Billy Walters
"Do like Billy Walters and bet on yourself!"
Billy Walters is an excellent all-around professional gambler. He started gambling at 5 years old and never stopped. He is known as the greatest and richest sports bettor in the world. Claiming a lifelong 57% winning percentage on his sports bets. In 1986, Billy Walters won $3.8 million at the roulette exploiting the flaw of an old wheel at the Golden Nugget casino in Atlantic City. Winning $3.5 million on 2010 Superbowl and $400 000 on a single golf hole.
But things wasn't always that perfect for Billy Walters. Before making the big jump in Las Vegas to become a full-time pro gambler. At 35 years old, Billy Walters was the typical pathological gambler/loser. He was broke, owing money to several bookmakers, couldn't command any credit, into his third marriage, a ill son... Despite being a very successful used-car dealer, making between $400 000 to $500 000 a year, he was penniless. Gambling away all his profits.
No matter what regular job he got in the past, in his mind, he always been a professional gambler - pool, gin rummy, poker, blackjack, roulette, golf, horses, whatever... But it all changed when in 1982, he moved to Vegas and focused all his efforts into being a professional gambler. After being broke fifteen times, as he said, he started to focus, went on a 30-year winning streak as a sports bettor, and became a success story.

Thankx to his sports betting expertise, the once dirt poor boy from Kentucky now worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He owns 7 homes around the world (one of his house worth $29 millions), 8 car dealerships, owns and operates 9 golf courses, shopping centers, commercial properties, a $20 million private jet, and a team of sports consultants and programmers who work for him in his gigantic office located in his Clark County area's grand estate. And on a normal day, he can gamble an easy $2 million which is enough to move the line and change the odds.
In a good year, he can rake $15 millions from gambling, which account for only 20% of his revenues. So if $15 millions represents 20% of his yearly revenue. We can conclude that he rake $75 millions a year, most of it via real estate. Not bad for a degenarate gambler!
