Summary

Colin Cowherd is joined by Art Manteris, a veteran bookmaker, to discuss sports gambling. They dive into some of the wildest sports gambling stories ever told — from massive celebrity bets to shocking moments involving Mike Tyson, Phil Mickelson, Shohei Ohtani, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. — plus unbelievable stories tied to organized crime and the Vegas betting world. How big were the bets? Who really beat the house? And what actually happens behind the scenes when millions are on the line? This conversation pulls back the curtain on high-stakes wagers, celebrity gambling rumors, sportsbook strategy, and the reality of how Las Vegas operates. If you’re into sports betting, Vegas history, or jaw-dropping gambling stories, this episode is for you.
