What about all the money you lost witg durr??????
This dude's life could definitely be a movie
He talks about tom Dwan and Debt
Sixxck interview
I was skeptical when I saw the title but everything he says is accurate. Very cool how he found that edge in the NBA. That’s something you dream of as a sharp bettor.
Haralabob is a great interview, but you guys really need to work on your interviewing skills. I understand you guys get excited about different things your guests are bringing up, but Sam, especially, has this AWFUL habit of interrupting right as a guest is really cooking on a topic. Really hard to watch a guest trying to go deep on a topic and then suddenly get interrupted by some nonsense Sam thinks is important and wants to interrupt with.
Sketchy bad person
You know what they say: always trust a gambler when they declare their earnings!
What a giant dbag
It was briefly mentioned that odds are set by bookmakers. If you are consistently sharper than the bookmakers over the long run, you can profit by betting against them. However, once the bookmakers realize you have an edge, they may either close your account or limit the amount you can wager.
Also discussed the concept of "beards" — accounts used to place bets on behalf of skilled gamblers. These accounts are often either high-volume accounts that don’t raise suspicion or accounts belonging to high-net-worth individuals. Professional gamblers who outperform the house rely on others’ accounts to place their bets.
For professional sports bettors, half the battle is finding enough accounts to get their bets placed without detection.
My BS meter is strong with this one.

Nice to see a different perspective and I do like that he had opportunities to answer some important questions about how he operates, how he invests, and what he does with his money. But, I must say, hard to replicate. 😂
You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires. ❤️
best hbob interview of alltime!
Why did you guys cut the Luka Doncic part?
He looks just like Angel Di Maria 🇦🇷!
What's the name of his construction company? Anybody have a link?
We need Dana White on to talk about his blackjack skills 😂😂😂😂😂
Lots of comments about this guest not seeming trustworthy. Idk about that but he definitely lacks the nerdiness this podcast usually has. Like he’s too cool for it.
Billionaire Bettor. Legend.
Very interesting episode!
Most interesting episode ever!
i've enjoyed listening to bill simmons podcast when Haralabob was a guest for years. his edge in gambling is pretty fascinating. he'd need a lot of partners to be able to get down as much action as he claims. i'd imagine most of his 'beards' (as he called them) were celebs and massive losers so the books allowed for large action before being limited.
