Bellagio Poker Cage robbed at gunpoint (a 2nd time on 3/15) - Page 8 - Poker News

dude you just might have the level of smarts required for this to be a good idea

for the vast majority of people 3 years in jail would be a life changingly terrible experience and wouldn't be worth it for anywhere near $133k a year - which is a BS figure anyway

did you think past the "easy" 3 years in jail? you've pretty much sacrificed the chance to make a decent living again. even if you could find a job or business you still owe the $400k. not exactly balla lifestyle

I love internet criminal mastermind theorists.

SEE, ALL YA GOTTA DO IS....

There are basically no countries from which an extradition of a known criminal cannot be effected, 'treaty' or not. The only exception to this are countries that are actively belligerent towards the US, but yeah, just fly into Iran, Cuba or North Korea with your stolen cash and 'deposit it in their banks' and dude, SO EASY...

Clueless dawg is clueless. Google "Swiss bank secrecy". You might find something about 1/1/17.

If anyone wants to do a prop bet I’ll stay in prison like conditions for 3 years. For $133000 a year. If I lose I’ll pay $50000

For $133000 a year, I could figure something out. In fact there’s someone in my thread who said he’d place bets for far less than what my buddy is going to pay me. So I could profit from the prop bet and make the difference between what my buddy pays me to make the bets and what I have to pay someone to make the bets.

If you're creative enough you can probably replicate the conditions of this bet with no prop needed.

Bellagio bandit's father is a judge so he probably got off easy. A normal person is doing hard time.

Define prison like conditions. Physical, or mental and physical?

Armed Robbery is considered a violent crime and in my state of Massachusetts any sentence over 2.5 years is in state prison.

You would most likely be caged with other violent offenders. No way 133k/year is worth it. You would be eaten alive. In poker terms, you would feel about as comfortable out of position against OTB.

pretty sick when "Bellagio Poker Room Robbed" has a containment thread.

also, what are these criminals thinking. Just rob the players and take their chips at the table. Then casino wont care.

Casino Security is basically just for show. Probably most of the guards don't even carry guns. Why risk a multi-million dollar lawsuit if a guest get hits in a shootout. Let the robber have his few thousand at most. Insurance probably pays for it anyway.
