LANDO : "Why, you slimy, double-crossing, no-good swindler! You've got a lot of guts coming here, after what you pulled."
Was it just winning the Falcon?
We know it's a double bluff (or maybe a triple bluff as Lando had Lobot ready with a plan B) but any fun, silly or serious theories as to what Lando was referring to?
I think it was nothing. Lando was just f-ing with him.
+1 Actually Han didn't pulling anything. Lando was the one pulling Han's leg... :-)
Nah, I think there must have been something.
CHEWBACCA: Grunts.
HAN: Well that was a long time ago. I'm sure he's completely forgotten about that.
...and...
HAN: (To Leia) See? My friend. (To Chewbacca) Keep your eyes open, huh?
And of course, the fact that Han won his ship. I like to think there were other hiccups in their friendship, not just the ship. Perhaps Han "borrowed" a cup of sugar and never repaid.
The Han Solo Trilogy by A.C. Crispin explained it, but I can't remember what it was. It's too long ago since I've read it.
cue lame wookieepedia entry explanation in 3,2,1....
"Well here's a big bag of rock salt" - Patton Oswalt
'Bore-ring'.
I always figured it was him stealing the Falcon away from Lando.
Though he claims he won it fair and square.
A criminal winning a game of stakes fair and square,lol.
Or maybe he stole one of Lando's girlfriends or something, who knows.
“Always loved Vader’s wordless self sacrifice. Another shitty, clueless, revision like Greedo and young Anakin’s ghost. What a fucking shame.” -Simon Pegg.
It doesn't fit for me.
He mentions Han pulling 'something' and then pulls the "What have you done to my ship" in a different tone, Han's response seems (to my ears) to project a different defensive tone.
As if winning the ship genuinely was 'fair and square' but whatever he 'pulled' was worthy of worry.

If it was that it's also staring him right in the fucking face.
For the record I didn't read that wookieepedia entry I just assume from the responses it references Han winning the Falcon from Lando.

"Well here's a big bag of rock salt" - Patton Oswalt
Han winning the Falcon and what Lando was supposed to be upset about are two separate things. As someone said it's covered in the Crispin books.
Here's how it's described in the appropriate wiki entry:
Solo's heaviest involvement with the fledgling Rebel Alliance occurred when he and other smugglers, including Lando Calrissian and Jarik Solo aided Bria Tharen's Red Hand Squadron in raiding the Ylesian colonies and putting them out of business—a plan endorsed, aided, and supported by Jabba, a business rival of Ylesia. In the subsequent battle, the Alliance forces were victorious, but several smugglers were killed. Han and his smuggler friends were double-crossed by Tharen who seized all the spice and treasures that were to be the smugglers' reward for the Alliance. Soon afterward, he met with Tharen again during a Hutt-sponsored treasure hunt for the Yavin Vassilika. Once again, Tharen took the prize for the Rebellion, while Solo and his smuggling associates were left with nothing. Solo and Tharen left on poor terms on both occasions, since Solo refused to give up his independent ways and join Tharen in the Alliance. However, most of his fellow smugglers assumed that he had been working with Tharen from the beginning. Even one of his closest friends, Lando Calrissian, said that he never wanted to see him again.
It loses a lot in that bare bones description of the events. The book is actually very good from what I remember. I'd recommend them to anyone. What it also leaves out is that Tharen and Solo were both in love with each other once upon a time. As I said you have to actually read the books to get the full context.
