- Frank_Erickson abstract "Frank Erickson (1896 – March 2, 1968) was born in New York to parents of Swedish and Irish descent. After the death of his father, he grew up in an orphanage. Frank Erickson was Arnold Rothstein's right hand man and New York's largest bookmaker during the 1930s and 40's. Eventually, Erickson became very well known among bookmakers nationwide for handling "lay-off" bets. With Chicago's Moses Annenberg, Erickson developed a country wide wire service, making possible for the first time nationwide synchronized betting. Erickson never saw any of these profits because soon after, bookmaking became illegal and the government took over. In Robert Lacey's book on Meyer Lanksy, Erickson was named "the largest book maker on the East Coast, if not in all America." Additionally, it is a little-known fact that many of Erickson's profits went to charity. Along with many other ventures, he was a major contributor to the construction of a children's hospital in NYC. His image was bashed by the media because of supposed connections with the mob. These allegations were never proven. See Wiki article on Frank Costello: "In fact, Costello and Frank Erickson, the overseer of Costello's bookmaking operations, are credited with starting the layoff and odds systems used by bookies and gamblers all across North America."He died on March 2, 1968 from cardiac arrest while undergoing surgery on a bleeding ulcer.".
