Pro Sports Bettor Billy Walters to appear on 60 Minutes Sunday 1/16

**KennyM10** · 01-17-11, 09:55 AM

He seemed like a selfish man, I did not find the story interesting at all.

**Wrecktangle** · 01-17-11, 10:19 AM

Wasn't shown in SD. The affiliate put "Underwear Boss" in it's place.

Of course this guy wouldnt talk about offshore, its illegal by law to bet offshore. IRS would be all over his offshore money if he mention about it, remember he was sued for over money laundering. Well, it goes to tell you that some of his millions are in foreign land=offshore sportsbooks.

**Sdotbold** · 01-17-11, 12:02 PM

didnt tell me anything i didnt already know

**painter10** · 01-17-11, 12:43 PM

**grekos** · 01-17-11, 12:49 PM

He lost his 2 big bets mentioned gb and clev for the day.

wrong

**grekos** · 01-17-11, 01:03 PM

He lost kansas st by a hook the day before.

**hockey216** · 01-17-11, 01:22 PM

wow

**sneak-a-peak** · 01-17-11, 01:57 PM

Hope you all learned something from last nights 60 minutes

The best of the best DO NOT flat bet!

So why should you?

It seems to me that most of you prefer to flat bet but I have for a long time now thought that it is not the best way to MAXIMIZE profit and to me that theory was confirmed last night with Walters. He had 220 here 40 there 300 elsewhere. That is the way to go and of course it all depends on the perceived edge- obviously.

Flat betting probably works for some so Im not saying it does not have its place but It is certainly not the BEST staking method.

**CanuckG** · 01-17-11, 01:58 PM

90% of the people here probably don't even know what flat bet means

**B1GER1C828** · 01-17-11, 01:59 PM

yup. Im forming my team of analysts as we speak so i can figure out my line and then bet accordingly.

**maersksealand** · 01-17-11, 01:59 PM

I feel sorry for anyone watching 60 Minutes

**QuantumLeap** · 01-17-11, 02:00 PM

Now that I know not to flat bet I can start losing more money on some bets than others.

Yes! The winners need more guys like you around with that kind of enthusiasm!

I found the piece pretty interesting. Obviously taking it with a grain of salt, but it was cool to hear him talk to his runners and move some lines.

Some puff, interesting to see how he runs things (at least what he would show).

**KaneTrain** · 01-17-11, 03:13 PM

Take it,

I think you're dead on with some of your questions. Maybe he said he'd only do the interview if there was a nice looking younger lady asking the questions. She sounded like a college intern during the interview. "Now how much money did you just gamble?"

**TPowell** · 01-17-11, 03:21 PM

your perceived edge is almost always slightly inaccurate though. I'm a flat bettor and thats why.

**blackbart** · 01-17-11, 04:44 PM

all you need to do is watch the board to see which side he is on. of course by then its too late.

**blackbart** · 01-17-11, 05:09 PM

i am fairly certain there are a few posters that battle him every day.

from what he has said in the past , he bets football and cbb only.
alan boston, was one of his college football guys for many years, he is close to a savant, like the guy walters mentioned. and walters does no handicapping. two years ago walters claimed to loose heavily for the cbb season, according to a quote from boston.

contrary to what was said in that interview, walters is not the largest bettor in the world. its debatable whether he is the largest in the major us sports. there are articles posted here and elsewhere that detail very large punters who dwarf the volume that walters himself claims. its seems convenient or trendy to attribute every line move in every sport to bw. i know of several groups that bet similar amounts.

**TPowell** · 01-17-11, 05:54 PM

Boston is the savant for CBB I would imagine. I know Boston gave up CFB for a while

Thanks.

Unreal that this has commercials, what is the point? Why would I watch a commercial on my computer? Obviously I muted it and am waiting for it to end. Stupid marketers.

**$4nothing** · 01-17-11, 06:04 PM

Commericals a part of life. Til we DVR computers, like TV.

**gafl** · 01-17-11, 06:41 PM

As soon as the interviewer opened her mouth, it was going to be a puff piece. Best part was seeing his betting setup.

**TPowell** · 01-17-11, 06:45 PM

I agree, that setup was legendary!!

**underthe total** · 01-18-11, 01:28 AM

he uses donbest, what else was it that we learned?. nothing really. that was kinda like an advertisement. hey i am billy i gamble alot. gambling is not bad. i win gambling and lose in the stock market. haha. i need to redo my teeth the crowns i got are getting old.

They definitely gloried it there is no doubt about that... but WHY..???

This guy is old news and they finally got wind of him.???

This just HAPPEND to air after an NFL playoff game and I don't think it's a coincidence either...

What amazes me is when you people look to bet ONLY then are you sceptical of what comes out of the media in order to fade them but when money is not involved the idea of fading media is outragious!

There is a reason why they aired this in the manner that they did and I wish I knew what it was but to guess I would say to condition the public for the coming regulated online gambling world...

I like it how it is...

**MC PICKS** · 01-18-11, 11:56 AM

Show was aweome.
