And while that sounds like a life-changing dollar amount for most of us, it’s fairly small potatoes for “Vegas” Dave. He said he recently was banned from betting at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook in part because his futures wagers the past few years have been too spot-on.
“Three years ago, I had the Ravens to win the Super Bowl – $8,000 to win $200,000,” he said. “The following year, I had the Red Sox – $30,000 to win $340,000. And then I had the Rangers, when they were in last place, to win the (AL) West (this year), and I put $80,000 to win $580,000.
“So I had $580,000 two weeks ago, and that was my biggest payout, and then I had the Royals at $2.5 million two weeks later. I’m pretty disappointed that they won’t take my bets anymore. They just cut me off.”

Dave Oancea also claims on his website that his MLB system is 125-3 showing winning tickets where he wagered amounts of over $50,000 on straight bets at the Westgate on regular season MLB games. I didn't even know you could bet that much on regular season MLB games in one shot at the Westgate. To be more specific he wagered $66,000 to win $57,000 at -115 on a Rockies/Phillies game.

I don't believe that a mega sportsbook like the Westgate would ban him for a number of nice hits......I would think they would exploit the fact he played and won there in an efforts to get other big players to wager there......to the effect of using him as a spokesperson.....

If it was a chase system he might have lost money going 125-3

i have a feeling the guy scalps everything... why else would you hock $10 t-shirts and pimp the heck out of yourself everywhere you can, if you just won $2.5 million?

he past posts every winning pick and says it's because he doesn't want to make the guys paying $25/pick mad

I believe him as much as I believe Steve Stevens of VIP Sports has a "72% winning documented record"

A gambler who splashes big money around is a “whale,” someone like Dave Oancea, a SuperContest competitor who goes by the name Vegas Dave. Oancea, who is 37, says he drives a Ferrari and bets up to $100,000 per week; after spending more than $1 million for bottle service at nightclubs over a couple of years, he was honored by a local trade group as the 2013 Las Vegas Socialite of the Year. When I met up with Oancea at the Las Vegas Hotel in mid-December, he had just returned from a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “It was my birthday, and I flew 10 waitresses down there with me to celebrate,” he said. He tweeted pictures of himself amid lapping surf, buxom women in bikinis and a bottle of vodka the size of a small child. “It was crazy,” he said.

sounds right

how can someone waste a million bucks on booze at a casino where he could drink all day for free, and claim they're sharp

I don't remember who, but a few posters knew him. From Michigan and had a rich dad was the story I think...
