Chad Millman is ESPN's gambling insider. He wrote The Odds, which details the life of professional gamblers, and Vegas life.

This podcast detailing Chad Millmans thoughts, and info he has garnered through his contacts with pro gamblers/ wise guys about the tourny. Two wise guys he references commonly are Steve Fezzik, two-time Hilton Supercontest winner, and Teddy Covers. The perspective this conversation takes on the tourny is one that SBR posters can appreciate.


Highlights:

Millman tells Bill Simmons about teams that Wise guys like to Bet on, and bet against. Coaches wise guys like, and dislike.

Says what NFL coach wise guys love to bet against in the playoffs.

Relays a complaint that Teddy Covers has pertaining to certain matchups in the tourny.

Also Bill Simmons agrees with my feelings about Rick Barnes incompetence.

At the end of the convo Millman gives three ATS LOCKS, two dogs, and a fav.

Enjoy fellas. I dont know how many of you are fans of Bill Simmons, but I'm sure you will like him after listening to the podcast.

Alan you mean?

And no he doesnt. Alan dropped out of the game years ago, b/c he didnt need the money, but since the economy erased the value of his house he got back in the game this year.

I dont know how he is doing, but when you are as sharp as he his not much will change.

[mcbaseball10]

[Chi_archie]

good stuff

I read his book, it was ok. seemed to me at the time of writing the book, he was kinda not very interested in gambling on a personal level for himself....

[Rbyrne]

its funny how one of these guys cant understand what a BET ON game is....two teams wise guys love to bet on...UTEP vs Butler.....teams they love to bet against like Wake Forest and Texas unfortunatly play each other...they are dispointed with alot of these match ups

Been listening to Bill Simmons since 2003. I read everything and listen to everything he puts out. He is truly the representative of the true sports fan. He is just like me. He likes sports, gambling, garbage reality tv, cigs, weed, alcohol, used to like wrestling, etc. He is the man.

[Gundog]

Cousin Sal is the Man. He represents the Idiot square bettor who just cant get enough.

Thats 75% of bettors. The difference in him is that he is not bitter, but has fun while losing.
