This is why you never bet spreads on final games. At least if you gonna off yourself the team has to lose outright instead of the team you backed with your savings won the game but you lost it all.
Billy Walters, the biggest sports bettor on the planet, and the most successful, will be profiled this Sunday (7 pm ET) on 60 Minutes.

Right, unless you are betting for him it was almost impossible to get his plays. The exception being if you played the bet right after at your local or at a small book who is slower to keep up with the market.
Correct. The Shrink used to bet with one of the locals I knew(supposedly "Billy plays") and was about a breakeven bettor over the years. However, when BW was given a direct account with the same local, he smoked the guy in a few weeks and was given the boot.
