Let me settle the debate…
If you are a sports bettor expecting a refund on an injured player, not only are you the scum of the earth, you are a worthless entitled jackass who needs to get slapped around and learn how to become a responsible adult.
Most sportsbooks refunded any bets associated with Rodgers, Vegas books, FanDuel and PointsBet stood strong.
The debate rages on…
Do gamblers deserve a mulligan when a key player gets hurt?
To all bettors out there: There are very few, if any, pro bettors making a living beating the NFL.
I’ve been doing this 20 years and breaking even for me would be considered a win.
Don’t kid yourself.
NFL Sunday belongs to the bookmakers not us.
Bet accordingly.
Two types of people in the world:
Those with kids and those without.
It amuses me how those without kids try and give philosophical advice.
Until you’ve changed a diaper, got woken up by a loud cry at 4am, or rushed your kid to the ER, you really don’t know shit about life.
Probably gonna sound counterintuitive and piss some people off but in my experience I’ve noticed that the more someone knows about sports and talks about sports, the more likely they are a losing sports bettor.
Hey
@stoolpresidente
I’ll donate $100,000 to the Barstool Fund
If…
You allow me to bet (with no delay) amounts in
@BSSportsbook
equal to your other VIP customers for 1 full year.
No bonuses
No bullshit odds-boost
Just let me bet and have fun 😊
#BeABookmakerNotADressmaker
To all online casino/sportsbooks:
Not going to mention any names but when the withdrawal process is more difficult than the deposit process, you should re-examine your policy.
If you haven’t figured it out by now, let me make it clear.
Everyone in the sports gambling business (myself included) is mentally fucked up.
Some more than others.
Driving my 14 year daughter to the skating rink to see some boy who asked her to be his Valentine.
This is pretty much her first boyfriend.
I ask her if she’s excited about her first Valentine. She tells me “You’re my first Valentine daddy.”
Felt like I hit a ten teamer. 🥰
To all you pretty faces out there in sports betting media, please educate yourself on the basic lingo.
+100 is not “Plus 100” it’s “Even Money”
5.5 is not “Five point five” it’s “Five and a half”
You at least give yourself a shot of someone believing your bullshit.
Thanks 🙏
Did Clinton bang an intern?
Is Obama a US citizen?
Is Trump covering stuff up?
No one cares about this bullshit.
This Republican vs. Democrat crap is such garbage.
Stop pointing fingers and wasting tax payer money and start working together to solve problems.
Do your job.
Reading all these bad beat refund requests and referee complaints and game is rigged accusations over and over again is nauseating.
Sports betting is a game of winners and losers.
If you win you get paid.
If you lose you pay.
There are no participation trophies.
More education won the poll.
I’m thinking about taping a video of my office and I placing a bet.
I will then explain all the details on the who what where when and why we are placing the bet.
The bet winning/losing is not the focus but rather the process.
Any interest?
During the next two weeks I’ll bet tens of millions of dollars on hundreds of basketball games.
The assumption that a pro sports bettor must bet the Super Bowl is absurd.
It’s ok to pass.
One football game is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
Imagine being talented enough to support yourself just by gambling for 45 years!
Imagine earning the respect of every bookmaker from Nevada down to the islands!
Imagine your life being so cool that Bruce Willis played you in a movie!
@dinkinc
didn’t imagine.
He lived it.
I have made a large bet. I really don't think there is anybody who can play with
#uconn
Like +360 is not great odds but at the same time great odds. Yes I am worried that everybody is picking them.
#DKPartner
So many strangers offered me prayers and well wishes. It meant a lot to me.
It meant so much that over the next few days I’d love to talk on the phone to every one of you guys and thank you.
I’d also gladly help with any sports betting ?s you may have.

