World?s biggest sports bettor featured on 60 Minutes

As one of the world?s biggest sports bettors, Las Vegan Bill Walters has won $400,000 on a single hole of golf and $3.5 million on a Super Bowl. An oddsmaker?s nightmare, he has been known to get in-game injury reports from insiders and bet accordingly before the second half kickoff. He has parlayed his legendary preparation into seven homes, a $20 million private jet and ownership in three golf courses. Walters, 64, is being featured on ?60 Minutes? on Sunday in a segment with CBS News correspondent Lara Logan. He?s on a roll: Later this year he?s coming out with his first book. It?s titled ?Gambler.? A ?60 Minutes? camera crew followed him around Las Vegas last month, shooting footage at his exotic Bali Hai golf course and at his office. I?m told Walters was betting $5,000 a hole with Gene McCarlie. With side action, Walters was up $17,000 after three holes. The day before the golf shoot, he told Logan, ?I had a pretty bad day. … I lost $257,200. I could lose again today. … I?ve had losing weeks … losing months … (but) never a losing year.? He told Logan he bets tens of millions a year on sports.

Speaking of gambling, try this free betting website that allows you to win real money, without risking any of your own.

It's called cent sports. They give you a dime and you can win back as much as you win. Again it's totally free. They generate their money through ad revenue. If yous sign up please use this link.

I think it'd be cool to see who on BP can generate the most money. Maybe big winner donates to the website??

The most I ever won was $68. But then I went on a drunken weekend of $10 and $5 dollar bets and gave it all away. Thankfully, it wasn't my money.

In September, CentSports became FreeSportsBet.com. New users can now start out with $1. I started the NCAA Tournament with $0.95 and was up to 2.40 by the end of day one. I'm down to $1.81 now (stupid $0.52 moneyline parlay on all the 1's and 2's), but it was fun tracking bets that, someday in the distant future, could turn into real money, but without any risk.

Like cent sports, the site is ad based.

If anyone wants to sign up, then use this link: http://www.freesportsbet.com/Momus.html to give me some friend referral "bonus cash". Or, if billmac still goes there, ask him for a new link.

FYI. If you use my link, they do give me "bonus cash" everytime you play. Bonus cash only pays out on the winnings, and not what was risked, and it's not (to my knowledge) eligible for withdrawal.

If anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them. If anyone is trying to get rich from this site, I would suggest not signing up. Use a "real" bookie, and win/lose all your money the good old fashioned way...by risking your own money. :biggrin:
