#41What was the purpose of that interview? I can't think of anything meaningful except bragging right. Who are pissed off? Books, and the Feds. So there you go.Comment -

#44Because it's illegal, and always has been.
Trust me, it's not just the IRS....it's also the FBI.
It's never a good idea to go on tv in front of millions of people showing off your homes, planes, etc.....and then basically brag how you have beaten 4 federal indictments. I promise you the US attorney doesn't take kindly to this.
This is a big deal. I've already seen some fallout from just the very beginning.Comment -

#45Don't know why the books would be pissed at this interview.
This was amazing publicity for the sports book industry.
He was a moron for stating his background with the feds. Why the hell he is not betting $3,000 bets with many many many runners I will never know.Comment -

#48His runners at most properties are well known by the books and they play by the rules. He has a bunch of them at Hilton who are instructed to not cause any problems.Comment -

#51Actually..the only reason he is involved in this story is because of his name.. Someone got caught lying to the feds about where HE got the money to gamble over 10k bets. Has nothing to do with Billy except for the fact his name is big... They want to try to connect the dots but no money trace...This is what the feds are pissed about..Its the IRS really.. Only because the runner cannot show proof of how he has 5 cars, a semi-mansion,.and enough money in his bank accounts to wipe his Arse with 100's....
If someone continues to deposit large sums of money in and out of a bank account with no trace or records of where the money came from it raises flags..
Then again,.because they "THINK" he is one of Billy's guy'..Then they think well..previous problems should be checked up on again...
Just a plea for more money... "someone didn't want to pay certain people off.."Comment -

#62Did he say what his motivation was for going on national television? Seems like he either wanted to stir something up or he wanted people to know how great he is at picking games.Comment -

#65Aaron Rodgers got hurt that game. I lost too. If you pause it, you could see the offshore books he uses. I remember thegreek being in there.Comment -

#66Overloading action on a side or total when the book is moving line from the action they've taken or are trying to move to match offshore outs. Trying to raise house limits on low volume bets like 1st 5 total in bases for example. There are so few legit books in Vegas that betting groups know not to play by the rules.
This failure to disclose accurate info to the casino for Title 31 will likely end up with guy being 86ed from that casino and possibly others. He'll pay the taxes and fines himself or the llc will cover it and be given a warning.
The casinos really don't get too scared from his action. If he is ahead the house gets it back from parlay and teaser cards from the average guy. From what I understand he is up in cfb this season at a few casinos but nothing too insane.Comment -

#67100% You don't mess with the FEDS... YOU WILL LOSE. This jerks ego is so big that he couldn't help himself. The $$$ wasn't enough, he had to go on national TV and brag about being a big shot. He needed everyone to know. Well, have fun paying legal fees and potentially going to prison. Not to mention the FEDS are watching his every move. What a jackass!!! This all could of been easily avoided. Hang in the shadows dumdumComment -
