The Difference Between Las Vegas and Washington D.C.
By Wayne Allyn Root, 2008 Libertarian Vice Presidential Nominee
I am probably the
only politician in America whose day job is Las Vegas oddsmaker. I’ve learned
many valuable lessons from sports and sports betting. On Sunday I made a
fortune for thousands of my clients by picking the New Orleans Saints’ Super
Bowl upset. Obama, Reid and Pelosi might snicker, but they obviously don’t
understand the difference between Vegas and Washington D.C. You know w

Randy White, College Football & NFL Hall of Fame Super Bowl MVP 9-time NFL All Pro Dallas Cowboy Ring of Honor member College All-American, Winner of Outland & Lombardi Trophies THE W.A.R. STORY: Wayne Allyn Root is quite simply the most honored sports oddsmaker and prognosticator in the world. He is the brand name of sports gaming- dubbed by the national media as “King of Vegas,” “The Face of Las Vegas Gambling,” “America's Oddsmaker,” and “The Prince of Prognosticators.” His rags-to-riches story is truly remarkable. Born a S.O.B. (son of a butcher), Wayne has morphed into high profile CEO, entrepreneur, best-selling author, TV celebrity and nationally recognized politician. Wayne is living proof that the American Dream is alive and well. Wayne's childhood dream was to become the Jimmy "The Greek" of his generation. Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder was the legendary sports handicapper who predicted football winners for CBS television during the decades of the 70's and 80's. At the age of 16, the New York media dubbed Wayne "the next Jimmy The Greek" and "the Betting Whizkid." By the time Wayne was 27, he was one of the youngest anchormen and hosts on American TV, co-hosting with his TV partner Jimmy "The Greek" on Financial News Network (now CNBC). Wayne went on to host many television shows for FNN Sports such as “Who Beat the Spead?” “The FNN Zone,” “Fantasy Football Weekly,” “The Fan Speaks Out,” and “Huddle Up.” He also anchored their all-day sports news programming. Wayne has now built a sports prognosticating empire in the Nevada desert that far surpasses anything Jimmy "The Greek" ever imagined. It is estimated that over a billion dollars is wagered on Wayne's sports handicapping advice annually. This business mogul and entrepreneur extraordinaire has been profiled by CNBC, the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Millionaire, Time magazine, CNN/Money, The Robb Report, Success, Entrepreneur, Equities and EMMY magazine (among many others). He has been a guest on most every sports TV and radio talk show in America. His frequent media appearances have included Fox News Channel, Fox Business, Fox Sports, CNBC, CNBC Europe, CTV (Canada's Business News Network), ESPN, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and Spike TV. Wayne is the creator of www.WinningEDGE.com and www.VegasWINNERS.com, two of the most popular sports handicapping sites on the Internet. He is the author of 7 books- including an Amazon.com Personal Finance #1 Best-Seller. Wayne's books include “ROOT on Risk: Betting to Win on Sports,” “The Zen of Gambling” and “The King of Vegas' Guide to Gambling.” Wayne has served as Creator, Host and Executive Producer of many national television shows over the past decade, including “King of Vegas” on Spike TV- a nationwide talent competition to crown the greatest casino gambler in America (with winner earned a cool million dollars winner-take-all). “King of Vegas" hit the magical TV ratings number of over one million viewers for an episode in 2006. But Wayne is best known as host of “Wayne Allyn Root's WinningEDGE”- America's premiere football handicapping pregame show. “WinningEDGE” aired over the years on many of the biggest cable networks in America including FOX Sports, Comcast Sports, Superstation WGN, Spike TV and Discovery Channel. On August 15th, 2006 Wayne received the honor of a lifetime- for his lifetime of success promoting Las Vegas on television, radio and in books, Wayne was honored with induction into the “LAS VEGAS WALK OF STARS” (a division of the “Motion Picture Hall of Fame”). Wayne's star is enshrined in front of New York New York. He joins only 30 Vegas legends ever honored with a star- including Elvis, Wayne Newton, Liberace, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and Siegfried & Roy. Wayne is the youngest recipient ever. Wayne's star is inscribed “MOTION PICTURE HALL OF FAME: In tribute to Wayne Allyn Root for his lifetime achievement and contribution to the world prominence of Las Vegas 8-15-2006.” |
