I guess Dec 26 is a slow news day but I don’t even know where to begin with this article. Is this for real? If he is legit why would he out those people? And who is bankrolling him?

Betting over $20 mm this year is impressive no matter where the $ comes from.
Never heard of this clown.
Pretty dumb to even be mentioning the pro players that like to bet.

This ki d is a massive piece of garbage. He owes several people that I know large sums of money, both from gambling and outright theft. He's about as sharp as a jelly donut. He's a complete scumbag.

The article reads as if he is the reason they created the name "Douche Bag".

This part of the article stands out the most to me:

**A financial statement from William Hill shows Gorodetsky has bet more than $26 million on sports in 2017 with the sports book that operates a phone betting app Gorodetsky uses.

The statement also shows Gorodetsky made $245,000 on the bets**

Wait... so he hits over 60%% of his bets, yet made LESS THAN 1% (0,9%) ROI of $26million?

RED FLAG and calling BULLSHIT on this guy... and why wouldnt he show a win/loss with a HIGHER amount or ROI? I am thinking its cause thats the only book where he made some money. And if you are betting that much, and you are a WINNER, books will cut you off or limit you. So, this is another BS artist

Yup, there’s more to this then most people know. He’s not only a fraud with his handicapping but an outright thief and loser. Has suckered many professionals and businessmen I know.

This guy shows reporters from USA Today texts from Odell Beckham wanting to bet $20,000 on a baseball game? Dude needs to have some discretion.

I have a question on this article:

Steve Fezzik says if a gambler starts with $1,000, bets 10% of his bankroll a day and wins 60% of his bets, at the end of five years he will have $1 billion. Accurate? What if he loses his first bet, etc?

Accurate but flawed. Limits will kick in.

What are the assumptions though? I ask because let's say you start with $1,000 but lose your first 6 wagers...then what?

After the first loss 10% would be $90, then $80 ect. You never go broke if you recalculate after every loss. And after every win you increase.
