Anybody watching Action, the sports documentary on Showtime? Episode one shows parts of the SU NC football game

[Roger N]

It's a four part series on sports betting covering the 2018 football season. It follows some touts, degenerative gamblers and professional gamblers. One tout is Vegas Dave, he sells a "Whale" game (lock) for $499. One whale is SU over NC by 2 points. They show Vegas Dave being very nervous as NC takes the lead. Vegas Dave keeps making predictions on what plays are coming up but is usually wrong. I am glad I am not a sports bettor.

The morning sports show I listen to has a couple guys on each week for a betting segment. They HAAAAAAAAAATE Vegas Dave. Call him a con man and a fraud. Sounds about right.
