Its a good question Wolf brings u pthough.
What is he doing so well that others can't? Its not like hedge funds or some other industry where there are TONS of successful people. In sports betting there are very few multimillionaires making their $ off sports betting.
I'd imagine you would run into a lot of problems when you started betting bigger like limits, being cut off, your picks leaking out and moving the lines before you can get all you want down on it, etc

He's got a good team and plenty of capital
Yeah I get that. Goes w/o saying.
How can he effectively deploy all that capital though? Millions on games. Lets face it, there aren't THAT many outs for someone to deploy that type of money consistently year after year and not get shutoff. Especially considering how the softest lines are overnights and those get pounded into place for much smaller stakes than what he is betting.
Reno, any other insight into his operation? Is he a capper, does he bet mostly at WA lines? I'd assume he beats the spread a lot but its 2010 and the sprots betting market has been more efficient cause of the internet for like 8-10 years now.
Didn't you guys hear him when he said he has a whole team of analysts that have been with him for 30 years that break down all the details for him of all the games and provide it to him? He talked about the one guy that was like a savant that remembers every player in detail, from high school, college, etc. He said "information" was his key to success. That is being provided by his team to him. He takes that, makes his own lines, as he stated, and then the wider the margin between his line and the books line, he plays stronger. One thing you may have noticed is that he plays a large number of games. Practically the whole NFL card. Take another look at the online link and you'll hear what I'm referring too!
So hes betting around 200 NFL games a year, maybe 300-400 plays when you include totals at -110 at close to WA #s and hes winning? Thats a lot of volume and a lot of $. Wheres he getting all this action down? Why after 20 years if hes making so much hastn he been shutoff? I'm not disputing anything, just a lot of it seems tough to me.
Hell I've won 5 figures a few times and I felt like the site wasn't too thrilled with it and might shut me off...
