For professional gambler Dave Oancea – he's known as Vegas Dave online – the Royals' first title since 1985 meant he made trips to a few Las Vegas casinos Monday and at the end of his road drove home with $2,457,200. We hope he brought a few bags to hold all that cash.In all Oancea made 26 individual future bets on the Royals this season totaling $100,000, starting with a $25,000 wager when the odds were 30 to 1 back in April. It was week one and they were 7-0, and everybody was on Detroit, but I knew Detroit had no bullpen,” he said. “And bullpen and pitching wins in baseball, so I knew Detroit would fall apart. And the odds were so big at (30-1) that if I didn’t make the playoffs, I could hedge and make money. ...“They made it Game 7 last year and they actually had upgrades this year, so I figured why couldn’t they do it again?”He had the opportunity to hedge his bet before the World Series to guarantee himself $750,000 by putting some money on the Mets, but he believed in the Royals at a time when many thought their playoff run in 2014 was a fluke. Why would that change when they were so close to winning the whole thing?Less than a week later, Kansas City rallied to win Game 5 in New York to clinch the championship and Vegas Dave could now go by a new moniker: Very Happy Dave.

Herky Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 someone claimed to have a 15 team, $0.50 parlay to win 200k on 5dimes this weekend. His final leg was Indy ML last night and sounded like he was broke, stupid, and both so he did not get to hedge off much. Posted on bet on reddit. He probably committed suicide last night.

Big Bear Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 so he was planning on hedging the 25,000 bet right away... but then didn't hedge $100,000 the rest of the way? i don't believe thatvery poorly written article. I am confused so the Royals were 30-1 odds after starting off 7-0 to start the season? I thought the Royals were around 12-1 at most shops before the season started... And after putting $25,000 down... on 30-1 odds how the fuck can you hedge on the Royals if they don't make the playoffs???? wtf??? how can you hedge a future like that??

Big Bear Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 i get the fact that the Tigers were not going to win the World Series with the deficiencies in their roster but to win a world series you gotta be better than 29 other teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