Thanks 🙏
For the past 13 years, every Christmas Eve, I sleep right by the Christmas Tree snuggled with a camcorder ready to hit record when the first footsteps come bustling down the stairs.
It’s one of my biggest joys seeing my kids so happy on Christmas morning.
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
Eternal rest grant unto Dinky, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
We’ll reunite again one day my brother.
Just to put everyone’s mind at ease…
@spankodds
WILL BE FREE UNTIL AT LEAST THE SUPERBOWL!!!
I’m gonna give EVERYONE access to this special tool that has helped my staff and I make a profound impact on the industry for over two decades.
Happy to give back 🙏
Plea to all you political nutcases:
No matter who you’re pulling for, do twitter world a favor and avoid bitching for the next 4 years if you dislike like the result.
Pick up a hobby instead that brings positivity back into your life.
Next two weeks there will be
500+ ncaab games
100+ nba games
1 football game.
To put things into perspective from the view of our betting office, we expect to bet 170x more on basketball than the Super Bowl with the Super Bowl mostly being some prop bullshit.
Money won on…
It’s amazing how so many twitter heads publically celebrate wins with ✅and💰
Reality check…
No one gives a shit about your $20 win.
No one thinks your God’s gift to sports handicapping.
No one is fooled that you make a living betting vs. talking about betting.
Thanks.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
I’m keeping
@spankodds
free until the start of Football 2023.
Join the thousands who’ve switched over. Or keep us on as a secondary option. Either way it’s free.
Thanks for using
Let this be a wake up call to all you DK customers out there.
From the CEO himself:
You are only welcome at DraftKings if you wanna bet for “fun” and be a guaranteed loser.
If you actually work hard at becoming a winning sports bettor then you can pretty much go fu*k off.
DraftKings CEO Jason Robins told an investor summit Tuesday: “This is an entertainment activity. People who are doing this for profit are not the players we want.” What else did he say about the emerging New York market?
@BradAllenNFL
In every casino in 🇺🇸 , if you walk up to a BJ table you see a sign that states Min/Max bet. Same thing with Craps, Roulette etc.
If you walk up to almost any sportsbook, it’s a guessing game what the Max bets are.
Limit sheets, per sport and bet type, should be standard!
Kudos to
@beatingthebook
for telling his story.
He don’t kiss bookmakers’ ass like so many others in sports gambling media
He refuses to ever bring anyone from WillHill on his show cuz of how poorly they treat customers
He doesn’t just talk about betting he bets.
Respect 🙏
Look at this guy begging for a refund thinking the world owes him something.
Paul here not only lost his $500 Aaron Rodgers bet, he lost in life.
He is full of excuses and unwilling to take responsibility for his actions.
He must have received several participation trophies…
@CircaSports
@youngwort
@DerekJStevens
@JeffreyBenson12
You guys really don’t want to give anything back to your players for this? I’ve bet over 100k+ easily this year. Other books who are refunding the bet had the same odds at the time but I chose circa. Next time do I just bet futures that are the same odds at other…
Crazy experience.
My daughter had a school breakfast which my wife and I attended.
Kids were all signing their yearbooks when this one kid asks me to sign his.
I later found out his pops listens to my podcast.
I fully accept being a role model for the gambling youth of America
All the math guys talk about understanding variance and Kelly betting and believing in the process.
Kelly is gonna run off with some other dude when your ass goes broke.
Maximizing EV means shit if you lose all your money.
If you can’t stomach going 0 for on any given day,…
Just spoke with my brother
@dinkinc
Dinky. He sounded great. We laughed we reminisced we told stories.
It was awesome.
Here are some pics of our times together touring the country for wrestling shows…
Looking to put out some videos in the next few months.
My goal is to give an over the shoulder view and watch my team in action.
Breaking down the when where and why of a given bet.
I think it would be cool but maybe it will be super boring.
Other topic ideas are welcome.
I’m so flooded with emotions on how incredible last night was.
Thank you to the hall of famers and their families
Thank you to the board of directors.
Thank you to the entire Circa team.
Thank you to my incredible team.
Thank you to all BetBash attendees.
Until next year!
Anyone out there inspired to build that next killer sports betting model, understand that you’re up against guys like BW who spends a cool mill/yr just on R+D alone. 😳
Saturday has 3 NFL and over 110 college basketball games .
Hard for bookmakers to keep up.
Don’t feel obligated to bet these “important” football games.
Money won betting pro football ain’t any greener than money won betting college hoops.
If you can’t be friends with people who have different political views than yourself, then you have serious issues.
Social Therapy is strongly recommended.
As much as I love the start of the football season, this is the time the scammy touts are in full guerrilla marketing mode with their bullshit records and empty promises.
Always remember:
Pro bettors extract money from bookmakers.
Pro scammers extract money from bettors.
Been sick as a dog. Barely could get out of bed. Woke up from a nap in a cold sweat and thankfully feel lighter symptoms. Hopefully I turned the corner. Doc said to stay home and ride it out and only go to hospital if I’m having trouble breathing.
Thanks for all the well wishes.
This is so sick. Wake up people.
When the love or hate of a politician is more important than a relationship with your own mother, you need to check yourself.
These are characters on a TV screen that don’t give two shits about you.
The naivety is incredible.
Over the last few years, American families have been torn apart by differing opinions on Trump- and many people don’t think the rifts can be mended. Here are a few of their stories. W/

