@pizza,

Interesting that you're aware of bolita and bolet....because from my understanding Cubans and Haitians occupy different worlds/social strata in Miami.
Since most people don't venture/learn about other ethnic groups at all ,either you are a well traveled, naturally curious guy...........or you're the bank for bolita/bolet ring.:)

Speaking of the Caribbean and the numbers game though...does anyone know of a documentary about Madame St. Claire? In the film "Hoodlum" and in "Cotton Club" she's portrayed as one of the only leaders of numbers rings that fought back when Dutch Schultz muscled in on the Harlem numbers industry.
