    These major media outlets are sadly and woefully lost when it comes to sports betting, hence the reason ESPN actually gives legitimacy to Pregame. This CNBC series is another example. They don't understand the industry, but believe me, it's gonna blow up just like the poker craze REAL SOON.

    Why are the charlatans getting most of the exposure? The sports gambling industry hasn't had a true spokesperson since the late Jimmy the Greek.

    Thanks Pali but I'm still working. What motivates me is beating these Johnny-come-lately clone-ass bookmakers. Kinda like stealing from the robbers.

    Up until a few years ago I would NEVER bet a questionable/off line. Today? Anything goes. Mostly in-progress/live betting. The clones have little time or inclination to check their plaguerized #'s. They can cancel side/total/prop bet all they want.........PRE-GAME.

    An example of the thieves that call themselve bookmakers. I won't give exact specifics because I think these guys are reading and waiting to hijack RAS plays. Made a political prop bet that was declared a winner. A month and a half later they re-opened my History and regraded it a loser citing some lame-ass left wing rag. Low limit but they reinforced the ground rules for me.

    Here's the thing: CNBC is television. When you get a room of VPs together who have NO CLUE about sports betting, you cannot pitch them on a show whose lead (s) would be THE REAL WINNING SPORTS BETTORS because those guys look like nerds and unkempt because they've been wearing the same clothes and haven't left the house in four days.

    So what do they want? They want the IMAGE of what THEY think a winning sports bettor would look like ... i.e. a mix between stock broker/bookie, with nice clothes, jewelry, a big wad of cash, a drug addiction in his past, smooth talking, slick talking, high energy, with a sports car.

    It's a total bullshit image, but it's their image. This idiot Stevens fits that perfect. You think they'd put Edward or Harlabob out there? No gonna happen.
