Don't listen to this BS, fellas. If you send ME some points, I will flip a coin to determine the winning wager. You don't want to miss out on my late-breaking coin toss!Comment -
Has it ever even been proven this guy actually won all those bets or is he nothing but an adam meyer?Comment -
That looks like a great interviewComment -
That PILE OF SHIT in your avatar is what you are trying to feed these young uns
that shit don't flush ........get off the BW ego train.........there isn't a casino in Nevada or an offshore book that DOES NOT want his action, they welcome it !!!
Last time I looked the casinos keep getting bigger & bigger, no fools there
BW ............Made his $$$ long before the info was widely available , the internet KILLED any edge us old gamblers had..........
b4 the net, you couldn't even get who or who was not playing, you had to have a line service 20 years or mor ago at the tune of approx $500 a mo which was a chunk of change back in the day
Now every swinging dick thinks he is a " sharp bettor ".........all that most do these days is DONATE , with an occasional score here & there to keep you going. At the end of every year, your stuck your lungs !!!!!..........but you have aquired an ADDICTION that keeps you betting more & moreComment -
where does he get accommodated for such large bets?Comment -
Yea and i got tomorrows newspaper in my hand...........lolComment -
Casinos don't need to make money off of their sports book!
It amazes me every time i see somebody state that is how Vegas or other jusrisdictions keep building bigger & better casinos!Slot machines & baccarat keep casinos profitable.Many Vegas books only operate as a courtesy to patrons so other casinos that have sports books don't steal them away.Cantor Fitzgerald(whiz kid custom computer programs have made billions in the financial markets) is revolutionizing the Vegas sports books with their sophisticated algorithms helping to minimize the risk associated with booking in-game wagers & the likeComment -
Hey Sunday would like the PM if you dont mind. Not betting the Pats game anyway but would love to see a little about how BW operates and what his thinking is on sports betting. Thanks.Last edited by Rented Mule; 01-16-11, 05:14 PM.Comment -
Billy Walters 60 Minutes interview tonight
Comment -
Pro gambler Bill Walters bets tens of millions of dollars on sports each year, calling his losses "feathers" and his wins "chicken." So far, there's been chicken at the end of every year he has made a living on gambling in Las Vegas, a winning streak that's made odds makers call him the "most dangerous sports bettor."
Lara Logan gets a rare interview with Walters, who lets her in on his technique, for a "60 Minutes" story to be broadcast this Sunday, Jan. 16, at 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. PT.
On the week Logan visited Walters in Las Vegas, he won close to a million dollars betting on pro football with the sports books run by the casinos. But he also bet on college basketball, not faring as well.
"Yesterday was a feathers day as we refer to in our household. It was feathers yesterday. There was no chicken," he tells Logan. "I had a pretty bad day...I lost $257,200. I could lose again today...I've had losing weeks...losing months...[but] never a losing year."
That success, plus big bets - he once bet $3.5 million on a Super Bowl and won - has brought with it a respect and fear in Las Vegas. "He's a shark and a whale. He's a great white," says one of the city's most respected odds makers, Kenny White. "It means he's the most dangerous sports bettor in the history of Nevada...That's the damage he can do to a sports book," says White.
The gambling life, which he began in earnest when he arrived in Las Vegas broke and in debt in 1980, has made him extremely rich. He owns seven homes and a $20 million private jet. He has a group of anonymous partners who place his wagers for him and consultants who advise him how to bet. He calls one of them a "savant," for his uncanny recall of sports statistics. Walters' influence is so powerful that he can change the point spread on certain games so he can bet on the team he really wants with the point spread he thinks will make him a winner.
It all began in the hills of Kentucky where he grew up poor and made his first bet, a penny, on a pool game he played at the age of six. He doesn't only bet on sporting events, he'll bet on the golf course, too. He tells Logan he has won $400,000 on one hole alone and once took home "around a million dollars" from a golf match.
Asked if there is anything he wouldn't bet on, Walters replies, "Not really."Comment -
best 60 minutes everComment -
put him on the payroll and get him to post picks hereComment -
i am thinking it's going to be a very brief thing for 5 min or less because i just looked at the guide info on my tv and it says interview with ex secret service guy and it talks about a murder that took place. nothing is mentioned about billy walters.. too bad cause i was really looking forward to this. no nfl game from 8 pm till 9pm. no nba game, nothing else really to watch.. damn.. i hope i'm wrong.Comment -
believe it or not,i swear i have watched this show for a total of maybe 21 min in my whole entire life combined.. maybe 3 min here, 2 min there, so i don't know the show that well at all. it was never my cup of tea.Comment -
never really watched it either but looking forward to seeing it. usually i only see it when golf or football runs long and my dvr picks up part of the show...Comment -
FWIW Mr. Walters grabbed the Jets +10 and +9.5 between games.Comment -
