Richard Saber

Born in Steubenville, Ohio, one of the nation's premier gambling centers, Richard Saber began his betting career at the tender age of 12. One of his fondest childhood memories is making the 21 miles trek with his father to Waterford Park to watch the ponies run.

Outside of Las Vegas, Richard is not a household name. But inside Las Vegas he picks the most winners and the biggest winners.

He has won HUNDREDS of horse handicapping contests in Las Vegas. Here - just to name a few: Bally's, Palace Station, Coast Pick 5, Stardust, Mandalay Quinella, Mirage, Golden Nugget., and Sam's Town!

Richard Saber was born in one of the gambling capitals of the United States -- Steubenville, Ohio -- which is located on the Ohio River just 39 miles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In the 40's and 50's and 60's when the steel mills where going great, Steubenville had at least a dozen high end gambling stores in the city and people would drive in from the surrounding areas to bet sports, horses and play some dice or bet a number. Saber made his first bet as a 12-year-old; it was a four-team baseball parlay. He started going to the racetrack at about the same time with his father, who traveled the 21 miles to Waterford Park every night that the ponies were running.

Saber ventured to Las Vegas at age 29, back in 1977, since some friends wanted to open a sports service and they needed someone to run it. He took on that job with Westco Sports Group Inc. They also put out a weekly newsletter with college and pro football selections called Las Vegas Best. He left that position in 1980 to take a job at the Stardust race and sports book, where he became odds maker and sports book manager until 2000 -- when he went to work at the Excalibur race and sports book. He also opened the Luxor race and sports book. Saber has booked some of the smartest bettors in Vegas in his 20 years as a bookmaker. Now he is going up against them.

Johnny Avello, headman at Wynn's Las Vegas, calls him..."Vegas' best kept secret."
Mark Dufty of Jerry's Nugget, calls Richard -- "Vegas' own big frog in a little puddle"
Jimmy Vaccaro, Dean of Vegas oddsmakers, calls him... "Vegas' biggest Light Under a Bushel"
