who the **** is bill perkins?

The dude in the vid two posts above yours.

I wonder if Antonio was going to be friends with Perkins if the latter was 1/2 grinder and not a millionaire.

Goes both ways though, Would Perkins be friends with Antonio if he was a nobody? The answer is neither would be friends with each other if one or the other wasn't successful, and there is nothing wrong with that.

You are basically right but Antonio is almost nobody outside the poker world while Perkins is a respected businessman as far as I am concerned.Ivey,for example,is famous also outdide the poker world so that would be more reasonable friendship.I think that Antonio can get 100 times more 'value' from this friendship though.I am not saying anything against their friendship,just writing my opinion

Interesting perspective of who should and should not be friends based on fame and fortune.HMMMM....

Call me crazy, but maybe they are friends because they get on well, and enjoy each other's company.

Ur crazy
It's all a scam

Props to "vlad" for getting to the bottom of this one

No, he's not.

So, time's up, assume Dan shipped it.
What have been reactions from BP / Dan so far?

Looks like a giant ****ing PR stunt...just like everything Dan related. Giant attention whore scammer. It runs in the family

Why else would Perkin's be so eager to lose considering Dan cheated? He ain't paying that's why.

Yeah, I mean, what are the chances that no money was won or lost and this was all about publicity?

"Social media personality" is a job that makes millions for some people. And every hater makes them a little bit more..

In the end it doesn't even matter if BP pays or not. That's the entertainment industry.

Bovada shipped me the monies. Obvious from the beginning thats what was going to happen.

With the drafting known, no one would have bet against him. Pretty soft IMO.

i want that bike bet, along with the tat a rainbow on my neck bet, i can tat a rainbow on my ass, hands and feet aswell for another 300k

pm me bill

lol at thinking dan would suffer thru that misery just for the publicity and not collect.

The whole van thing looks like flat out cheating to me, so it seems rather silly that Perkins wouldn´t give a **** about this and write a cheque instantly. Then again, I have no clue whether Perkins is rich or super rich or not rich at all (I have seen him splash around with huge amouts of money in TV cash games, but let´s just say that many super whales in TV games, barring a few exceptions, turned out to be crooks one way or another). Judging from public sources, it doesn´t seem like he´s a billionaire or even remotely close to that, so him just pissing away $600k without even pretending to care doesn´t exactly make sense. As for the other party to the bet, we´re talking about Dan "I´m crazy rich but please don´t ask where my money is coming from" Bilzerian. So there you have it, two massive attention whores with somewhat murky backgrounds. Makes you wonder about a thing or two, but hey, what do I know.

You didn't even bother googling Bill Perkins before you made this post, did you?

Probably not a billionare but remove a digit and I think you're damn close to the truth

Ironic that you start out by saying you have no clue but then end on a very precise conclusion based on basically nothing at all. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but your progression in this post is problematic to say the least given it's based on nothing but anecdotes/gut feelings.

not for nothing, but if you've made a fortune trading stocks and have a net worth north of even 50M, a 600k swing is laughable. given what we know about perkins, he is likely to have swings of that size or bigger on a daily basis.

What is Google.

Perkins might want to wake up and realize all these HS poker pros are just befriending him to get his money from ridiculous bets and keep him losing his money in the high rollers and cash games.

Think of it this way Perky, if you went broke tomorrow none of those HS guys would give a **** about hanging with you anymore, yes even Antonio who spotted you as a mark from the beginning
