In this explosive episode of Nothing’s Off the Table, Louis Ruggiero sits down with Mathew Bowyer — the infamous bookmaker tied to Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter and a man whose life spiraled into the extremes of compulsive gambling, high-stakes bookmaking, federal indictments, and staggering casino losses.
Bowyer reveals:
How he went from hustling as a teenager to running one of the biggest bookmaking operations in the country.
The insane Vegas nights where he won $3.2M in 48 minutes—only to lose $13M at Resorts World.
His connection to the Ohtani scandal, wire transfers, and how the feds finally came crashing through his doors.
The dark psychology of gambling: why losing often feels more addictive than winning.
Raw confessions about addiction, family destruction, and recovery—and what it really takes to break free.
This isn’t just about sports betting scandals. It’s about the rush, the ruin, and the razor’s edge between fortune and self-destruction. If you’ve ever wondered how gambling addiction can take down anyone—from everyday hustlers to celebrity insiders—this is the story you need to hear.
Watch until the end to hear Mathew’s unfiltered truth and Louis’s powerful reflections as two compulsive gamblers face the realities of recovery.
