Largest Action ever n Vegas........

What is the largest action u ever witnessed n Vegas??

 

Here is mine: Walking into MGM i said "man it's alot of people at that craps table". My partner who is probably 6'6 said thats roulette I said no way its too many people around cheering & stuff. As we get closer there is a dude, I'll never forget, mid 50's white guy, salt pepper hair, black t-shirt & jeans, solid gold presidential rolex no diamonds. This dude was playing roulette in the middle of everyone, but he had a special table roped off 2 himself. HE WAS BETTING 125,000 PER SPIN AT THE ROULETTE WHEEL. This what he was doing. There are 35 #s on the wheel, he was covering like 30 of the 35 #s in the field at like 4 grand per #. Each time he hits it pays 36 to 1 odds. Everytime he would win he would send out a round of patron & pinapple or cranberry for a crowd of like 150-200 people just standing in amazement. Im not gonna lie I stood about 7 or 8 minutes then left out of amazement & disgust that someone has the $ to bet like that & also I left to try to get me sum $$. I quickly won $2600 at another roulette table in the corner.  

--ok

maybe you should do some research before you fabricate a story... the wheel has 36 numbers, one zero or one plus two zeros, and the payout is 35-1

I am prutty sure this is a made up story or it is exaggerated.

YEARS AGO I WAS THERE ON BUSINESS AND WATCHED A OLDER MAN BET $44,000 ON nEBRASKA VS WVU IN I KICK OFF CLASSIC GAME.of course they took so much then moved the line.i think it started around -16 never saw how much as they closed the window off but Nebraska won big and beat any number.

 

never saw him collect but heard he had others betting at different books in towm at the same time.

 

was told he was a oil man from oklahoma and wager over 100 grand on that game that was before off shore books.

 

for me won 10 grand shooting crap once  and of course have lost that and lots more since then.

 

won a big ncaa bracket pool when syracuse won the ncaa for 7500

 

I have often seen velet ropes at the MGM for High rollers.  I don't know who it was or how much he was betting at a time but this dude had onside of the craps table to himself at a $25 minimum table.  I don't know what the max was but this guy was using $50,000 chips which had a bigger diameter than the smaller denominations.

 

Anyway little fuzzy on the details but the point was he was betting the don't pass line on one side and 20 something year olds were rolling points and making him lose.

 

You gotta like it when someone getting busted playing the don't pass line for big money.

I appreciate all the input (even the haters) but this is LAS VEGAS & the weekend of a big fight, Winky Wright v. Bernard Hopkins. So, there were several celebrities & whales n the building. Also, many people came 2 shake this guys hand. They looked like upper echelon casino execs, like Executive V.P. & such, not the normal pitbosses that walk the floor.

Is there seriously a hotel that lets you bet $125k on roulette spins? That seems rather high. And if that is the case, with a bankroll like that, you can just use a simple Martingale method on black and red and you'd eventually always win, as long as they let you bet that much.

U can bet whatever u want n anything. Kerry Packer used 2 bet one MILLION per hand Baccarat playin 3hands at a time...

I know for a fact you can't just bet whatever you want at anytime. So you are saying MGM Grand lets you bet $125k on any spin at a Roulette table?

Yes. Of course someone in his position is a Whale & has preferred status. & keep in mind that they werent really on the hook for that much when u consider what is was doin because he had to lose 29 of his 30 bets. (He wasnt placing 125 on one #, he had all that in play every hand though.

So, that little sign that has the table minimum and table maximum is just bullshit to fuck with you?  Hmmmm...

I know the pit boss would be required to raise the maximum a bit but something like 125k per spin I imagine would need higher clearance.

Henry-Lilly, I have been on tables 25-1500 & I HAVE RAISED THE LIMIT BEFORE. When I won my largest roulette ever for $2500, I raised the bet. It took all of 20 seconds for the pit boss to approve it. Although he did watch closely. And of course that whale guy I saw, had high clearance & preferences. For example, he's a WHALE but likes playing in PUBLIC, & not in an ultra high roller area. He probably got $$ to come to the casino & a "kickback" cuz as much as he was betting there are for sure only a couple hundred of him IN THE WORLD.
