    Just Read Smart Money
    Actually I listened to the audiobook but anyways thought it was good book overall. Not going to help you make millions but interesting to see into the life of Vegas and Big Time sports betting. Thought it was pretty crazy what happened to him on the Off-Shore level.

    Is it pretty much assumed that Rick "Big Daddy" Matthews is Billy Walters?

      Smart Money was a good read.

      I believe the brains of the outfit was Billy walters.

              I thought it was fuking repetitive and not at all informative.

              Dudes in a hotel room, gets a call to place a bet, runs down and places the bet, gets another call, runs down and places the bet...repeat this a hundred times..The end.

              Would have made a pretty good magazine article.

                I agree, there were way too many long sections where nothing different happened. It was interesting for a little while, but quickly dipped into dullness.

                          I plowed through it...but also thought there was a lot of padding. Plus the guy was completely sucked in by the glitz of Vegas--seemed almost reverent about it.
