    these ppl think very differently. they might have known the game was going to be close and wanted the rush. after all missouri was VERY undersized in this game.

    either way i believe this wager was placed and i would figure a very elite 1%er (maybe a 5%er) placed this wager. of course it is illegal for these type of ppl to even use these books but the regular laws dont apply to them in the least

    -4500 was everywhere to be had all day
    bronxer the story is not bullsh*t at all

    everything I posted was 100% verbatim

    sure i don't know for a 100% fact the guy wasn't lying to me, but he had absolutely no reason to lie to me, it was just a chat over IM between us, he had zero reason to make something up, i just thought i was share the chat because i thought it was interesting

    i was as shocked to hear about the 50K bet as everyone else

    I believe it. I parlayed Missouri ML -10000, Kansas ML and Mich St ML for $5000. Sounds crazy, but I have have been making a lot with these types of bets. She probably viewed it more as a guaranteed $500, rather than only $500 and that is more than most clowns in this forum ever profit in one day. South Florida ML just recovered most of my funds.

    -10,000 or more would have been considered a "bad line" per every books "bad line" rules that follow the market...so i dont know how much i believe the story you were told loshy...

    I bet 32,600 to win 815 a few weeks back. I thought it was good value. I didn't lose though.

    I have no problem believing someone would make such a bet. The only weird part is that they got such horrible odds (compared to what was available). So it was probably an inexperienced gambler or desperate degenerate with only 1 out.

    Whether or not this story is real, which does not matter at all (I'm sure even more money has been risked for a small amount- though it is maniacal- but isn't gambling in general crazy to some extent?), I think your perception of the situation is an interesting one. Yes, the people in the world of high finance do not suffer consequences for "no-no trading activity," except for a few SEC scapegoats here and there to make it look like they are doing something, and yes the people who crush it, insider trade (this is probably so abundant).

    At 10,000 to 1 or 5,000 to 1 whatever the favorite amount was, there is always the chance for it to backfire. Even the Wall St. big wigs go bust on a big play for a small gain from time to time. But if they wanted a rush, why not go heli-skiing, rock climbing, etc. You could get off with that for 45,000-40,000 less.

    So the story is not important to me per se, whether it happened or not, but the moral is a good one next time I think about clicking a 10,000 to 1 or 5,000 favorite into a parlay. There isn't any fking value. And even if there were, and it were straight bets, is this "person" going to ride out the variance by plugging away at another 9,999 50k flats to try and get the ship right? Fk that. This better would have to risk 5 mil once, or 50k a hundred times without a loss, to get that 50k back at -10000.

    CarpeDime = Loshak?

    Whoever this is, how can you be so naive?

    I guess the guy at the sportsbook has a good laugh with his colleagues after he gets off the phone with you as to how gullible you are.

    look man you are the naive one

    this guy is a good long-time friend of mine, he's not looking to impress me in any way, and it wasn't a phone call! we were just chatting over IM throughout the day about how things were going over there. And it was just a private IM between the two of us, I didn't tell him I was going to report the info or anything like that. I just decided to post it cause I thought it was interesting

    its just a good friend of mine high up at a big book, people bet 50K all the time, it's just interesting that it was at such huge and bad odds on a game like that, and then it happened to be on that game that actually lost

    All of the Caesars properties in state of Nevada lost around 600k combined on Friday and were down again going into late games last night. Duke, St. Mary, Memphis, ND were all big public late games, so I'm sure they made money yesterday.

    Wynn was down a decent chunk Thurs and did well yesterday.
