Amazing that Brent will be 84 years old in May. Seems as sharp ever
not true, he was born in My 1946!!!
See here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Walters_(gambler)

Absolute legend. Big game Brent built up historic college games like no other. As for Billy Walters, this was a real treat. Very few interviews on him
@@juergenvollmer254 I said Brent was 84 not billy
“You are looking live ……”
These two guys are what sports and sports gambling is all about. Thanks VSiN.
What a phenomenal job VSiN. Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else doing this interview with BW. I’ll most definitely be buying his book. 👍🏼
Great job VSIN! Masterful interview by the great Brent Musberger. Can't wait to read the book!
6 houses multiple golf courses many car dealerships his own plane worth around billion dolllars. Billy had a a lot of adversity a daughter who committed suicide and a severely disabled son oh man heart goes out to you you showed us that we can make things happen. Sending the ❤️ .
That 99 yr lease with the city didn't hurt ..
He is building a new massive estate in LOUISVILLE..GONNA be great having him around town .BILL SEE YOU AT WYNN STEAKHOUSE.
There are two ways to beat sports: 1. Beat the closing line. 2. Bet into an incorrect line. Billy was the best at both.
There won’t be another Billy. Legend amongst men
Great interview with two all time legends.
Great thanks to Brent and his nephew for bringing us vsin.

Billy Walters is such a great guy! Wish I could play 18 with him and place some nfl bets.

Wow awesome this guy is considered the godfather of sports betting definitely getting his book must have !!!
He has nothing on the sports killer Steve Stevens lol.
Musburger is such an OG for being on VSIN.
Great story🙏
Awesome watch
Billy Walters is my sports betting idol, because my average is 66%....but betting parlays only, I remember this one Saturday I won 24 out of 25 games, Vancouver messed my entire parlay up, Toronto won
Excellent.
Bali Hai is a nice track. Outstanding man. Note to the young bucks. Only marry the best person you've ever known. Some gold in those words.
He’s a legend
I lived in LV for 20-years starting in mid 90’s. I was always fascinated with Billy Walters. Beat four trials in Las Vegas. All Witch hunts pushed by casino controlled politicians because he was beating casinos at their own game. Pioneered gambling industry and was first adopt using computers to handicap to games. Parlayed his wealth Into business and real estate empire. And he really did tons for Opportunity Village and Boys and Girls Club in Las Vegas. Donated tens of millions. Just an incredible human being. A great American story. But the Feds finally got him. They hated him. 60 minutes interview back in the day really pissed them off. 9th District of New York. Same crew that has been relentlessly attacking Trump family and associates for years. Might I add, he had the greatest defense attorney ever for his four LV trial victories, Oscar Goodman, the former LV mayor. This was a great interview. Musberger is a legend and he loves sports betting. Glad Walters is out of jail and doing well. The man is a genius.
EPIC
You sound like a maga trumper sir
RIP GARLAND WALTERS..hey luke,BILL .
Damn I’m pissed can’t buy this book until August at least that’s time enough for Football Season!!!!!!
Wonder if he knows Pete rose? Cincinnati is just over the bridge to Kentucky. Rose was part of that gambling g culture back there. I'll bet he's got some good Pete rose stories.
That was remarkable
The GOAT!
Does Billy still own Royal Links? He was a great host
Legend.
Billy Walters The White Shark of Sportbook 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Im just to young at 53 to have seen the big days of LOUISVILLE illegal gambling ..
“Clean up the criminal element” 😂😂😂
I will be the next Billy Walter's mark my words im.very good at picking winning teams
When will it be out in paperback ?
August
Should be an interesting read. However, Billy is known for only telling part of the story. Don’t expect a tell all. He holds his cards very close to the vest. He was very involved in the Wall Street “game” for a while and he never thought he would get caught.
At least he puts his face and name behind his book and interviews. Cowards like YOU hide behind a screen name and computer keyboard with unsubstantiated charges...
"Wall Street “game”?" You mean like EVERY US POTUS, Senator, Congressman, Governor and other political figures and major corporation CEOs and Presidents?
