The over-the-top home offices of full-time sports bettors

It was a gamble in its own right for Kenneth Huber to try to mount a 165-inch TV in his basement office. It’s actually a three-by-three grid of 55-inch 4K computer monitors, and the first time Huber tried to install them on a $1,500 stand in his suburban Philadelphia home, all nine of the heavy screens cracked. Fortunately, the retailer sent him replacements, and this time he hedged his bet by supplementing the stand with large spacer brackets.

Huber works with betting advice company inplayLIVE and wagers on the NFL, NBA, NHL and college basketball. His desk is about six feet from this wall of screens, on which he can view games in any number of configurations: one game across all of them, one game on top and three across the bottom or as many as 36 games, with four on each monitor.
