Presumably he is looking for investors at this book club thing. Maybe he just wants recognition. It is clear that either one would be motivation for him. Those gambling naive rubes at the book club might pony up a few contest buyins. But TBH getting investors for small tournament entries isn't a good look.

I played a high-limit game .. (green chip at least.. ) There were 3 serious bettors. They all talked about how hard it was to get money down. Typically if they can find a loser with a history then that is very valuable. They talked of knowing of a bookie named 'bubba' and they'd fly in to pickup/drop off cash around Arkansas. That is not Redietz's world.

Redietz literally ridicules the fact that people get limited for being too sharp. Is he really that naive?

The most telling of it all though? The fact that he seems to look for investors and never a beard.

His reason for using his name? For a movie deal or somesuch? Can you imagine? You can't win enough gambling. You're past retirement age. Yet there you are, trying to get a movie deal. It really just smacks of desperation.

I agree about reading Billy's book but if you confront Redietz about anything he just goes to crickets mode. He is so shameless.

Axel - I don't think Redietz has any knowledge to contribute. He can talk a good game about football. I truly believe he is an expert in that area but i don't know if that expertise ever translated into being a winning cash betting sports bettor. Nah, all contests. Just like how really really good poker players often won't touch tournaments. They play cash games only. Tournaments are a waste of time. Redietz is that tournament guy for life.
One of the more interesting things that he has talked about was predictive line movement. I do believe there's some good value in that. I believe I've asked about this. I would love to see some specific numbers relative to the value. How often does this situation come up? What and how do you determine which way the line's going to move? Sure, I see some obvious situations but I also assume that the bookmakers also calculate part of this when they are making the lines. I would also assume that there are lots of other people doing the same thing. How does that affect a smaller sport better? What happens if the line doesn't move your way, that's what I'm just to fade the action do they attempt to lay off? What's the overall percentage on average that one is making for these types of bats?

Billy Walters talks of edges upwards of 20%. I guess I have to get the book to find out which games and which situations were giving them those types of advantages. In that interview just now posted he did mention a few good situations to look for I think it also had to do with the NFL road dogs.

And no, I'm not asking forever for every intimate detail and all the secrets, I'm just talking about in general.
