    I love this guy!
    His story and mine are very similar with the one (big) exception of the level of success.
    Starting off poor in the south with parents who had trouble regulating their substance intake, starting off in the car business, having substantial highs, lows and legal problems.
    My sister once said that I’d lived a life of breath taking highs and excruciating lows - She does exaggerate a bit but that’s not entirely inaccurate either…

    Billy has property in the hills of Kentucky it has caretakers that live on the property, he has pounds of gold and precious metals hidden
    there. The guy just loves to bet on anything, that is why you see so many betting sites now days with their apps, the bookies are counting
    on 90% of the population who bet with their hearts and ego betting which takes place between mostly young men. You can make a lot of
    money betting on sports, many of these sharps have and will never reveal themselves. Look, just drive down the highway, you see those
    people driving like idiots, well, if they gamble, it's the same behavior. Don't ever gamble with heart, like raising kids, if you got more than
    2, there should not be a favorite child. Balance out your life, trust your intuition, the books are not always right.

    They do not like successful people when it comes to gambling. I bet a lot of that was corrupt officials though getting their arms bent by the mob or getting a bung or two. Lots of jealous people out there.

    • @ryanc9888
      @ryanc9888 Před 2 lety +3

      Caan Berry Pro Trader Not true, they limit and restrict players all the time. Billy Walters uses other people (beards) to bet for him, his monster bets like 3.5 million are on the Super Bowl, that’s the one game you can essentially bet unlimited amounts. You will never see Walters actually make a sports bet, he has a network and pays people( runners) $1,500 per week to hang out in Vegas Sports books, wait for his orders and bet for him. He also bets offshore (not in his own name of course) and the huge betting markets in Asia and dark pools that take big amounts. But yeah, it’s a highly sophisticated network. He doesn’t really make his own picks either, he has a team of mathematicians, data scientists, weather experts, sports savants that can name every player on every team, he has a team of handicappers dedicated to a certain conference in a specific league etc. anyways, all the info comes in and Walters basically sorts through the information and makes his decisions. He also screws with the market a lot intentionally betting a side he doesn’t like to move the number and then comes back the other way with 3x the money at the better price
