Hall of Fame Bookmaker Reveals Shocking Secrets of Mob Ties, Tyson’s Bets, and Mickelson’s Hidden Wagers on Colin Cowherd Podcast

Ever wonder what it was like to run the show in Vegas when the air smelled of smoke, the stakes were personal, and a handshake was worth more than any contract? Colin Cowherd’s podcast recently cracked open that very vault with Art Manteris, the former Westgate SuperBook director, whose stories read like the script of a lost Sin City epic.

It’s a raw, unfiltered look at an era where mobsters still whispered in back rooms, and credit was as fluid as the cocktails.
