Blair Hull was known as the first “BP” or “Big Player”.\u00a0 Ken Uston wrote a book called, “The Big Player” after he replaced Blair in that role.\u00a0 Taking what he learned from counting cards Blair moved to a much bigger casino with higher stakes, the options exchange.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We discuss three big gambles in Blair’s life.\u00a0 In 1987 the markets were all crashing, and Blair walked onto the exchange floor saying to himself that his job was to make a price on both buy or sell.\u00a0 There were only people wanting to sell, and like it or not he had to give them a price, and buy what they were unloading. Second we talk about his decision to run for US Senate, and was beat in the primary by a young organizer named Barak Obama.\u00a0 Last we talk about how Blair came out of retirement when he saw that people were buying options as if they were lottery tickets.<\/p>\n
