I watched "Action".

One part focused on a guy who claims, "I hit 75% winners!" (We know a few guys who could put that record to shame!)

Well, he takes the show's crew into his home where he runs his tout service. He says he has one game that goes off in a little over an hour, so he needs to get the word out on social media. So, he puts up his spiel, and says, "Now, we just wait for the money to roll in." (He charges $499 for the play)

Sure enough, his computer screen starts to light up with notifications from whatever service he is using to collect the cash......... "There they are! 1...2...3.....4, That's $2000 in 30 seconds." They keep coming, "That's about $10,000 in the first minute."

Long story short, he shows the screen before the game starts, and he has $182,000 in his account from people buying that play. He states that he has other outlets, and they all added up to over $250,000.

Mike Hamrick: The fans booed. And my wife looked at me and said, "This is really gonna be a difficult job. We beat this team as bad as we did and the fans want us to beat 'em worse." And I said, "I don't know." And the guy beside me, who was with me at the game, said, "That's not why the fans are unhappy. They're unhappy that if this young man would have made that layup, UNLV would have covered the point spread." So right then, I said to myself, "This is something we gotta keep an eye on."

The 60 minutes segment was pretty good.





As for episode 1 of "Action", very well done, I look forward to the next three episodes.


As for "Vegas Dave", gotta hand it to that dude, he sure knows how to market himself. A lot of what he says is bullshit, for example, he is NOT banned from Nevada Sportsbooks. In fact if you follow MMA you know he is "buddy buddy" with Dana White (there is a reason he knows lots of MMA fighters personally) and he can bet whatever the fuck he wants at the Palms (there is a back story with The Palms and the UFC). But hey as mentioned good for him and his marketing prowess, he gets people to pay him millions, good for him. Oh and this documentary alone will get Vegas Dave even MORE subscribers, yep some more money for him.

Gotta love "Kelly in Vegas", how can you not love that chick. And nice to see Showtime follow a class act like Bill Krackomberger around and get his insights. Although I think Bill might need to change things up a bit when it comes to him carrying all that cash in his backpack. After these episodes air there are going to be bad people saying "we need to rob that guy". Bill is just asking for somebody to rob him:scared

I am hoping episode 2 of "Action" will have at least 20 minutes dedicated to Hanna Knightly, hammer, Thunder and The Sponge. :142smilie

Be great to get in depth with Thunder and his math skills, hammer and his 99 percent win percentage and The Sponge with his winning wagers after the game is complete.

Kelly Stewart looks like shit.

:facepalm:


Madjackers.......they are all millionaires and attractive women like Kelly are too ugly for them, nothing but the best for Madjackers:00hour




95 percent of Madjackers would never have a chance of getting a women at Kelly's level, but yep bash away and tell us how ugly she is:facepalm:





It always cracks me up when I read a post on here about a female being ugly, what do you think a female like Kelly would say if she saw Madjackers on tv:mj07:







And for the record I have seen Kelly in person, she is not ugly, fucking hell:facepalm:

She's not attractive. She's overly made up. She was attractive in her mid-twenties, and is desperately trying to hang on in her mid-thirties. She looks 45.

The second episode made everyone involved look like degenerates.

Yes, but it doesn't mean she's ugly. And she admits she's trying to hang on to her looks, she's honest about it which is refreshing.

The sad thing is the episode was full of super ugly people and you make a post about the female, there were a ton of ugly people all over that episode, none of em were Kelly:facepalm:



No wonder so many women have eating disorders, fucking hell:facepalm:

After 2 episodes.............I am impressed, good documentary, they did their homework and have many varying opinions on Sports Betting.

I'd like it if they did a Worldwide look at Sports Betting, but I see why they focus on the USA market. Maybe they'll do a second season and focus on the Worldwide market?

I look forward to Episode 3.
