Consultant Bio
Known in the sports betting industry as Ace, Vegas-Runner, & Gianni the Greek, professional sports bettor & handicapper Gianni Karalis has been known as one of the most esteemed movers in Las Vegas for over 20 years. VR broke into the industry as a bookmaker in Philadelphia in the late 1980's and by the mid-90's he was moving steam with the most profitable and respected betting syndicates at that time. Information was not as readily available back then and the multiple wiseguys these groups bet for won at a rate unimaginable by today's long-term winners.
The problem back then wasn't gaining access to more wiseguys or even getting money down on the plays, it was getting paid. Bookmakers were becoming harder to find and less eager to pay once they realized they weren't going to get their money back, so the obvious move was to head out to Las Vegas where at least you were guaranteed to get paid on a winning bet.
Ace started out stationed as a runner at the Stardust Race & Sports Book which at the time was the center of the universe for sports betting. They took pride in putting out the opening lines for everything, and were willing to take a nice sized bet even from the sharpest of bettors. His job was to wait for "buy orders" that came via two-way radios and then get down as much money as possible at the desired price. Eventually the offshore sports book industry exploded and the game was changed forever on how wiseguys used betting syndicates to get their action down.
Though he had nothing to promote, Gianni was a guest on the famous Stardust Line radio show due to his reputation for being a runner for many of the most respected wiseguys. Almost all the other guests were "pick sellers" and the opportunity for him to sell his information arose and Vegas-Runner was born.
The experience was like nothing Ace had expected and he was afforded a front row seat to the "pick selling" industry. He offered his service to a few different sites and saw many good and bad practices and habits. During that experience VR could be heard on local and national ESPN, FOX, CBS, Yahoo radio and more. He's been seen and featured on a CNBC sports betting special, a NY Times Magazine expose on sports betting, "The Best of It" sports betting documentary, monthly on the UFC on FS1 Pre-fight Show., and more. He's also written for Gaming Today and many other publications and newspapers through the years.
There are very few bettors in Ace's position, with access to respected and profitable wiseguys & betting syndicates daily. There are very few bettors with the experience and knowledge to determine "set-ups", "numbers moves", & "middle attempts" from "REAL MOVES" like VR can. And there are even fewer bettors with those abilities who are willing to share it, like Gianni does.
From the most seasoned and big bettors, to the newest and smaller ones, Gianni will tell you with certainty what the most profitable bettors in every sport have the most money on every day...making you a mathematical certainty to be in the 1% of bettors who win long-term.
