    wow $51 mil on a single soccer bet?
    The Las Vegas Review-Journal is Nevada's most trusted source for local news, Las Vegas sports, business news, gaming news, entertainment news and more.


    "Last month, the South China Post in Hong Kong reported that police broke up an illegal betting ring at a Macau hotel involving roughly $645 million in wagers on the World Cup, including a single wager of $51.5 million. The hotel was not named in news reports."

    man some people have so much money they don't know what to do with them.

                    Pro leagues in this country must flip out that they can't get a cut of this like they do in Vegas. That is why Jersey can't get sports gambling. As soon as they accept ponying up to the extortion of these leagues they will never have it.

                          no clue they didn't say. but my assumption would be that the guy lost the 51 mil and ratted on the illegal book.

                              honestly i'm not sure if i would gamble if i had 51 million.

                              i'd be too busy chasing tail.

                                          I booked this bet.

                                          Guy won...but I stiffed the fukk.

                                          Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson.

                                              It's the internet, pal. We can all be whoever we want to be.

                                              And FYI....Paul is my nickname. Pyong is my Christian name.
