 Ultimate Real Life Sports Betting Legends

 

As any casual sports betting enthusiast will tell you, making successful wagers is difficult. Or at least, making successful wagers that land up gaining millions in profit is difficult. The trick is, of course, that to win big, big money must be staked, making the prospect incredibly risky.

It is because of these risks that exceptionally good sports betting pros gain enormous attention. There are, after all, only so many among us that can become millionaires by doing nothing but betting on sports. 

These are the legendary names in sports betting.

Ben “Parlay Patz” Patz

Ben Patz is well known for being amongst the youngest sports betting stars in the world. Incredibly, Patz started betting the moment he was legally old enough. With just a few key parlay bets Patz managed to rack up almost $1 million in payouts, defying even the wildest expectations of his abilities. At 22 he is widely seen as a sports betting rising star.

Patz did get into trouble after he sent abrasive social media messages to various sports teams, but he still managed to land the nickname of Parlay Patz for his incredible achievements.

William T “Billy” Walters

Billy Walters is widely known as the man that has made more money gambling than anyone else on earth. Walters is known to bet on sports, real estate, and the stock market, amassing a fortune of around $300 million in his life.

In fact, Walters has been so successful that many sportsbooks stopped accepting his bets. That is why he eventually started sending runners to bet on his behalf. It isn’t clear what betting methods Walters uses, but it’s probably safe to say he does more than simply check out the latest NFL picks.

Marco D’Angelo

Marco D’Angelo is an exceptionally well-respected sports betting star, not only because of his incredible success but also because of his methods. D’Angelo is quoted as saying that he often simply goes with his gut, rather than using complicated betting strategies.

His claims about his methods may or may not be true, but it’swell-known D’Angelo once correctly predicted the outcomes of 25 MLB games in a row. That is a success rate so high that virtually no tipsters in the world can claim to have achieved equal stats.

D’Angelo currently works for WagerTalk.com where he offers pro tipster picks.

Jon Price

Last is the world renowned JonPrice. Price is a respected mathematician and statistician and boasts a degree from NYU. Why is he famous in the world of sports betting? For a pair of public bets he placed that gained enormous attention.

The most lauded bet is the $1 million he put on Superbowl XLIX. Price won the bet, though the match came down to the wire with a play by Malcolm Butler saving the day in the last minutes. The second bet Price is known for is the $22,000 he put on the 2015 World Series. The payout came to a stunning $264,000.

Price is a regular guest at sports betting shows around the world.
