    He talks about how sleazy wall Street is but he goes to prison for insider trading. Mickelson is lucky he is not in prison.

    one thing is for certain, he didn't make that huge fortune from just sports betting.

    He was a Vegas land speculator and worked w Wynn to buy up property for future development and golf courses in Clark County.

    Vegas boomed in 90s and again post 9/11, Walter's cleaned up!

    Between 1988 and 2008 didnt something like 1.5mm people move to the Vegas burbs? All those tracks of land- Walter's had a poker in the fire in some of them for sure....

    I think the betting was just a front to launder money

    Sure he did expose wide lines, now it is not possible

    He could not bet today, all lines the same everywhere

    Years ago NFL and college lines had 3 -10 point differences between books totals and sides
    Teaser and Parlay odds were printing money too

    Any idiot could win

    The new technology destroyed the PRO Gambler and turned them into small arbers and bonus scammers
