Are you kidding? He's insane. Once ran 100 miles without training to win a bet. Almost killed himself.

This is correct. He was up like $2M in the previous 4 months, but spent/gambled/invested it all. It's in this book.

anyone who is saying ted forrest should never be allowed to contribute to a NVG thread ever again. he is one of the sickest prop bettors and pit gamblers of all time. he has lost over a million in one day playing craps on more than one occasion.

and as far as howard lederer goes, he is also an infamous prop bettor, and he used to run a huge sports betting operation in which he and steve zolotow were betting several million every weekend.

I think Chris Ferguson is a front runner here. I like Ferguson and admire his thinking on poker but it's extremely analytical/logical/math based. IMHO, he would see table games/prop bets/etc as -EV and thus wouldn't be interested. No gambool.
