In 1986 a guy got kicked out of every casino in Vegas for counting cards. So he flew to Hong Kong with $180,000 and started betting on horses instead.
He walked away with almost $900 million.
It was Bill Benter.
He realized horse racing was just another counting problem same math, more moving parts.
He and a partner built a computer model that estimated the true odds of each horse. If his numbers showed an edge, he bet. If not, he skipped it.
That’s the whole trick:
Expected value.
EV = p · b − (1 − p)
Only bet when the probability of winning × the potential payout is greater than the chance of losing.
What’s even crazier is that Benter once gave a 45-minute lecture explaining the math behind his system.
That recording was never supposed to become public.
And almost nobody knows it exists.
This is the lecture that professional bettors and hedge fund analysts studied.
The answer is in this video.
Every AP Top 25 team, next to what its roster costs.
BYU: No. 2 in America, 39th in spending.
Texas: No. 19, most expensive roster in the sport.
Who's getting the most for their money?
Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

Islam did this.
Not radical, jihadist, terrorist, fundamentalist, extremist Islamism. Just Islam.
Islam is Islam—and it is pure evil.
And for the New Yorkers who have forgotten that, may you get EVERYTHING that your shameful, idiotic actions deserve.
WOAH 🚨 Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Newsom diverted fire aid money into their own nonprofit
New evidence shows it’s worse than we thought, Jennifer Newsom also personally pocketed over $4 MILLION through ‘California Volunteers,’ which was created by Gavin Newsom within the Office of the First Partner (which is an office Gavin Newsom also created)
“Now we are finding out that Gavin's wife has personally netted over $4 million through this nebulous organization. Cal volunteers a weird NPO that Gavin simply made up for her within the office of the first partner, but nobody can fully explain what they actually do.
Well now it's a pretty California thing for rich dudes to make up fake businesses that burn money so their wives can stay busy and keep distracted from their affairs”
It’s time to investigate and arrest Gavin Newsom. How much evidence do we need, why is he so untouchable. They’re stealing millions
Just so we’re clear this is 2 separate organizations
Fire Aid money was sent to California Volunteers Fund which is NGO Newsom’s wife is involved in
AND
California Volunteers which is a government agency under the Office of the Governor
We are being robbed blind by these criminals
