The Spirit of
The Superstars
In 1973, ABC Sports launched one of the most compelling concepts in television history: The Superstars. Elite professional athletes were pulled out of their own sport and made to compete against each other across a range of other disciplines. The one rule: you cannot enter your own sport.
The show ran for over a decade and became a cultural phenomenon. It answered a question fans had always asked: who is the greatest all-around athlete? Not the best quarterback. Not the best sprinter. The best competitor — period.
The World's Greatest Gambler is built on that same idea, applied to the world of gambling. Strip away the specialist. Force the poker pro to the sportsbook. Send the card counter to the DFS room. Put the daily fantasy wizard at the backgammon board. Who survives? Who thrives? Who is the greatest all-around gambler in the world?
"Who is the greatest all-around athlete?" — The Superstars asked it in 1973. We're asking the same question about gamblers, fifty years later.
The spirit of cross-discipline competition — born on ABC in 1973, reborn in Las Vegas today.
