top gamblers in the country in the final qualifying round--the contestant
seated next to me was "Steve Zoin?" who finished 2nd in the World series
of poker a couple of years ago. (Anyway they will select 12 supposedly "top gamblers" from around the world) for the
King of Vegas 10 episode gambling competitions to be filmed in
Las Vegas and aired on Spike TV in 2006. Admittedly,
At 55, I am probably too old, slightly podgy, and generally not that “good looking” so my chances for making the final group will be slim. (Apparently,
how one looks on camera will be one of the final determining factors
on who is selected for the final group and who isn’t).
Even if I am not selected, one of my High Stakes students Gil Castillo
(a world champion welterweight Ultimate Fighter) who was selected
for the qualifying round in Los Angles, may make the final cut. I wish
him great luck!
Be Well!
Benjamine Yarbrough

Wardrobe:
Please dress as though you are going out for a big night of gambling
at your favorite casino. We want to see the real you, so don't hold
back! However, please stay away from wearing all white, all black and
big logos across your chest, as they do not come across well on

Please bring a PHOTOCOPY of your driver's license or passport with you
and a pen.
What to expect:
You will play a few different casino games with other applicants. Our
staff will be evaluating your play, but we will not be judging you solely

Your homework between now and Sunday is to brush up on your blackjack,
craps, Texas hold 'em, pai gow poker, and Caribbean stud game play. We
are rooting for you. Good luck!

Based on successes in
other areas, and the financial boldness this promotes in tackling new challenges (like casino gambling),
no group is more "IN NEED" of the insightful assistance a good coach can provide. Also, considering that
most casinos seem to be lining up to take advantage of these players in one way or another, I have decided
to teach them how to fight back by winning more often.
