I was just listening to white owls new mixtape and the rapper 50 cent mentioned how he won half a million on the last floyd fight.
If im not mistaken he prolly had to lay near a million to win that?
fuckin crazy shit

biggest gambler ever that ive known

guy bet 125k a box and played all the boxes at blackjack in vegas hand after hand.

he raced very successful horses but never bet on them saying that they couldnt handle my action.

he died a few years ago now - he was a very famous man (he was a spitfire pilot in WW2, was dropped behind enemy lines to retrieve info and submarined out and made his fortune in planes actually after the war)

I have taken $100 K first half wagers for a book I used to work at.

yeah to think that you would have enough disposable income to drop 125k a box in blackjack

fuckin awesome

We had Roenick bet 200k straight and 80+ reverses for 5k a pop once, for a total of over 1 million if we had lost every single game.
