We deep dive into sports betting continues and we sit under the learning tree of Gary Greene of Bluebook and Gary Wins BetVegas and BetVegas.tv

When did I develop a passion for sports? How did I transform it into a career?

I started at a young age playing lots of different sports. I grew up in NJ and when I was 10 my neighbor (best friend Father) was the big Bookie in town. My friend and I would work for him distributing "pools" (now called Parlay cards in Sportsbooks) to all the people in the neighborhood and to local businesses as well. It was Football related with Point spreads on the games. We would go back after a few days and pick up the filled out pools and the money each person would bet on each "pool/parlay card". If anyone won, then I would return on Tuesday to pay them their winnings.

Being involved in Sports Betting at a young age and being brought up in a city where sports betting, although illegal, was very big. I enjoyed it and really started gambling with other things like Poker and also playing Fantasy stuff with other friends. I realized by 18-19 it would likely become my career, but more as a Professional Sports Bettor. I was able to do that in NJ until I became 25 and started to bet too much on each game and was somewhat forced to move to Las Vegas so I could bet higher limits without any trouble. I started out only doing that but soon after arriving in Las Vegas I started being asked to be on Sports Radio shows to give my opinions on who I was betting that given day or weekend coming up. That led to getting my own Radio Shows, then TV Shows and also starting my own Football Betting Magazine. Hence, a second side career started off my initial career of just being a Professional Sports Bettor.

What is my favorite Sport from a Spectator point of view? From a Betting Perspective?

From just the spectator view it's Baseball. I don't bet on Baseball as a Pro so I can sit and enjoy the games and I love people watching so it's a very fun/relaxing few hours for me. I even get to work on my tan as well...lol! From a Betting perspective it's both Football and College Basketball, the two sports I am elite in the world at betting'

How did I learn about Sports Betting?

Again at a very young age I learned the basics at 10 years old then more of the betting on single games or parlays when I was around 14 or so.

How did I adapt to the world of Internet Sports Betting? Pros? Cons?

That really happened years into my move to Vegas, as there was no Internet in my first few years here. The Pros are not needing to get in the car and drive from Casino Sportsbook to the next one to place my bets as you can place online now. The Cons are betting online and you quickly get banned once they see you are a Pro.

Highlights of Bet Vegas company? Biggest challenges overcome?

Well thanks to the internet and radio shows for decades and having all the Vegas Sportsbooks take my Weekly Football Betting Magazine "The Bluebook" I was able to get noticed by tens of thousands of sports bettors across Las Vegas, the USA and even other countries. My biggest challenge is and always will be that 90-95% of people who give betting advice are not Pro's and don't even bet games and many are also Scammers who use this method to swindle naive people out of their hard earned money. It's a totally unregulated biz and so it's an easy score for crooks. I have to overcome the bad guys as most people's initial thoughts are that I am also a scammer, until they realize I am elite at my craft/profession and teach them how "not to be scammed".

What are some unique selling advantages of Bluebook/Bet Vegas company?

Well giving my Magazine away totally FREE the past dozen or so years enables tens of thousands of people to see first hand I know what I am doing, that I win on a regular basis, know I am fully credible at my profession and I also help them to make their own picks as well using the Magazine's elite stats.

Do I follow MMA/Boxing?

I watch both but rarely ever bet on either sport. I am not an Expert in either sport and watch for the enjoyment factor. The pitfalls are much like betting Baseball or Hockey, the lines on the favorites have very high betting odds. You can lose your bankroll very quickly, laying odds of way higher than 110-100. Laying say: 350-100 is like 3 1/2 losses on one losing bet.

What are my views on WWE? It's betting opportunities?

I actually do not watch WWE and have no real insight into its betting opportunities.

Thoughts on new WWE slot machines?

I actually haven't seen WWE slot machines although I am not a slot machine player....I do see all the new slot machines from old time movies, TV shows, sports type people though when I walk thru a Casino.

What cities and countries do I serve? Any no go zones?

I serve every USA city and really any country as well. Most of my following though is in USA.

What is my motto?

In life it is "treat the busboy the exact same as you treat a CEO or Celebrity". In biz, since my entire life revolves around "Sports Betting" it's always "Never bet what you can NOT afford to lose"
.

Can you tell us some personal stuff about yourself?

I am 59 years old and now finishing my 34th year as a Professional Sports Bettor/Magazine Publisher and Sportswriter/Radio/TV Personality. I have also done motivational speaking as I have been very lucky to have beaten "Lupus" for nearly 40 years. I enjoy the Beach, Sporting Events, Playing Poker, Shows/Concerts and spending time with my family/friends. My favorite foods are Pizza/Pasta, French Fries and Ice Cream and really any type of cakes/pies and I love Bagels as well.

end.
