He Invented Online Sports Betting! Jay Cohen Talks Prison, Big Bets & More!
Q: What did year one look like for your venture—were you profitable right away or did it take time?
The early days were slow and lonely in Antigua, with the major payoff coming after football season when operations gained traction; profits arrived gradually as the business scaled and the online model proved itself against traditional bookmakers.
He Invented Online Sports Betting! Jay Cohen Talks Prison, Big Bets & More!
Q: You were a nuclear engineer grad from Berkeley and then trading options—how did you end up running one of the first online sportsbooks?
Cohen explains that his background in options trading trained him to think in market-making terms, and after partnering with Steve Schillinger he saw an opportunity to transfer that mindset to betting markets online, leveraging early online infrastructure and the potential to trade in and out of bets.
Bookie for Ohtani's Interpreter Interview - Mathew Bowyer
Q: How did the Ohtani interpreter situation begin, and how did Bowyer get involved with the interpreter's account?
Bowyer explains that a friend introduced him to Ippei through baseball connections; Ippei started with a small credit line that ballooned as bets grew, eventually reaching tens of millions, with Bowyer providing credit and services without initial concern for the person's identity.
NCAA Tournament Bets, Potential Cinderellas & the Mob in Las Vegas | ALAN BOSTON & KRACKMAN
Q: What's your take on public injury reports' value for line building?
They're generally useful; he notes that in-season injury details matter more late in the year and acknowledges the time cost of staying updated, but emphasizes that injuries can be less consequential in certain conference tournaments.
NCAA Tournament Bets, Potential Cinderellas & the Mob in Las Vegas | ALAN BOSTON & KRACKMAN
Q: Why don't you focus on betting totals in college basketball as much as you do for spread lines?
Alan explains that his instinct came from watching games and feeling the spreads, not from a totals framework; he believes totals are more math-intensive and less aligned with his native strengths and habits built around point spreads.
