Betting story of the day

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

Haven't read it yet ... Will read it later...

Teams, in his forties, has won more than 30 cars from casinos across the United States. He is a canny advantage player who games casino promotions aimed at prolific gamblers and capitalizes on the miscalculations of sucker bets. A mathematical approach—based on cost versus opportunity of various propositions—has led him to win a house in Pahrump, Nevada, to take down raffle-card drawings as if by magic, to devise gambits for beating bookies even if he knows nothing about the sporting event. At first glance, Teams appears to be the luckiest guy in Nevada. In reality, he ranks among the hardest working.

Small Games, Big Money

That is so good. Guys like that are my idols. I wouldn't be so much into spying on hole cards, but taking full advantage of Bob Dancer's lessons and just paying really, really close attention by living in casinos sounds OK to me. Or I should say, it sounds OK to my 25-year-old self.
