Former WSOP bracelet winner indicted in sports betting scheme

Strange story. They basically describe every tout service I’ve ever heard of. They all promise they have secret info to give you an edge, etc.

I'm thinking they probably had one or two good pieces of inside information (injury, etc...) when they started and realized they could leverage it. But, their "sources" probably dried up so they started creating information to sell. Making money for 16 years with this scam. Wow.

Ok this is ignorant and shoes how pathetic our feds are

They were basically acting as touts/a sports service

Stuff we've all seen for a very long time

And how is it illegal?

If so, them you gotta go after them all

Damn, we better shutdown congress.

do most touts claim they are on the inside with FIXED games?

that seems pretty dangerous to the young legal sports gambling industry to imply that there are widespread fixed games.

but wasn't this case also about money laundering over the course of many years?

Nothing we haven't seen the last 40 years. I can remember as a kid Stu yelling at the tv with his inside info.

I read this story yesterday a buddy posted in our what up app group. My reaction was how did his clients give up all that money if he wasn’t winning? Lord knows l wouldn’t renew my subscription. Something doesn’t seem right about this story. Any one remember Adam Myers?
