An all-around sports fan, Phil Mickelson goes out on a limb on his Web site during the NFL season, making weekly picks. Last August he put his money where his mouth was. He bet $20,000 in Las Vegas on the Baltimore Ravens to win Super Bowl XXXV, at 22-to-1 odds.

"I cashed the ticket a few weeks ago, flew up on a private jet and pulled an all-nighter with my wife, my parents and my in-laws," says Mickelson, who let about 30 family members and friends in on the bet. "I put the money in a big sack, all in large bills, and buckled it into its own seat for the ride home. I'd wanted to give everybody cash, but I'm realizing now that I can't do that because of the tax implications. I've got to write checks for documentation."

He bet before the season at 22-1 on 20k.

Nice little payout.

Id guess on a bet that big he could probably get them to cut the juice in half. Im surprised he cant get that bet with some other HS poker players but it is a huge bet.

You do realize that home ownership and transactions and details on our public record in Clark County. According to those records Phil and Luciatta paid $2.098 million for their house in March 2004. According to one source I saw when I did the search, in terms of property taxes paid per year for residential houses , it is ranked #29.

Oh and the house is 6700 sq ft on a 16000 sqft lot.

ivey is betting on steelers because if u listened it said they liked his side. and anyone who follows betting knows that the majoirty of money is on the cardnials.so if he was betting on the cardinals they wouldnt like his side and probally wouldnt let him bet a mill in his action

Cousin KAP · 02-01-2009, 05:49 PM
