Steven "Fats" Diano was in trouble. It was the 2012 NFL season. He'd recently partnered with a revered professional sports bettor, but instead of growing his bankroll, he was going to jail.

Legendary gambler Fats (@real_fats) joins Matt Landes to share unforgettable stories like this one, plus his top betting advice. Fats discusses his efforts to hold bettors and bookmakers accountable on Gambling Twitter, his definition of a Sports Gambling Hall of Famer as a member of the voting committee, and his perspective on maximizing the power of your network by connecting the dots between who you know and what they know.

He also reveals how he beat the odds to emerge from a police raid and subsequent arrest with a clean record -- and most of his bankroll intact.
