I wish I knew that at the time, because I would have exploited those, too.

Anyway, I'm guessing it's not just the 3-pointer's rise which has chased Haralabob out of the NBA. I think the books are too sophisticated now, and he can't beat them.

I'm not taking anything away from him, but at the same time, I'm not sure if he's the sportsbetting deity that many have hailed him to be.
Half time lines were a gold mine for a few guys back in the day.

I remember him saying for second half he crushed Utah games when they had a lead under Jerry Sloan the team slowed the pace of the game down so much and books didn't adjust to it.

What I wonder is how he made his initial 100k, 1 million,etc... ?

Did he just have money from some place to start off with or get super lucky not to go broke risking more of his net worth then he should?

Their always has been a few mysteries in his story of coming up that would be interesting to know.