@@steveludwig4200 soooo accurate Steve !
@@steveludwig4200 If a Federal jury convicted him, can they still be called "unsubstantiated charges"? That would make them substantiated charges. Wise up.
@@YaketyYak-sp4wc
What do you mean. I make my living betting on UK greyhounds. If I showed you how I did it. You wouldn't be interested. Because it requires the one thing that defeats nearly every gambler. PATIENCE. If you can't wait you can't win. Its that simple...
What a story.
They should have billy do a raiders game with Brent.
Great interview. Pathetic that people like Billy and Martha Stewart get prison for "insider trading" but the pelosi's just get more power smh.
What about inciting an insurrection?
@@Jeremy_the_bot LMAO.the worst thing about Jan 6 was that there wasn't an insurrection. You call that an insurrection??? Good job showing the internet what a pathetic sheep you are.
Phil Michelson was in it with him and sold Billy out to avoid prosecution.
So he gets your sympathy, cause he got caught? Trumpers don't get caught. Lol
Such a violent INSURRECTION yet no democratic politicians were ☠ nothing was burned down, and the only people shot were the protesters.
......you really think that was an insurrectuon?
Anyways your dumb and im done talking about this so turn of the news and stop filling your head with 🐎 💩
Why doesnt he talk about online sports betting like fandeul and draftkings things like that and sports betting is easier niw cuz you got internet research and go thru an app then a casino its just a matter of if what you bet on wins or loses but the stats check is always there to look at i always say stay disciplined and bet responsible only bet what you can afford to lose you gonna take lots of losses to learn from before you start getting good wins the money will come just gotta keep learning
Sports Betting is the greatest. People want to talk more about betting than bitcoins.
I like the part how the Feds put an ankle monitor on Billy while under house arrest! Too much!! Yeah, like he's gunna go on the run! Suuuure he would!! Real geniuses!
the goat
Today in NHL I won 13 out of 15 games, Pittsburgh & Anaheim ducks messed up my entire parlay, now I should be mad but I'm not, because I was only 2 games & 1 goal away from winning the entire parlay& break a record, goodnight!
Just to think if you bet them all straight at $100 a game you’d be over $1000. Parlays are for suckers.
@@alwillk but I can't afford to bet that much on a single game, that's why I bet this way
@@alwillk oh! & Suckers can't win that many games on a parlay like me, man I'm king!!
@Yakety Yak jealousy is bad nowadays, you probably can't average 6 NHL wins in 1 week, sucker🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bali Hai doesn't offer locals any decent rates unless it's 125 degrees that day. Billy should set aside times for locals since most of his money was earned there. Played his Desert Pines course yesterday. The man has lots of class when building courses. He should contact me about solving the homeless problem in Vegas.
He is the primary investor in Shade Tree.
One million in 1982 is worth a little over 3 million today.
We are The Animals! Operation Flagrant Foul! Netflix
Harness racing is a much better bet than is betting sports because the odds are made by the players.
I like.Billy
.Fascinating guy but im not going to pen for anyone.
I did not know about what happened to his daughter. So sad to hear this
They don't come any better than Brent
If your pizza was a betting proposition, you would be a $.10 player get out of the line at the race track you’re holding it up this is the $50 window
I can say this with 100% certainty, I always knew there had to be similarities between this man & myself, there's too many to ignore. Many can hit 60% for a while, but the real secret to getting to the pinnacle is right in this interview, but unless you yourself do this you'll never figure it out.
Being a bookmaker yourself?
@@Jeremy_the_bot personality traits, not tolerating whiners & holding himself accountable to higher standards. He doesn’t need to impress anyone but himself!
Quit lying
@@BLohse Tell you what, Show up to Circa Casino for the National Championship & if the Houston Cougar’s win I’ll be the Boston Celtic’s Championship away from $2.43 MILLION in 5 separate future’s parlay’s. Then will see who’s lying…LOLOLOL. I’ve been doing this for 18 years. Best of luck to you 🤞🏻
@@theBIGBLUTO the Celtics will win it this year.
post his book, and get some affiliate money
Post it where ?
