What I want to know is WHEN is the movie coming out? Billy Bob Thornton has to be anxiously awaiting the phone call to play this man and tell the story of his life!
There were definitely pro sports bettors when Billy first met the computer group. Thanks to the lack of technology there were great spots for middles and lopsided value lines. My uncle knew books throughout the country (he was a book too). He would find unbelievable middle spots having access to the amount of books he knew. He also had a partner from Bham that was amazing at baskets. He couldn’t get down but my uncle could. This lead to my uncle, dad and other relatives making a shit ton during basketball. From what I remember in the book gambling wizards…..Billy and chip worked with computer group and Billy walked away before they figured it all out. Pretty sure a couple years later Chip was the top baseball bettor in the world.
Love this podcast so much.
Appreciate it!

Must have been interesting betting in those days...
This was great. I love the degen stories. Maybe you can do one where you tell about some legendary poker degen? Maybe Chino?
