Mikki posted a series of TikTok videos explaining how he ran up a few thousand dollars to millions at the baccarat table. The videos showed Venetian 100k chips. Whether he actually did run it up who knows, but it’s clear he likes to gamble in the pits.

It's definitely possible. Any pit gambler has a tiny chance of sun running for a prolonged period of time and turning a mole hill into a mountain of chips. And when you factor how many people sit down to gamble on any given day, a few of them are going to have crazy runs, even if the vast majority just end up going bust.

But if you accept that, I think it's the "professional gambler" stuff and people paying him a commission to gamble for them that people have the "issue" with.

People giving him a % to gamble for them at bac is crazy sh-t, he has no more of an edge than any other random person. And the stories about casinos not allowing him to play because he's too good, that's the part I have trouble believing. He sun-runs for a day, and they don't want him back

Yeah it's definitely the bit about others staking him (or anyone like him) that seems dodgy. Presumably if you hand over some cash the best case scenario is that it gets returned to you with profit. But if the gambler loses the money that is probably your risk and you might get less or zero back. Or they could just outright rip you off and just disappear with your money

Seems insane anyone would sign up to this!

Someone should call the number and see what the great deal is.

I'm not in USA so don't want to call the number but I had a look at the webform. They is no mention of the terms of the deal. Just that you can say how much you want to stake and in what game

Is there even a semi-serious discussion in here about the merits of someone looking for baccarat staking and whether or not this is anything other than some sort of ruse?

Spoiler:

Unless you don't believe in math or do believe in magic then baccarat staking is just not a thing.

I think everyone agrees it must be some sort of scam. Just curious as to the terms he offers and why anyone does it

giving money to people to gamble with is a bad investment. Warren Buffet would say no to this, pretty sure. But if some people bite and want to give MM money, then more power to him.

Very little footage of him actually playing.. all stories and pictures of money/chip. Wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t gamble much/at all of his own money and just projecting money/stories that may or may not be his or true to try to get people to give him money.

He was so sick about punting off 170 of his 250k profits hard to believe he actually cashes out multiple millions on the regular

a 180k swing would be childs play in that kind of environment

Mikki seems a good character for poker. I like when he is playing on TV.

He's a total enigma because he both has tats and is nice?

This guy fell into money. He didn't make it, he didn't win it, he isn't going to keep it.
