Matt Bowyer: The Bookie Behind Baseball’s Biggest Betting Scandal


Listen Later

Matt Bowyer’s name has been splashed across headlines as the bookie at the center of the Shohei Ohtani scandal. But behind the headlines is a man facing the harshest reality of all: on October 10th, Matt will surrender to federal prison for 12 months and a day after being sentenced on August 29th.

In this exclusive, face-to-face conversation—recorded in Florida, just weeks before he turns himself in—we go far deeper than any interview he’s given before. This isn’t just about the bets, the headlines, or the scandal. This is about who Matt is, how he got here, and what comes next.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

    •    The childhood experiences and early thrills that first drew Matt to gambling

    •    How his illegal sports-betting operation ballooned into hundreds of millions in wagers

    •    The infamous Ohtani/Mizuhara connection—what really happened behind the scenes

    •    The downfall: federal raids, courtroom moments, and what sentencing day felt like

    •    How Matt is preparing mentally, emotionally, and practically for prison

    •    The responsibility he’s owning, and why he believes this year away could mark a new beginning

    •    His next chapter: the book, the lessons, and how he’s making a living now


This is not the recycled soundbites you’ve already heard. This is the human being behind the scandal—sitting down in a raw, unfiltered conversation about choices, consequences, fear, and starting over.