@michaelvmartina
@Reuters
No American should have to go through the trauma and embarrassment of being surrounded by a mob and subsequently escorted off the property for placing “sharp” bets.
A state should not grant a sportsbook licensing if it resorts to the extreme measure of kicking its citizens out.
Shout out to
@davehill77
for taking the time to not only write such a great piece, but taking the time to hang out with me. Dave worked so hard interviewing and researching. He’s an incredible writer and I’m proud to call him my friend.
Professional Gambling is an art.
It comes in so many forms :
Sports, Casino, BJ, Table Games, Slots, Promotions, Horses, Poker, Backgammon, Gin Rummy etc..
It takes a special kind of person to accept working long hours and losing money
It’s beautiful and crazy at the same time
When I was kicked out of
@WilliamHillUS
last June, I asked the manager how would customers feel if they found out you kick people out. He told me, they never really find out. The public needs to know that if they get good enough one day, they will be limited/booted.
#UnAmerican
I get so many DMs on who I like in this CF game.
Just cuz the game is high profile doesn’t mean you have to bet it.
We were busy betting NBA injuries all day.
Money isint any greener if it’s won on the game everyone is talking about vs. the game no one is talking about.
If my ego ever gets big enough where I run a contest with the grand prize being a chance to spend time with me, please send someone to assassinate me.
Thanks 🙏
If my personal conversations or emails over the span of my lifetime were ever released,
I would probably be sentenced to death via extreme torture by multiple entities.
Instead I’ll just say how much I love you all and think you’re all so great 😁
I’ve been betting sports professionally for over 20 years and I thought I’ve encountered every different type of character in sports gambling.
Then I started doing these open mic Twitter spaces last couple of weeks and it made me realize I haven’t even scratched the surface.
I grew up seeing Magic and Bird battle and Jordan getting physically beaten by the Knicks/Pistons yet after elimination there was always a hand shake.
Lebron just walks off.
The lack of sportsmanship in today’s NBA is disgusting.
Kids are watching..
Role models don’t walk off
Supreme Court Justice will be nominated first and foremost on their race and gender as opposed to their credentials?!?
Race and gender should be a
NON-FACTOR.
Goes against everything MLK preached.
Content of character ✅
Color of skin ❌
We’re going backwards in time…
To avoid a huge lawsuit,
@DKSportsbook
needs to cancel the contest immediately. Pay out all the winning bets and refund the losers.
It’s a tough pill to swallow but when one guy can bet $5k/game and another guy can only bet $25 on the same game the contest is null and void.
I see so many tweets about the 4 wild card NFL games next weekend.
This coming week there will be 230+ ncaab games and over 40 NBA games.
The money won on playoff football isn't any greener.
Don't fall for the trap just cuz the games are highly publicized.
It's ok to pass.
If a 500 pound guy is denied access at an all-you-can-eat buffet, that’s discrimination.
If a winning sports bettor is denied access to bet at a sportsbook, that’s an accepted business practice.
Regulated bookmaking is still in its infancy stages. We can do better America!
I sat on the desk in my cell frantically reading all the stuff I picked up from the jailhouse law library on NY gambling law.
My cellmate
@ChineseMike2
ever so calmly uttered “Ten years from now we’ll look back on this day and laugh about it.”
Ten years from now is today 😂
“Closing Line Value means shit. It’s all about cashing tickets”
Many touts say this to justify
giving/selling advice on betting the current line
This is necessary when you make your living talking about betting vs. actually betting
As a pro bettor for 20+ years
CLV > Winning
Four friends (who I was in very close contact with) all tested positive and share similar symptoms. That’s more than enough info to know that I too am infected.
Testing centers are overbooked because healthy people seek assurance.
Stay home and leave the tests for the sick.
I’ve seen so many losing gamblers make excuses over the years.
The worst excuse though is this game is “fixed” and the “powers that be “planned this way.”
Once you start driving down Conspiracy Avenue, you need to take a sharp left and check yourself into Gamblers Anonymous.
The amount of pretend sports betting “experts” is exponentially growing.
Five years ago, these pretty faces thought the best bookmakers were Simon & Schuster or McGraw Hill
Their losing day is followed by another day of smiling and giving out more picks while you end up broke.
In building my business working 100+ hour weeks for 13 years, I didn’t win any father of the year awards. I was lucky to have a great wife who held it down. It’s important to balance work and family. Here’s my clan at a beach wedding yesterday on Marco Island FL.

This is incredible. William Hill Job Posting.
8 roles for the position.
Roles 3 and 4 focus on banning winning players.
“Identify customers impacting on profitability”
Contrary to what
@JoeAsher
says, William Hill kicks out winners.

Great time to tell everyone how solid
@CircaSports
is.
They take 50k on game day NFL sides on their app! That’s $50000.
That’s 500 times more than $100.

Hey
@FDSportsbook
, my account says it’s suspended. Your customer service leaves much to be desired.
I have a hefty balance and pending bets that I can’t even see.
Accounts has been open for years.
What gives?
How can you “live each day with an inner calm and peace” when your failure to be there for a friend (after promising you would be) led to his imprisonment and subsequently his daughter committing suicide?
Most of you will enjoy this football season with moderation while having lots of fun and entertainment. The fantasy leagues will provide banter amongst friends and money won or lost betting won’t affect you. I wont be betting this year because I crossed the line of moderation and…
We are about a month away from launching

As a teaser, below is a video on our Limit Change Alert feature. I’ve been using this feature for 20+ years. Part of me hates sharing it.
A line without a limit is like a house without a neighborhood.
A while ago the term “credible sports bettor” would mean someone who bets big or bets for a living.
I just learned that today, the term credible sports bettor simply means betting $20 with a pretty face.
When I started betting sports professionally, I would dream to “Be like Billy.”
Despite never coming remotely close, BW’s success and methodologies drove me to make myself better.
It was an honor to witness the best sports bettor ever Billy Walters’ induction into
