This particular listing is in a very convenient location, 5 minutes from the casinos. It gets good ventilation and is highly portable, one for all those movers and shakers!

Get back to me.

How much would this place set me back??

Exactly. There was only one brain in the computer group and it wasn't Billy. Does anyone know where Michael Kent is today? No, he made made no such claim on 60 minutes. It was only mentioned in passing that he got involved with the group and got rich from that involvement. His value to the group was in getting the money down - not deciding what to play.

does anyone have video of this 60 minutes episode?

**Darrellp32** · 01-17-11, 12:02 AM

2 mill on a Sunday NFL card? Holy shit.

**saints7011** · 01-17-11, 12:04 AM

only thing I took from the interview was that he is a liar...

Liar or not thats where we all want to be. Cashing in big. The American dream.

**pstaff1989** · 01-17-11, 12:10 AM

I don't care if he eats omelets for breakfast and says he is allergic to eggs in an interview

the guy can handicap and he makes more money each year than most of us combined, it was pretty interesting to see that someone can make bank by betting drastically varying amounts.

If I bet $100, $50 and $25 on 3 games, I usually win the 25 and 50 and lose the 100

I heard him saying 30k here, 150k there, 90k over here. very interesting to see that he is that successful at judging how "soft" a line is

**Roy Halladay** · 01-17-11, 12:17 AM

cool shit

**Roy Halladay** · 01-17-11, 12:38 AM

I heard this dude uses an online handle known as Randizlle

**compaqDikk** · 01-17-11, 12:41 AM

did they mention reno, fendy, G.u.s.h. and the butane network

**iversatile45** · 01-17-11, 12:48 AM

let make some money

**cubswin** · 01-17-11, 12:54 AM

This guy sound like one of the midgets from the The Wiz of OZ and should sue whoever sold him that hair piece

**hhsilver** · 01-17-11, 12:55 AM

Seer,

Thanks for that link. That SI piece was very wrong in claiming that doctor was the computer guru. Later articles are more accurate about who it was and what the doctor's role in the group was.

Damn, imagine that job.

**Actionbrett** · 01-17-11, 01:11 AM

After I heard there isn't a single then he wouldn't bet on I jumped on a plane and went to las Vegas.

After a great night at tryst I
stumbled back to my room and looked billy up in the rooms phonebook and got his address. I headed over to the nearest liquor store on koval and bought some duct tape.

Once I got to his two bedroom one bath ranch on slab I took my clothes off and covered my face in duct tape. I told him I would bet him 20k my pecker is bigger then his, I won.

**Bookmaster** · 01-17-11, 01:13 AM

He's really a great dispatcher whose main value is in his experience of knowing the TIMING of placing bets as opposed to the content of the actual bets. He's no dummy, though.

**blingish** · 01-17-11, 01:32 AM

I thought it was a good interview. Didn't reveal shit that any of us didn't already know. I did really like the part where the girl called it "Nevader" though!

**Power Play** · 01-17-11, 01:44 AM

Who's Billy Walters? The only Vegas Legend I know is John Harrison!

**PRC** · 01-17-11, 01:48 AM

Pretty damn good episode

**Chuck Sims** · 01-17-11, 03:20 AM

I remember SHRINK saying he was tailing Walters with the Colts in super bowl 44. SHRINK lost big and it was the beginning of the end for the degenerate gambler.

If SHRINK only knew Walters had the other side for $3,500,000.

**beermankirk** · 01-17-11, 04:15 AM

Was an interesting piece.

**woodyman** · 01-17-11, 04:17 AM

Enjoyable watch. We can all dream

**TPowell** · 01-17-11, 04:34 AM

wow Munfordville is only a few hours from here.

He only mentioned his real bad losses. I thought they mentioned briefly that he was willing to talk about sports gambling in hopes of making people see that it is "less evil" than the stock market. I thought he was going to say how sports betting is more "fair" (except in the NBA ;-)), but 60 minutes didn't cover any of that...instead it just sounded like he was 'hustled by suits and ties."

**Sfritts8** · 01-17-11, 08:17 AM

Read Michael Konik's book, far better than the stupid lady's bad journalism.

**TakeIt** · 01-17-11, 08:26 AM

This 60 Minutes piece was absolutely horrible. I didn't learn one thing from it I didn't already know. It was just a puff, filler piece going into the football playoffs.

First of all they picked the worst person imaginable to do the interview. It was obvious she didn't know a damn thing about gambling or sports betting.

Did you catch those 1980s stock footage shots of what is probably the Hilton in Las Vegas? What's the matter, you can't even show what a modern day sports book looks like?

Here are some of the questions that I would have asked.

1. Are you the main character in the book, "The Smart Money?"

2. You say you won 3.5 million on the Superbowl. Who takes that much action, and how many venues did you have to use to get down 3.5 million?

3. Do you bet any other sports besides football? Football has the largest limits. Other than playoff games, is it worth your time to bet basketball or baseball?

4. How did you become involved with the Computer Group? What was your role? Who was the brains behind that operation? Where is he today?

5. Do you bet online--with offshore books?

6. Can you tell us how you won so much money playing roulette? What is the story behind that?

7. How far does the line have to be off before you make a big bet? Is 1/2 point enough to get your attention?

8. How big a roll do computers play in your operation. Could you still do well without them?

9. Do you think professional sports are rigged in any way for betting purposes?

10. Do you have an ownership stake in any casinos? If not, why not?

Just to name a few...

**blowseq** · 01-17-11, 08:45 AM

" - Does he have the power to move your lines?"
" - Ofcourse he does... He is Billy Walters!!!"

**cadillac pete** · 01-17-11, 09:35 AM

I remember the specualtion last Super Bowl was he had Phill Ivey place a $2mill ML bet on Indy at Bellagio, only to find this yr he made the biggest bet he's ever made on the Saints for $3.5mil...

5.) In Nevada it is against state law to bet offshore. I am not sure I would answer that truthfully if I were him anyways.

6.) I think that story has been published before. Something about table alignment or wheel malfunction.
