Billy Walters, aka the Scottish Dave of Vegas.
Seriously. This is well worth watching.

Really interesting guy.
That reporter sends me on tilt though - does a voiceover as though she's reading a story to three year olds.

She has a similar voice to one of the women in the xtranormal videos I thought.

Very enjoyable piece, left me feeling a tad jealous. I wanted to be a sports better years ago, I was held back by only missing the roll, the knowledge and the guts, other than that I was good to go.

Loved that Keith, thanks.
What an awesome set up he has at home.
He must have a considerable amount of trust & rapport in his "partners", the guys who do some of his betting for him. One word out of line from them would be a big problem.
If you were tasked with plcing a $100,000 bet, the temptation to take a bit for yourself would be huge, no?

I know how the operation works for a couple of big players in the UK.
They have to trust the putteroners totally and they are normally very well rewarded.
However if a put on guy betrays the organisation once.. by betting the selection themselves or telling other peeps about the selection they lose their job immediately.

Yup, my point exactly.
He seems to have "got by" though. How exciting his life must be on Sundays!
Don't think I'll bother introducing him to Sky Bet, eh?
I put your name forward, you know, & they treat their Priority Clients very well indeed, "Big Match" tickets, Race Days, da de da, & they have Corporate Boxes at every Premiership Club. "Corporate Hospitality" ftw.
They asked me a bunch of questions, I told them the truth. "I think we'll leave it" was the answer.......!
They genuinely believe that generally speaking, winning poker players are not ideal "Bet" Clients. I could name a few exceptions, though.

Skybet gave me a good run.
They haven't got a reputation for laying a bet, but I had an account for well over a year before it got restricted.
Alot better than Laddies, Coral or the joke that is Betfred.
Every time I see Fred Done's face in that stupid advert he does I want to smash my televsion in.
