Jim Brown, Lee Pete, Donny Bader...........got to know all before starting in the business pre-1985

As fate would have it, Donny ended being a writer at the Sands when I was a supervisor/linemaker there late 80's...............in fact when mentioned Feist betting at the Sands between 5-6am Donny was the writer and I was supervisor, him and me were only two working the book between 5-7am hours.

Donny is every bit the Vegas legend of Feist and Pete.

Damn FH. Didnt know you had that kind of big-time history in Vegas. Sound like some pretty cool jobs

 

[slickfazzer]

FH has tons of stories from the old times.

Love them all.

Good footage CHUCKY!

Became friends with Lee Pete almost immediately upon moving to Vegas early 80's

Jim bet with me at the SANDS starting in 1988 in the wee hours of the morning (5-6am)........he got extra half point every game not on the 3 or 7, 10k limit.

Back in the day the numbers were softer but the info wasn’t as easy to get on these games. What’s your opinion on Billy Walters ? I think we can all agree. His story and success has been fudged a tad bit in the media.

 

[slickfazzer]

Walters was a business man.

He did have a huge network, but I would guess most of his riches came
from other business ventures.

Fishhead a pro

I can summarize my thoughts in a few sentences:

*He might have been good. But people make it sound like he had a license to print money.

Was he +$ on his send-out numbers? I'm sure he was.

Were the guys TAILING him +$? After the # moves, most or all of the value is gone. Good luck tailing him after the value has been sucked out. Terrible strategy, but a lot of people thought they were smart by tailing on a stale #. In Fixed Odds betting, it's all about the # on your ticket.
