Actor Ashton Kutcher says he made money between movies by working with the largest national sports-betting syndicate in America and placing bets on college football games. The 'Two and Half Men' star used his cover as a "dumb actor with a lot of money" to place bets for the sports syndicate, reported Femalefirst. "I actually used to be a front for the largest national sports-betting syndicate in America... In football, you're basically looking for numerical anomalies... "It's really complicated. You gotta know a lot of data points - how this team played on various surfaces, in different weather - a lot. But these guys could do it... So, generally these types of individuals aren't allowed to gamble, but they know how to handicap the house," he said.
