May.25.16. Interview with Norm Kelly
Veteran handicapper and sports book manager Norm Kelly joined us today for an interview, and we were truly delighted. He spoke with energy and authority on the topic he devoted his personal and professional life on–race and sports handicapping. He also offered the insider’s view of the changes in the sports betting industry from the 1960s until today from the perspective of a bettor, then professional handicapper and later as a sports book manager at Sam’s Town.
Sports betting now permeates the culture and has broken the traditional boundaries of age, geography, income and gender, according to Norm. We are grateful for his views and contributions to this documentary.
