Episode Notes
Today we bring you the author of one of the world's most epic gambling stories. Award-winning writer Kit Chellel is a reporter for Bloomberg & Businessweek Magazine, where he covers sports betting and financial scandals. His work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune, among many other prestigious publications. Most importantly for today, he’s the author of the wonderful new book LUCKY DEVILS: The True Story of Three Rebel Gamblers Who Beat the Odds & Changed the Game, available now wherever books are sold.
Today he discusses the wild and raucous story that began in late 1970s Las Vegas, a tale described by critics as “a rollicking true story of a trio of gamblers hell-bent on beating the house.” Kit has spent years covering the exploits of a team of professional gamblers, including the infamous Billy Walters and horseracing kingpin Bill Benter, and has grown nearly as familiar with the world of betting as our hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter. Kit also discusses what it's like covering the secret world of the biggest gamblers in the world, and how Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the world of sports betting and casino wagering. #Volume
