Actually, it's Holland Oates. Holland is his first name and Oates is his second name.

f tilt

+1 to this being a prop bet

Ivey confirmed more busto than durrrr

You don't feel that people who have made a fortune off the back of their public profile should be subject to a degree of public scrutiny? hmm

Tiger Woods is worth nearly $1bn pretty much off the back of public endorsement alone. He has huge commercial contracts with sponsors, which account for the majority of his net worth, but ignoring that, the reason why there is so much money up for grabs in the sport itself, ie winning a golf tournaments, is because it is all provided by sponsorship in one way or another...either a sponsor puts up the prize pool, or a sponsor pays their sponsored player's entry fees which in turn make up the prize pool. If the players had no profile, there would be no sponsors, and the money would be 1/100th of what it is now. Sponsors and advertisers want to be associated with success. They are often paying for a complete person, Tiger Woods was the poster child of that...he was carefully manicured to appear whiter than white (pardon the pun) on and off the field, in addition to his professional attributes all with the aim of convincing the general public to buy something.

Phil Ivey and poker is a little different, but it is assumed that most of his net worth comes from Full Tilt, a company built on the profiles of several name pros.. "Learn, Chat and Play with the Pros"... Phil Ivey being their top dog. Their entire brand identity is built on Phil Ivey being Phil Ivey.

People/people in the public eye can't have their cake and eat it. There are plenty of sportsman etc out there who avoid cashing in on their celebrity and in turn lead quiet, intrusion-free lives. Media attention, good and bad, is part of the deal i'm afraid.

I am not saying Ivey is a "sellout", he is known for avoiding the limelight in interviews and things, but nonetheless he has a public profile of the best poker player in the world, which is aided by his lucrative position as a member of Team Full Tilt.

lol

iveys wife: phil do you want to go to dinner tonight?
ivey: is there gambling involved?

Phil walked in on her cheating on him, with not one but two guys. I think it is obvious why they are divorcing.

Any press is good press...Captain Save-a-Baller

DAMN And I thought i would get into the cool kids crew now.

Oh well back to my life without the ments after.

Poker is not a sport, sir.

IMO you and people like you are the problem with our society. Companies choose whether or not to sponsor these people, and then they include in the contracts meetings/events these people are required to attend. To suggest they owe the public more than whats laid out in their contract is absolutely ridiculous. You don't have to buy the product that's being sponsored, and if you don't buy it they wont be able to endorse people. If people don't get endorsements you lose the entertainment value of seeing Phil Ivey on TV or whatever. They provide a service for you: entertainment. That does not mean you deserve to know what's going on in their life. What is wrong with you people?

He finally thought of a way to lose so much it hurts and he can't breathe.

So you don't spend your 50's 60's 70's 80's and 90's alone.

No love for this???
