Nothing too in depth but worth the 13 minutes if you ignore the 1 minute Viagra ad I got at the start.

When he started talking about how much he played for on the golf course it reminded me of Doyle's book that I recently re-finished, The Godfather of Poker. In it he tells many stories and how they would golf for hundreds of thousands if not have millions on the line at times. One interesting thing Doyle noted I thought was that while he or the other 'golfers' he respected highly (there were only 3 I believe) were nowhere near the best golfers in the world, if they played with the pros with a fair handicap, which on occasion they did, they would crush them. The pros weren't used to playing for that kind of money and were more apt to choke than Doyle's hand selected crew.

The guy in this video, Billy Walters, doesn't come off as a hustler at all to me.

You'll find if you scout around enough online you'll find lines that go both ways where if you bet on both sites you're guaranteed to make money. I've seen this happen for MMA more than anything and there's always a betting cap so you can't really get rich but if you have enough money to spread over these various sites and are content with waiting for such a botch job, you have guaranteed +ev.
