    I know there was a thread on this last year but I can't find it when I search... so what is everybody's biggest wins? I remember one guy claiming he made at least a million off Douglas/Tyson... Whether it was true or not remains to be seen. :rasta

    A million is bull****. You can't win that much from legitimate oddsmaker unless you're rich to begin with. But this was a great fight to come up with:'

    From http://www.gamblingonlinemagazine.com/article-detail.php?articleID=323

    "In the world of Las Vegas sports wagering, there's no such thing as a "sure thing." Never was that old adage truer than on that February night when the 42-to-1 long shot shocked the world by knocking out Tyson in the tenth round to become the new heavyweight champion. One bettor had placed $1,500 on Douglas at 38-to-1 for a $57,000 payday."

    Yeah, I figured buddy was lying. $57,000 is still a nice haul though! :thumbsup
