Phil Ivey wins 7.3m GBP in London, casino refuses to pay. Ivey sues. Loses Case. Appeals. Loses - Page 8 - Poker News

I lol at all the people calling Ivey a degen.

17m tourney winnings,

20m online cash game winnings

always ahead in the pits

not counting his live cash winnings

How do you call this man a degen when he completely crushes all forms of gambling ?

He's not always ahead in the pits; that's a statistical impossibility long term.

People are calling him a degen because he crushes skill games like poker, and dumps money into inherently -EV pit games.

He's still a boss tho.

I just heard about it in the new, in an Israeli radio station...
Might be this story becoming big (or perhaps the editor is a poker fan).

So stupid of them to pull this if true.

"ZOMG we got beat for $10 million US in a pit game! Something must be wrong!"

How in the sam hell do you cheat at baccarat when you don't even touch the cards and you choose player or banker previous to the cards being dealt?

Your 80 year reputation is worth more than $10 million folks.

He beat you...straight up. Pay that man his money.

I don't always beat -EV games. But when I do, I usually have an asian hooker and a comped penthouse suite....and I beat the house edge for 10 million.

He is, the most baller man in the world.

I'm pretty pissed off he still has enough cash to be wiring $1.5 million of our money to play house edge games when we still haven't even ****ing been paid yet.

I'd like to hear about him playing $5 a hand and getting really pissed off when he loses and riding the bus home or something.

I like how when people win, the casino is quick to start investigations.. Wonder how easily they would let you start an investigation on their blackjack shuffle machines after a hefty loss.

Your man crush has you blinded to the fact that nobody crushes pit games. He hemorrhages money playing craps and baccarat and sports betting and all this other crap. People used to think he did it with poker winnings, but he's actually been doing it with our FTP deposits. And even though people know this now, they still dangle from his nuts and think he's a boss.

why let someone buy in for 1 mill pounds if your not going to pay out a hot streak. Seems pretty stupid.

Whether Ivey is aware of it or not, it might be +EV for him to play pit games in that by virtue of being in high roller sections of casinos and meeting whales, he gets into soft high stakes poker games.
