Recalibrate

De: Mathew Bowyer

Narrado por: Mathew Bowyer

He was one of the biggest bookmakers in America—until federal agents knocked on his door.

Mathew Bowyer lived in a world most people only see in movies—whispered wagers, private jets, and high-stakes deals sealed behind velvet ropes. He wasn’t just a top bookmaker; he was a whale—the kind of gambler who bet millions on a single hand, a single spin, a single game.

• His clients? Athletes, celebrities, tech titans, and hedge fund kings.
• His network? Global.
• His operation? Moved hundreds of millions of dollars through Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, the Bahamas, Panama, and beyond.

But Mathew wasn’t born into wealth or privilege. With no college degree, he hustled his way up—first as a licensed commodities broker, then as a fearless risk-taker who earned millions with pure grit and instinct. Casino hosts around the world courted him, offering luxury penthouse suites, private chefs, and anything to keep him at their tables.

His wins were legendary.

So were his losses.

Then came the crash.

Recalibrate is a raw, high-stakes memoir about the rise and reckoning of a man who built an empire on risk—and faced the ultimate test when the government came knocking. As federal prosecution closed in, Mathew placed the biggest bet of his life: Could he rebuild not just his business, but his identity?

If you like memoirs about resilience, redemption, and true crime that reads like a thriller, you’ll be hooked from minute one.

Incredible entertaining story plus a real motivation

I bought this book as I was intrigued with the story of Matt Bowyer as the biggest bookmaker in America. I was not expecting this book to also be a great motivational tool and really just inspiring. This book quickly became one of my favorites and will be a book you often read again for inspiration. Incredible story, extremely entertaining and really inspiring.

Story was great! Podcast at end of Chapters isn’t!

Story was great but adding the podcast into the book after EVERY chapter is not my cup of tea. I get if people like that but I don’t at all. It should have added the podcast in the epilogue or something. I’m not saying it’s not interesting it’s just I’d rather listen to the book and podcast separately. Great story though it was very entertaining! When he said “ I’d be at risk of being in noncompliance with the court” really hit home for me because I was on the same type of probation.
