The story of "Red" (near as I can figure....for anyone who cares)
This dude who lives in Johnson City Tennessee, aka "East Bubble Fuck" Tennessee. We know this because he told us 100 times, posting his own address (doxing himself). Apparently he inherited a small house from his father who's last address was the same. Some think he buried the father of the same name in the backyard and collected his SS check for years. I hope that is speculation and not true. All we know more recently is that the great sports handicapper/bettor of 40 years seems to have trouble paying a $500 property tax bill.
Lets take a look at some of Red's claims.
1) That he is a great sports bettor handicapper who worked for and learned from Industry great Billy Walters. Near as I can tell maybe he was a runner for Walters for 1 year. Otherwise Walters doesn't seem to know who the fuck R.E. Dietz is.
2) That he plays a number of sports betting contests every year. Apparently he did well in Some contests in 1984 and has the documentation to prove it. The very same documentation or "package" as it was known 7 years ago that he tried to shove down Alan's throat.
3). These days as each football season progresses he likes to tell us of contests he is doing well in. (i.e. 108th place out of 2500 contestants, when only the top 20 cash anything)And the contests he isn't doing well, we don't hear about.
4) The other thing Red likes to do is at the very end of the football season he will tell you 1 or 2 teams in the college football playoffs that he has future bets on from the beginning of the season at some long shot odds. Never a mention until the end. Who knows if THAT is real or how many teams he had futures on that didn't make it.
5) 100 days a year spent in Vegas each year for 40 years. How many times have we heard this shit. Why? Most of what he is doing or claims he is doing can be done online from East Bubble Fuck Tennessee or anywhere else. He wants you to think he is some kind of Vegas insider, who knows Vegas. I don't care, but see no evidence of it. When he visits Vegas he stays at downtown Hotels where he apparently pays rack rate. He doesn't even seem to know how to get rooms comped at these lower end places. His "higher end" place where he spends the final few nights of each trip is Tuscany Suites on Flamingo between Koval and Paradise. THAT is his HIGH END place. But then again, Red is from Tennessee.
6) he likes to name drop people. Everyone from a GF who is the daughter of a mob boss, to professors to people he played a pickup basketball game with 50 years ago at lunch. WHO THE FUCK CARES!!!!
7) When in Vegas he will tell you where he is eating breakfast or lunch and invite people to stop by. No one does. No one cares.
8) Last year he was interviewing sports betting people or writing a book or something. You would have thought these meetings and interviews would have taken place in Las Vegas, but no. He had the Johnson City (East Bubble fuck) BOOK club booked, in a room at the library. No one showed up.
The guy that spends 100 days a year in Vegas seems to know as much about Vegas as any other tourist that visit a couple times a year. Probably about as much as the Rodeo folks that come each December.
Now I have no idea if Red really made a living in the sports betting industry for 40 years. I always took him at his word. But recently, within the past few years, people have uncovered the very documents he used to "pitch" perspective clients, right down to a projected return on investment.
All signs point to the guys involvement in sports betting for 40 years was as a "tout". I mean is that really a professional sports bettor?
And for someone who spends 100 days a year in Las Vegas, he seems to understand zero about real professional gamblers, known as APs these days. he has no clue about things like EV and why such players NEED to maintain their anonymity. The only thing Red seems to understand about APs is that some find some things they can do and make money on in sports betting and he doesn't like it. He feels threatened by it. Guess what hillbilly dork. THAT is what APs do.
I am not on a crusade like I was with Singer and Dawg who both spewed complete bullshit gambling claims. I don't really care if Redietz made money as a sports bettor or not.....even as a tout. I don't care if that was his primary income or not. And I sure as hell don't care if he did well in a couple contests in 1984.
I just don't fucking care!! But I will be damned if I will say nothing while this sports picking "tout" calls other real players, real APs scammy. Nothing more scammy than a "tout".




And the contests he isn't doing well, we don't hear about.
