this is why dwan and antonius are better gamblers overall. They don't play -EV games.

OP why you are so suprised?
Have you looked that documentary "1 day with Ivey"?
Its standard day in work for him.In that documentary he traveled around the casinos and stuff and at one point he just go to casino and bought in with 1 miljon dollars to craps table.He was down 800k there and ended up losing 200k.

I guess thats just another day for him.
No idea how deep the guys wallet is.

At the end of the video, he says that what he does isn't gambling, it's poker, its like a job. That's definitely true. But I was thinking about the craps, which most certainly is gambling--the worst kind where you are guaranteed -EV at all times--and what denial he is in.

Um, I think an 8-figure monthly income (or whatever, I'm pretty sure it's 8 figures though) can help him survive these ******ed pit sessions.

Nah, your post wasn't worthless. Back in the day, NVG-tards would eat up any post about someone's degen behavior. Times have changed though and these idiots now want pics or a corpse.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

from what i read/saw on espn prior to his november 9 appearance, he seems to be a very smart craps player. only bets the pass line and come with full odds every time for max degen action with minimum house edge. he would never buy or place a number because its a sucker bet... and ivey aint no sucker.

his base bet seems to be 10K, so with 3x 4x 5x odds, his bets will range from 40K to 60K depending on the number. of course, he only pays a house edge of 1.41% on the initial 10K, which means $141.00 sklanskybux for the casino every time he makes a bet. these are mere antes for ivey imo
