Ivey says he is trying to bet a million on the Super Bowl at the Bellagio but won't say what side has the money on. Seems like it could make for some interesting Tuesdays with Ivey either way.

People are always complaining that Bellagio won't take a couple of grand on a game

For someone who bets that big to pay 100k juice is plain stupid. I could get him on for alot less than 100k...Ivey either doesnt give a **** or is not as smart as i thought???

i think he has to put 1m on the game or it won't be entertaining for him to watch it

i'm naive at sports betting.

having said that, what kind of action would someone have to put on the big game to cause a .5 point shift in the line?

On the SB i think it would have to be far more than $1M. I'm just guessing though. It also depends on where the line currently is set. Moving from 4.5 to 5 or something isn't the same as moving from 2.5 to 3 for example.

I like how he scoffs at the idea of playing 1k/2k.
