ordered 2 copies today; one for my son, and one for me. Billy says your word is your bond - I believe that more than anything. And thanks, Brent, for a great interview. Your passion for the subject really comes through. Thanks again!!
THIS is what VSin needs to be more, Brent needs to be back on the network, Vinny, Jimmy, Amal, the original My Guys in the Desert set up, Mike Palm, Derek Stevens etc - get rid of whoever is in charge of things now & go back to something classy like this, we don't need loud mouth guys in hoodies yelling on Zoom in their basement like sports grid or how terrible ESPN is now
The book doesn’t even mention Billy’s marriage to Barbara and the death of her husband and his daughter at the time of their divorce and how she died of the disease and her family was devastated by the loss of their daughter.
Walters sorta brings up a key point in this...yes, Phil didn't make the bet on the Ryder Cup...but that was a bet with Walters himself as Walters thought it was a bad idea. That doesn't mean that Phil didn't make the bet somewhere else. He just didn't make it with Walters.
Bill is sO popular in ky that ive met at least 40 people stating "BILLY IS MY BEST FRIEND"...ive known some family for decades..RIP GARLAND WALTERS ...
Really? Because when he says there is no doubt in his mind that if Phil Mickelson makes a statement on behalf of Billy Walters he doesn't go to jail when a lot of people said basically the same thing about Jimmy the Greek when Brent didn't say one word in his defense he got fired.
@@anthonya2349 Brent couldn't have helped Jimmy The Greek. CBS fired him and the networks wouldn't hire a guy that made so called racist comments. Jimmy was drunk in a bar when he made those comments, the reporter screwed Jimmy.
@@JamesG1126 Walters didn't want Phil to lie, just tell the truth (that's his version of course). If memory serves (I'm too lazy to look it up as I write this) the prosecutor for the Feds was none other than Dan Goldman, one of the sleaziest operators around who is unfortunately now a congressman from New York. Goldman wanted Walters bad (Walters had beaten the Feds in court many times previously), and Goldman probably told Mickelson that if he testified for Walters that he would come after him for insider trading, but if he played ball, paid back a million, and plead the 5th, he'd leave him be. I'm completely speculating, as I have no inside knowledge of the case, but I do have some inside knowledge of Federal prosecutions in general and let's just say it's hard to tell which side is the actual criminals sometimes in a Federal prosecution case.
Wouldnt have been any different with Mitch & Pauly. The parameters of the interview were set beforehand. Ever hear Mitch & Pauly's interview with their boss Jason Robins? Could've made smores with their questions
@@mattpatrick3536 " The parameters of the interview were set beforehand?" What is that supposed to mean? My point was Brent was just all over the place and it looked like a lot of stuff was cut out.
Some of the comments on here are hateful and downright disrespectful to two legends who have done nothing to them. Billy writes to help, and you disparage him, Brent does this interview and you call him old. Internet is the greatest invention since the wheel and we use it for this?? Maybe read the book and learn something about manners. The gambling Gods are watching, Don't poke Lono, Mahalo!
Because it's not true and only people that think that are the ones who are losing gamblers. You would never think that because that's absolutely silly there's no way that business would risk all that over a scripted In fact there's not one serious winning sports bettor that thinks though
Who was in charge of overseeing the audio? Do they have ears? There was an annoying chirping sound at the mic and I wouldn't have stood it to the end if it wasn't Billy's interview.
Brent Billy Walters might be the Michael Jordan but the late great Lem Banker was the Wilt Chamberlain and Wilt was the greatest of all time bare none don't ever forget that
Can we get a link to where we can purchase his book? I think this will be a very easy and profitable way to earn a little commission on this interview.
Brent truly one of the 🐐a real class act. Some of these new people with podcast and so called shows need to watch someone a great do a real interview. this was great. thanks a mill
Great interview. I’d like to play devil’s advocate about one thing: I don’t it’s fair of Billy to infer it’s Phil’s fault his daughter committed suicide. That’s just not right. That’s not on Phil. Other than that, I’m with Billy 💯-Phil is a pretty undesirable individual.
I don't think he's suggesting that Phil was the cause of his daughters passing.from my interpretation he's suggesting that Phil's testimony would have supported his defense,and this would have negated a prison term, therefore offering the possibility of Billy Walters being there to mentally support a child who most likely needed his mental support.
26:09 He says he'll handicap a game to get his own numbers. But in the 60 minutes interview, he said "I'm not a handicapper." In which interview was he lying?
In a documentary years ago, he showed how he got the handicapping from three great handicappers who don't bet themselves, and he said he paid them a million dollars each every year.
Billy never ever addresses all of the evidence against him in the insider trading trial. The guy from Dean Foods testified how he was feeding Billy inside info for years to get out of a gambling debt. He talked about the burner phones they would use and the code words. Billy made like $40 Million trading the stock over the years. Billy was guilty as sin.
@@acefromspace2727 we agree we live in a world where some people are given the death penalty for jaywalking while others are given awards for the same act
Sounds like people with way too much money and not knowing what to do with it! Buy an island or some land someplace. The fix is in, you are either in on it, or outside looking in!
Love us some Billy W! However the part where he went ever forgive Phil Mickelson is a mistake. Whether he wants to look at it or not, he attracted the problem to himself
I respect Billy's ability for risk and handicapping. What I don't respect is him telling Phil's story. If Phil wanted that out there it's his story to tell. Billy knows what risks his lifestyle brings. Billy is nothing more than a rat
Phil's a scumbag and a shitty friend. Billy took it easy on Phil when he could have said much more about him. Phil has never refuted anything Billy said about him cuz he can't. He knows it's true.
@@acefromspace2727 Plenty of evidence that the FBI was dirty as fuck and knowingly did illegal things to try to get a conviction. They even admitted it in court.

