How much larger would your bet size

gynecologist · Mar 26, 2007

be if you attained millions of dollars?

Would you still wager? and if so
how much would you risk on a regular basis?

Illini · Mar 26, 2007

1 million after tax dollars to my name? nickel bets
20 million in assets? dime bets

Journeyman · Mar 26, 2007

I doubt I'd bet at all.

WVU · Mar 26, 2007

if I felt I had an advantage then very big. If I didn't then small if at all

At least you have more sense then Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, and Phil Mickelson to name a few. :lol:

I would bet within my means. If I were a millionare than of course I could bet more and would bet more. I would probably do more on the investing side rather than sportsbetting though.

Why invest? you have a proven craps strat. Rape the casinos and be merry

You should see Oscar De la Hoya's dad at the race track.. Guy loses left and right but when you have an unlimited income it's all good..

I'd put 50% into real estate, 25% into derivatives, and 25% into sports. I'd bet $1000-5000/game.

Anyone got an extra million sitting around?

I'd still wager....I like the challenge of beating the man/book....and obviously I'd wager higher amounts.

What's so funny?

bigbet1234 · Mar 26, 2007

You were betting everything you had in Vegas whe I visited you. You weren't betting 1%

This thread reminded me of this cooky song I heard last week, not sure if it was new or old...

They kept repeating the line "If I had a million dollars' it was rather comical.

bigbet1234 · Mar 26, 2007

I know the song, I llike the song actually

Saw Dennis Rodman at the windows a few years back at Del Mar. He didn't have a clue what he was betting on but needed the action badly. Almost didn't recognize him as he wasn't wearing all his body piercing jewelry.

It was actually kind of catchy...I was cracking up half way thru it. :aktion033

Any idea if it's new and who it's by?

You gave me $100 to play with and said you'd eat it if I lost it. Turned it into 500, gave you your $100 back, then blew the rest on strippers. You must have been more drunk than me.

Trust me, if I had millions of dollars, I would not be in the sportsbetting business. I would do it for fun, just like I do now. I gave up on wanting to be a pro sportsbettor many moons ago. Almost nobody can do that, so why bother trying? 1% of my bankroll on a game would be insane, for those kind of dollars.

He probably cashed the jewelry in, i remember years ago in Vegas i used to bump into him and all the guy would do is lose and get drunk out of his mind the grinding process is probably near the end.
