Here's some quotes from Walters' book, Chapter 10, The Computer Group:
"We were the nations largest betting syndicate. Our origins traced back to a geeky softball player tinkering on his computer."
"Michael Kent was a....math and computer wizard when he wrote the code that birthed the Computer Group....He wrote the computer program that pioneered the use of algorithms and PROBABILITY THEORIES to predict power rated numbers in sporting events against the official Las Vegas line. His creation proved to be a groundbreaking formula for wagering on college and professional sports."
"Mike upgraded his software program, which was performing more and more like a crystal ball, winning north of 60% of the bets....betting at times one hundred games per week."
"My job with the group was moving money....'Chicago Gary' was my man on the street in charge of a crew of at least thirty runners....On an average weekend with pro football, college football and basketball in full swing, we placed bets totaling more than $10 million."