How was the book
Billy is the GREATEST!!!!! I read the book. Super stuff!!!!!
Who doesn't love Brent? I've been watching him since The NFL Today. True Legend!
How can't you love and admire Billy
Billy sorry for your loss of your daughter you are a legend 👍👍👍

Billy Walters is a super nice guy !!! Came into the South Point book many times
I'm surprised they let him bet.
@@acelarson1872becuz he is losing money as well
The Great Brent Musburger still does a great interview.
Just got off Apple Books on the iPad, Can’t wait to read up at Cottage on Labor Day Weekend!
What an excellent interview. 🔥
What I want to know is WHEN is the movie coming out? Billy Bob Thornton has to be anxiously awaiting the call to play this man!
Riveting life story, outstanding book. Billy has gone through so much pain, so many ups and downs a person can learn from.
I learn that honesty and hard work usually pay off. Don't try to cheat the system. Billy is a bad dude.
Great interviews. I’m looking forward to reading the book.
Gambling addiction is similar to alcoholism and drug abuse.
Two all time legends.
Can't wait to read the book!!
The book doesn’t even mention Billy’s marriage to Barbara and the death of her husband and his daughter at the time of their divorce and how she died of the disease and her family was devastated by the loss of their daughter.

In the 80s I worked as a bartender in a NYC restaurant where Brent was an occasional patron. A nicer guy never existed.
Not convinced that Phil testifying would of guaranteed a not guilty verdict. Great interview!
it would have helped!
Phil was smart in not lying under oath. When jail is on the line, he wasn't going to lie for his friend. You have no friends in jail.
@@JamesG1126 He was not being asked to lie, Billy just wanted him to tell the truth.

