LANCE LEGENDS

 Lance Legends' gambling life began at the age of seven. He first learned about point spreads during Super Bowl XVI (49ers vs. Bengals) when his father, a bookie, was rooting against his beloved 49ers. "I don't care if the Niners win, son, they just can't win by more than four points." By high school, Legends was hitting parlays and picking winners. By 17, he was playing blackjack in Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada. At 18, he won $13,000 rolling craps in Reno and was deemed "the best roller on the planet" by the stick man at Fitzgerald's.

 Legends was an All-American at American River College and then transferred to Texas Tech, where he won two Big 12 championships. He studied statistics and real estate, fields he utilizes to this day. 

Legends played nine and a half years of professional baseball, starting in the Pittsburgh organization, where he was a two-time minor league all-star. His athletic background and competitive DNA have made him one of the most successful sports gamblers in the industry. .
