My husband used to gamble when I first met him. He lost way more than he won. I was keeping track. Starting this football season, he became a bookie and slowly but surely he's netting real money every week. We just spent 6 days in Vegas. Vegas is usually a losing prospect for us. My husband used it as an opportunity to get more gambling clients. Net positive cash from that trip!
So why am I telling you this? The guys featured are total frauds. Vegas Dave is defrauding his parents. Clearly. The guy is making significant cash from selling his picks, but he is obviously still addicted to the "action" and losing more than he's making. I have to edit to add that in episode 3 near the end, the film crew does Vegas Dave dirty by showing his itty bitty, tiny little precious delicate feet in his teensy little sneakers and I was so mortified for him. That's when I realized why he never settled down.
And what about the daily fantasy guy in Chicago? Uh, delusional at best. If you pay attention to context in the program, he has roommates in his apartment. He is the #4 ranked daily fantasy player. So aspirational that the guy shares a 3/2 apartment with 2 other
guys.
Here's the unfortunate thing about Kelly. I bet she is extremely gifted with her picks and if a person were to take all of her picks every time, they'd probably be at .700. She's a woman and without a doubt completely underestimated in her field. I bet she doesn't get the credit she deserves. Start taking her picks. Bet you'll win a bunch.
The guy that stays in the Athenian-looking suite in the Westgate said the only rational thing of any of the documentary subjects: he said you don't have to bet every game. This is a guy to listen to as well.