Where’s the movie on Billy life
Wow, didnt know about her daughter doing that. Amazing interview and stories.
I loved watching CBS with Brent & Jimmy the Greek! I lost 50 cents to my friend on the 1978 Super Bowl....lol.
I would love to meet both these Legends.
Wong Teasers going g from 1.5 to 7.5 or -7.5 to -1.5 can be worth it at -120. Parlays can be good if there is correlation. Big Fave with Over etc.
Cannot bet correlated parlays
Brent Musberger is one of the greatest sportscasters. If you dont like him you dont like sports.
Is this vsins RUclips page? I learned about it from a pod.
Brent has always been one of the best commentators. But age has caught up with him. No disrespect.
This "interview" was pathetic. Billy should have been on with Pauly and Mitch instead.
Pauly and Mitch would have been excellent
Wouldnt have been any different with Mitch & Pauly. The parameters of the interview were set beforehand.
Ever hear Mitch & Pauly's interview with their boss Jason Robins? Could've made smores with their questions
@@mattpatrick3536 " The parameters of the interview were set beforehand?" What is that supposed to mean? My point was Brent was just all over the place and it looked like a lot of stuff was cut out.
exactly...VSIN is the proper venue for this....@@mattpatrick3536
He and Phil obviously have some Bad Blood.........
Never liked Phil much anyway. Now I hate his guts. And Wynn, yeah won't be staying there - ever.
As Walters family friends we can't stand Phil.

Is this your first time on the internet?
And I scrolled way down and didn’t see any so couldn’t be too many disrespectful ones relax pal
Blow me snowflake
I got the book had it preordered. Wish Billy had fessed up about the professional sports bring scripted. Oh f n well.

@@arthurfonzarelli9828 I won over 79 thousand last year. Sports gambling, on the knowledge of such.
Brent in Rocky 2, “ where is Rocky Balboa”
Love the book! I'm half way thru.
This worked 20-30 years ago ..a lot of funny biz going on now definitely would have to adjust
Who was in charge of overseeing the audio? Do they have ears? There was an annoying chirping sound at the mic and I wouldn't have stood it to the end if it wasn't Billy's interview.
Buying this book.
I'm read the book now
Brent Billy Walters might be the Michael Jordan but the late great Lem Banker was the Wilt Chamberlain and Wilt was the greatest of all time bare none don't ever forget that
Its amazing how much Phil lost that he could play golf as well on the course as he did without the stress of it all.
I doubt there's any actionable secrets in the book tbh...maybe stuff that worked a decade ago but it's doesn't make any sense to give hid edge away
Can we get a link to where we can purchase his book? I think this will be a very easy and profitable way to earn a little commission on this interview.
On Amazon.
Amazon
Barnes & Noble,,,Brent said!
Enjoyed that must get the book
26:09 He says he'll handicap a game to get his own numbers. But in the 60 minutes interview, he said "I'm not a handicapper."
What would Trump’s relationship with Wynn have to do with the outcome of Billy’s possible pardon? Trying to understand.
Not supposed to be talking to Phil about this case, at all!
Brent truly one of the 🐐a real class act. Some of these new people with podcast and so called shows need to watch someone a great do a real interview. this was great. thanks a mill
Why is this book a Topic and why did Billy boy not mention these allegations 30 years ago before his daughter was killed?
Why in hell is Phil M. Is still allowed to play golf, he is a digenerate gambler plain and simple.
Great interview. I’d like to play devil’s advocate about one thing: I don’t it’s fair of Billy to infer it’s Phil’s fault his daughter committed suicide. That’s just not right. That’s not on Phil. Other than that, I’m with Billy 💯-Phil is a pretty undesirable individual.

Of course I have no idea where exactly I saw him explaining that.
Watch every long video about him and you may find it !

you cant bet with scared money just look at money as a tool to make more

I don’t know Phil but I would not want to sell lemonade with him.
Phil the friends of BW in Lexington won't forget your lack of loyalty to BW..

Prison changed him.
There is no honor amongst thieves.
34:35 "There's only a handful of states that haven't legalized it yet." Brent needs to do his homework before he makes such ridiculous statements.
I’ll tell all my friends not to game at his casino Steve the cry baby 😭
So much for pro-golfers being stand up guys.
I think Larry king is alive lol
Brent sucks up at the end by saying Billy deserved a full pardon but doesn't say why. He guaranteed himself another interview by saying that. Suck up.
These 2 old guys have no idea how AI is affecting modern sports-betting.
BILL is well aware of the tech side of his endeavors..he hires the best..80+ interviews for his latest computer hiree .
if you say so, but going on what he says in this interview, I doubt it
