Better Fighters than Gambler-Con Men
The most memorable episodes have Bret and/or Bart conning the conman. Case in point--John Dehner as the unscrupulous banker who somehow steals all of Bret's winnings. they're memorable because they're too few and fafr between.
The Mavericks are proud of their reluctance to get involved or put another way, their straight-out cowardice. Their mantra "He who runs away, gets to run away another day." Yet, in most episodes the Mavericks prevailed with their fists and firearms rather than their brains.
