I think they just posted this a few days ago online. Voulgaris ,Chad Millman, Matt Holt and Jeff Ma at Sloan conference on stage talking about analytics. Voulgaris questioned Holt on his claim last year at Sloan about never turning down bets and "well take a $1M bet" Voulgaris has 5,000 limits at cantor. Video gets good at the 20 minute mark. They talk a little bit about baseball at 28 minute mark, Voulgaris talks about the changes this year with Pinnacle and how hard it is to get money down anywhere now, alot of talk about modeling and stuff about situational handicapping, sharp money on small volume college basketball games. Near the end, Holt talks about November and December being the toughest time for a bookmaker with the large number of college games and all the games to line.

This one is pretty good. I saw alot of stuff on twitter how Voulgaris and Holt really went at it but it seemed pretty civil. The second is last years conference with Holt and Dr.Bob where Holt talks about Cantors risk management .

"The least you could do is have posted limits and take that minimum amount from everybody no matter who you are"

"When I was there we would put the bet on the tablet and the little wheel would spin... it would spin... and the bet would get declined. That would happen like 30% of the time. During that period, the lines would move elsewhere. There are some shenanigans going on."

He wasn't anything special at all so there won't be any added edge

Coltranedog -

I have no info on the arrests etc, but I will say that when I was betting Cantor, they'd often deny my bets and then the lines at pinnacle and a few other books would move instantaneously.

I was betting through their tablet and it was really frustrating, the little wheel on the tablet would spin, then the lines at books offshore would move and Cantor would refuse the bet.

Someone at Cantor was either betting these other books or giving info to others to go out and bet the games. I guess its more likely that Colbert was the guy doing that
 
they rejected potato's bets at the window too

he would often go up to the window, ask for sides, they would say "it's now ___" and he'd sit back down

then he would open the app and it's still the price he wanted, only to find out it was per managerial approval above $20

this book makes stations look like pinny
