Christ is good fellas! A man without Christ is no man a all. Billy opened his heart to Christ and he is a new man. He truly lives by the Gospel as I do. Christ will protect you from Covid-19. Please open your hearts to Christ!
Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

If you're a seasoned sports betting veteran you know the name Billy Walters. If you're new to betting, you might not. But you should.
Simply put, Walters is the Babe Ruth of sports betting. He is considered the sharpest and most successful sports bettor in modern history, possibly of all time. He is the ultimate shark, whale or wiseguy. In his heyday, sportsbooks feared him so much that they refused to take his action. The ones that did take his action would move lines immediately based on his bets. He was so dangerous that he had to hire people to anonymously place his bets at different sportsbooks so the house didn't know the bets were coming from him. The people he hired to place bets were known as "runners" for short. It's estimated that Walters has made roughly $500 million betting on sports throughout his career.
Walters, 73, is back in the news this week because he is set to be released from prison Friday or Saturday. In 2017, Walters was sentenced to five years at a minimum security prison in Pensacola, Fla., for insider trading. He was also fined $10 million. Per the terms of his release, he will be allowed to serve the remaining time at his home in Carlsbad, Calif.
Walters' imprisonment was a result of a $40 million windfall he received through illegal stock trading in a company called Dean Foods. His close friend, Thomas Davis, was the former chairman of the company and tipped Walters off to non-public information.
The case gained national headlines back in 2017 because it included Phil Mickelson. The golfer earned $1 million in Dean Foods stock, based on Walters' tip, and used the earnings to help pay back Walters $2 million in gambling debts. Mickelson avoided punishment by agreeing to repay his winnings to the SEC. Walters was livid at Mickelson for not coming forward and testifying on Walters' behalf in the trial.
Walters was born in Munfordville, Ky., in 1946 and grew up poor. He was raised by his grandmother. Before he was a successful sports bettor, he started off as a used car salesman in Louisville in the 1960s. He was incredibly successful through a tireless work ethic and went on to start his own dealership in the early 1970s. In 1982, he quit the car selling business and moved to Las Vegas to bet on sports full-time.
Gambling was always in Walters' blood. He placed his first bet on the Yankees to beat the Dodgers in the 1955 World Series (he lost). Legend has it that he made thousands playing pool by age 15. He found great success betting roulette, craps and blackjack. He won the Super Bowl of Poker in 1986. But Walters has also gone broke several times along the way.
Walters really made his mark in sports betting in the 1980s when he joined "The Computer Group." It was one of the first betting syndicates to take in data, simulate games and correctly predict final score outcomes. It revolutionized sports betting. He focused mostly on football and basketball. Walters was known to rake in roughly $50 million per year.
In 2011, Walters sat down with 60 Minutes to discuss his career in sports betting. When Walters entered prison in 2017, Nevada was the only state with legalized sports betting. Since that time, the federal ban on sports betting has been overturned and we now have 21 states with legal betting across the country. The landscape has completely changed.
Imagine the damage Walters could do in today's market.Comment -
He could do no damage all the lines are the same and the limits are very low Brock act like you’ve been hereComment -
still as $62 million and he's a thief ... case closed.Comment -
Walters uses sports betting to launder his money made from insider trading; he should stay in prison and be given coronavirus.Comment -
A few new pervs fresh out prison showed up in my hood in the last couple days.. Peepers scoping it out.. My gun is ready and loaded!!

He ruined his life simpleComment -
Should have never went to prison in the first place.Comment -
The combination of Walters’ age and the spread of COVID-19 throughout the U.S. prison system are a key component of why Walters is being released from custody.
He will serve the remainder of his sentence in his San Diego home. He will be considered a free man on February 14, 2022.Comment -
What about Adam Meyer, will they let that fuckin’ prick out of jail too. He use to hit on my ex-wife when he went to the bank to deposit money. She was a bank teller & she told me he was loaded in his hay day from being a tout not necessarily from being a great sports handicapper.Comment -
Well actually this is probably why he had so much money in his bank account.