⚜️🌴🌹🎁🎄🔔🦌
Billy just middle bets every time.
Nope
No he doesn’t
Who wanted Billy in prison? 🤔
Phony
I dont know what you expect this book to teach you 🤷♂️
It's definitely not going to teach you how to win thats for sure.
Hearing a smart sports bettors perspective can improve your own perspective. Knowledge is sometimes nice. It doesn't have to be a how to win manual Dumbo.
@@Jeremy_the_bot his perspective was great 20 years ago and even better 30 years ago but today that perspective is irrelevant 💯
@@jeremyscorpio4170 that's a really stupid perspective.
@@Jeremy_the_botwell if he can teach me something I can use then i will apologize 👌
But since I study sports betting, look for edges, & create/test my strategies 8-10 hours a day, seven days a week?
My skill level and your skill level aren't on the same page soooo mabye you will learn something from his book 🤷♂️
For someone like me its USELESS because over the last 15,000+ hours i already know what works and what dosent so I just focus on that.
@@jeremyscorpio4170 someone who takes sports betting thar seriously shouldn't turn their nose up at someone with a lifetime of Informartion on the subject.
Phil treated Billy like crap and should be ashamed of himself.
His story really isn't interesting. He lost so much money. You get lost on when he hit his fortune. It only gets interesting when he starts betting large. Other than that, his story is boring, and the common betting man story.
No it’s not , did you ever own 7 golf courses at once ?
Billy Walters is a liar. Doing a paper route and cutting grass at 9 years old. Yeah sure buddy.
Billy Walters is the Goat
I did that why won't he ?
How you know what he did when he 9 years old
@@jimjohns1778 You think he made that up ? It's not that unusual for 9 year olds.
That’s your take away?
At 43.30...I think Billy calls him Brett....lol.
Thanks for pointing that out that's very important hahaha !!!
i gotta get my hands on this book. billy isn't a fraud like the schmucks selling their picks.
Billy says that he didn't want to get past posted at a little over the 20 minute mark. Musberger a minute later says taking a bet, Billy corrects him and says making a bet. But if he was only "making" bets then he could not be worried about past-posting. However, maybe he meant that he could never be sure how much money he was getting down on a game, and therefore his definition of past-posting against him would be a runner telling him a different number due to seeing how the early action unfolded. I'm still convinced that at a minimum, he booked well into his Vegas years, and booked Michelson. The guy is a bookie, plain and simple, as well as a guy who can get the best number when making his own bets. He also created "moves" in order to get the number he wanted. No way he is telling the whole story. Phil Michelson, a known sports bettor, doesn't just owe Billy Walters millions without Bill being a bookie.
Yeah I think you explain it well Plus you have to think about it from his perspective I assume if he likes the other side of a game then booking it gives him a huge judge 5% ROI just by charging the juice
There's a possibility also that he wanted to get down money for him and the bets lost so that's why he owes Billy the money.
Walters was dealing with many partners and they bet on credit with bookies for him, not everything was post up and cash in Vegas. He was sending out orders all day and night on busy Weekends to partners all over the states and probably the UK and Carib etc so it would be easy for a bookie for example to take a bet from a partner on Ohio St when they were already losing 7-0 and the game started 4 minutes ago. Remember pay per head shops, score apps and the internet in general didn’t exist in the early 1980s and all his partners were frantically trying to get down and everything was done by landline phones, crappy beepers and scores. All the accounting was charted by hand etc so it would be easy to get past posted by error or a shot taking bookmaker.
Phil was probably getting down money for Walters who was well known for using celebrities as beards in Vegas. He used Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher back in the day. Or maybe they were making cross bets which big sports bettors do often if they like opposite sides on the same game, it eliminates using a bookmaker and it’s a Vigorish free bet. There’s a few different scenarios where Phil could owe Walters money without him being a bookmaker.
I will only say that isn't so, respectfully Tom.
