With operations as large as they were at this point, it was becoming almost impossible for Shinehead to stay out of the spotlight. Wall to wall cash was constantly collecting in Shinehead’s fraternity house room. And when an all-out brawl between other fraternity houses trying to get in to one of Shinehead's VIP parties lead to a call into the office of the dean of Greek life, Shinehead knew that something had to be done. So he hid his empire in the basement of a apartment next to campus. Quiet, dark, no windows. It seemed the perfect place to keep a low profile. So low, in fact, that Shinehead’s new partner decided to lead them into the next phase of their operation: an all-out Vegas-style casino, they simply called, “The House." Shinehead went to school on a math scholarship. He graduated with a master’s degree in casino management.

We also speak with “The Professor,” a life-long friend of Shinehead’s whose attempt to become a bookie on his own university’s campus, went horribly wrong. We take a look into the darker side of the booking business, as well as the main reason how Shinehead was able to take over the gambling on so many other universities.

At this part in our story, the number of gamblers betting with Shinehead is growing week by week. It’s far more than Shinehead can handle himself. So in order to handle the other sides of the business, Shinehead had to find partners. One would be the face of the operation, responsible for recruiting new bettors, or finding bookies to turn into runners. The other would be the muscle- usually guys who wanted to work off a betting loss who’d go and collect for Shinehead from any deadbeats refusing to pay. But how does a straight-laced kid on a math scholarship even make it this far, to have to hire partners and contracted collectors, as a bookie? For Shinehead, it was all a calculated risk. And sometimes if you’re lucky, risk is rewarded.

We get into Shinehead’s expansion from betting internally with frat brothers to his lightbulb moment of discovering betting patterns with college kids, learning how to exploit them to make as much money as possible.
