Roxborough is credited with introducing mathematical formulas and computer models to the multi-billion dollar sports wagering industry. The Las Vegas Review-Journal listed Roxborough number two in its list of the most influential people in sports of the 20th century. He served as a director from the company"s inception until March 11, 1998.
The company was subsequently purchased by United Kingdom Bookmakers William Hill Public Limited Company. Roxborough and Mike Rhoden co-authored “Sports Book Management: A Guide to the Legal Bookmaker”, originally published in 1988 and updated in 1991 and 1998 (Online Computer Library Center 40281354).
The 112 page book was a text for the college course Race and Sports Book Management that Roxborough taught at the College of Southern Nevada (formerly Clark County Community College) as part of the Casino Management curriculum. The novel Gambling on Magic by Christopher G. Moore (Heaven Lake Press) was loosely based on Roxborough"s life.
