Billy Walters....is he great because of Handicappers, his computer, or inside info?

I am guessing it is mostly handicappers and inside info that makes him the most successful gambler ever. I would love to hear other opinions.

His greatness is in direct proportion to the # of beards he has working.

People can only speculate on all that makes BW great. For if anyone REALLY knew, they could mimic BW and make as much coin as he does, which I highly doubt will happen in my life time...

For the most part, the information that BW gets is part of the equation, but how he puts that into motion is what probably separates his group from the rest of the pack...

As great as he once was, his information and sources seem to be pretty ice cold or tapped out the last 12 months.

Its a combination of the three.Billy use to get the best information, but it seems to me that because of all the information available out there its getting harder for him to get the best numbers.The N.B.A. is a prime example Billy can't get the numbers anymore because people are grabbing all the best numbers on the overnight lines.Also there are alot of smart new young handicappers out there with good computer programs.But saying all that Billy is still in a class by himself.

I!m sure it is a lot of the abpve answers. Back in the early 90!s, Billy got all of the good info through his beards and other ways. He also had a hell of a good computer program. through the years a lot of his people have gone out on there own, some keep all or some of the info and with everthing that is now available it is easier to ge different numbers. Plus, what might be a small play for instance. at a minus3, after all the beards and followers. Tikwers and suckers jump on it might go as high as 7. Then Billy alot of times will find a biggerplay plus the 7.He still manages to get a lot of games down at hisprerferred numbers . It has been harder for him to get the amounts he would like sometimes, because of the followers. He plays a lot of games to make up for it sometimes, and i believe this in the end will hurt him . Till later. B.R.
