that is not the point.
why would ivey use his good name at the B just to make a bet for some other dude.
even if ivey is shaving 5 points of juice off of the top, that is only 100k.
that doesnt seem worth it.
the only scenario that makes sense it that he took a bath on the craps table for xxx$$$, and he knew that the B wouldn't care if he was making the bet for someone else or not.
