    Phil Ivy Lost 2 Million???
    Phil Ivey Loses $2 Million on Super Bowl




    Reports were surfacing on Monday that poker pro Phil Ivey lost a whopping $2 million betting on Sunday's Super Bowl between the Saints and Colts. Gambling911.com doesn't expect to see Ivey celebrating Mardi Gras any time soon.
    The Las Vegas Review-Journal's Matt Youmans reported over the weekend that Ivey collaborated with legendary Las Vegas sports gambler Billy Walters to place a $2 million money line bet on the Colts.
    "Wiseguy" action at Bookmaker.com suggested that professional sports syndicates were overwhelmingly supporting the Saints however.
    MGM Mirage sports book director Jay Rood did not get into specifics about the reported Ivey bet but said, "We took a seven-figure bet on the Colts money line."
    Sources also report Adam Meyer, a sports gambler from South Florida, has been approved for a $1 million bet at M Resort. Meyer did not confirm the amount.
    "I'm going to be making a substantial wager," Meyer said. "I've only done one-third of the amount so far on the Colts on the money line."

                  Not so sure I'd call it a gambling problem. He may have some hole is his gambling game, but he makes money off of gambling of course..

                      Espn the Mag followed Ivy around for an article a few months ago. He lost a million in one night and he apparently seemed completely unaffected by.

                          In that espn the mag article, they showed him in his office at home. He had 5 monitors going playing high stakes online poker on each. He will play online all day and make ridiculous money. When you earn your money like that, i imagine holds a little less value to you then if you work your ass of for it. 2 million is still 2 million though.

                                      Phil Mickelson cashed a futures win on the Ravens a few years back that paid him a few hundred grand.

                                      I doubt Ivey would push that kind of money on Indy, but you never know.

                                        syndicates have been going through big names for years. I wouldn't be surprised if Ivey only had less then 100k in that 2mil.

                                                  Have you ever seen the way he gambles..youtube him. He just walks into craps and drops hundreds of g's sometimes winning, sometimes losing. Hes a beast.

                                                    just from playing, it's well known he owns part of the site

He will play online all day and make ridiculous money. When you earn your money like that, i imagine holds a little less value to you then if you work your ass of for it. 2 million is still 2 million though.
                                                        E:60 did a piece on him, VERY GOOD. Won like a million playing craps, 30 min. Crazy lifestyle he leads, this won't affect him much.
