In the world of professional sports bettors, one name stands above all others. Billy Walters is perhaps the most influential man in sports that nobody has heard of. But to gamblers, he is a giant.
Revered like Tom Brady, feared like Michael Jordan, Billy Walters built an empire in the shadows, winning and losing and winning back fortunes several times over. Billy Walters didn't invent sports betting, but he propelled it into the modern age, combining a wild west attitude and a banker's brain to forge an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Even after a recent stint in prison, Billy (known as Mr. Walters to even the most hardened gamblers) is the most dominant force in a world fueled by ego, money and iconoclasts. And in that world, nobody badmouths Mr. Walters.
During a decades-long career in sports betting, Billy Walters kept an exceedingly low profile. But on a recent trip to Las Vegas, Action Network's Darren Rovell was granted an interview with the legend himself.
Billy Walters' highly-anticipated new book GAMBLER: SECRETS FROM A LIFE AT RISK comes out this week.
