Not sure about the worldwide claim, there are plenty of guys/groups that will never be made public because there is just too much money in this. But yeah lol at people laughing, he aint breaking a sweat over a $2mil+ loss on a game, and that's assuming they/he actually lost money *(Last part of comment will wreck 99% of NVGs brains!).

The 2 million was probably his tax return check.

about 12 hours ago from web

Daniel Negreanu
Usually I fire a decent sized bet on SuperBowl but it was last minute so I bet small. 5k on the over and 5k on NO.
about 9 hours ago from UberTwitter

Whether this is a coincidence or not, Negreanu loves bashing Hellmuth.
This and the story don't add up either, Ivey is tight with both Daniel and E-dog and if he had good info from BW to take the colts, then they prob would have known and not bet NO. Even more likely that this story was either a fake leak to get the followers to bet Indy or just an untrue rumour.
