Only one that I know of: Barbara Nathan, of Brooklyn. Babs is also a system writer. She operated during the '90s, but I've not heard recently of her. She likely is still around - old touts never die . . . nor do they just fade away.
She'd maybe have better success if there were more female sports bettors. My guess is that they number less than 5% of regular sports bettors, and probably less than 3 % of football bettors. (My imagined picture of one is a lez bettor on WNBA hoops, who handicaps menstrual cycles)
Sports betting is a Male Thing. A kind of radical investment, it merges two historical and biological masculine urges: analysis and aggression.
The same things that for millions of years both our humun and hominid male ancestors did on the hunt, to put protein on the dinner table. ("Let's see, this wooley mammouth is running toward the mountain. If I charge him screaming and shouting from this angle maybe I can divert him to the cliff where he'd tumble down and break his legs so I can go up and spear his head.")

...shouldn't be calling this...
any names.
