KingRevolver Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I believe Inkwell mentioned Bill Benter last night. I Googled him and found this great article on him. Unreal. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-05-03/the-gambler-who-cracked-the-horse-racing-code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inkwell77 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Also i think Don Johnson has made a lot from gambling on Horse Racing, but he worked in the industry for like 20 years until he hired a bunch of math guys and realized he could make more money betting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted February 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Guy has a lot in common with The Meatman... When Benter got to Las Vegas, he worked at a 7-Eleven for $3 an hour and took his wages to budget casinos. The Western—with its dollar cocktails and shabby patrons getting drunk at 10 a.m.—and the faded El Cortez were his turf. He didn’t mind the scruff. It thrilled him to see scientific principles play out in real life, and he liked the hedonistic city’s eccentric characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 And he needed a lot of money to do this!! Fuckin' guy was making $80K a year playing Blackjack back in the 80s. Casinos didn't fuck around back then... if they caught you, they'd take you in the back and beat your ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
