Interesting story.

Statistically it kinda seems like he had to be cheating in some way. It wasn't a quick hit and run; he played this -ve game for tons of hands from the sounds of things. The odds should have buried him.

But then you think, the dude has won a lot of money at poker. Multi-millions. Why would he be bothered setting something like that up?

But then you think, well, dude is a gambler who routinely plays -ve casino games - maybe his finances are in shambles like a whole crapload of people who routinely plays shitty casino games.



It's not impossible to get that lucky but highly improbable. But who knows?

Plenty of people go on highly improbable runs at casinos. That's why they exist.

That casino should be carbombed. You can't just refuse to pay people. Fucking scumbags.
