Yes, Phil has hundreds of thousands in action almost daily. He is a special case though. He might not be the BIGGEST gambler in the world, but he is the biggest REGULAR gambler in the world. Phil bets at Bellagio and M. Not sure what he bet last year on the SB, but I know the year before he had 1.1 million on Arizona and covered.

That video of Phil in the back room at a casino playing craps a million a roll was awesome.

Try the MIRAGE.  Get in early and tell them the amount you are looking at, and they will shhot you an amount they will take.  I'll say they take at least 100K of it.

Ivey and Walters were supposed to bet 1 mil on Colts. Walters tells 60 minutes he won 3 mil on saints. Pathological liar. Most of his bets in vegas are done by runners, making limit bets at same time. Usually to bet 100,000 + bets you must be a huge player in pit (whale). Mayweather made huge bets at coast casinos. (He is known in industry as a square).The pro poker players make the books nervous. They have excellent info from guys like Alan Boston etc.

Most runners get around a hundred day. Pay their own gas and car expenses. Dangerous job. Lots of robberies.

YES YOU can but i wouldnt do it at one book

you will raise a red falg and move lines a ton

bring tons of friends with you and get the bets down all at the same time

so that the books dont notify each other when they can hit with a 10 k wager  1 minute after the other got it

thats how the players operate out there they have runners to get thier wagers down all at once in 3000 increments

or 2000 increments they apy thes guys so much per day to place wagers for them and no extra money if they win

it's reall a preciosn drill team operating out there

unfortuantely vegas knows the runners that are used and can tell when they are one side

so they have to disguise them selves or get others to place the wagers for thier guy

at the line specifed by thier guy once the line moves off the number they want NO BET goes down

He also gets most of his plays from a local service

In both cases they were fed alcohol or drugs to keep them incoherent as they pissed away millions of dollars. Does that sound like Phil Ivey to you?

You expect reality at covers? 

I have learned that anytime you hear the term "red flag" in someones post, it is an absolute sure sign that they have 100% no idea what they are talking about.

I was not referring to Ivey directly, the comment was "he has more money that can ever be gambled away". I have no personal connection to Ivey, I just admire him as the best player of our time.
Saying that someone has too much money to ever go broke though is incorrect.
