From time to time you read stories about those large bettors still accumulating millions of $$'s.
What books take their bets?

Yeah, I know they're Asian, but you don't have to physically be there to make a bet.
One can use SBOBET I guess, but it looks like big guys operate exclusively through Asian agents, another strange detail.

I agree they use exploits rather then being sharp, however it is not a main point here.
From an ESPN' article last year:
'No matter where he is -- LA or, say, Monaco, where he rents a flat -- his normal position during his game-day gambling shifts is supine on a couch, feet up on an ottoman, body nearly horizontal, a MacBook Pro resting between his lap and his knees, Ewing’s interface on the laptop’s screen, his dog (a Jack Russell named Coltrane) lying under his feet. He typically faces a wall against which rises a rack of Samsung flat-screens: a 65-inch central TV flanked on both sides by vertical ranks of three 40-inch screens, each showing a game. From here, he orchestrates his wagering: Ewing spits out a projected score and a number representing its level of confidence for each potential wager. Any projection above a certain threshold on that confidence scale Voulgaris will bet, though he sometimes overrides Ewing’s recommendations. He shows no emotion while watching the games on which he’s laid tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands, though he does very much sweat it on the inside, he says. In his words, “You’d have no chance of telling whether I was winning or losing.” '
lol..there is no such thing as a sharp, there are good math guys that cannot name one sports player and they are only guys that win, nobody knows any game period and impossible to predict player performance its why everyone loses but highly intelligent math guys that know nothing about sports.
