Book Details

Policy and Numbers Gambling an often Untold and Overlooked Piece of Organized Crime in America

A historical account of Theodore “Teddy” Roe who courageously fought the Chicago Mafia aka The Outfit, for control of the lucrative Policy/Numbers racket. During the time when the mob was muscling in on the Policy/Numbers game that for decades had been a staple in the African-American Community many knuckled under the pressure. However, Roe was one who didn’t fold. He famously told mob bosses that he’d rather die first than give up control of his operation. This book details Roe’s courageous battle.
