Poker legends Daniel Negreanu, Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Doyle Brunson and Phil Ivey (left to right in picture) all headed to Bellagio last week for some high-stakes action. With ‘high-stakes action' we are not only referring to high stakes cash games but also proposition bets!
Although Daniel Negreanu won $50k in one of the sessions, he still ended up losing $436,000 on proposition be[...] Read more » Familiar Faces At Bellagio's High-Stakes Tables

This really is a crazy way to gamble. The amount of money these guys bet is unbelievable and they bet on all kind of weird things. I wonder who wins the most on these prop bets?
He is a guy without honor, so there is a big chance he collaborates with another player. Why would even someone want to play with that scammer? Yes I am talking about Phil Ivey, I know most of you guys are a "beta fanboys" of that heartless prick, that doesn't matter that much, most of the girls also like wrong guys and they fail to see the true nature of people.
So if any asskisser wants to support Ivey, go ahead, it means you have no soul/heart/character.

Wow first time i hear about this kind of gambling. But these guys have so much money that they don't care about it losing 450K in one night is nothing just a little juicy game. . This kind of gambling looks like worst than any other casino game. I don't have the money but even for less amount a would never play this kind of game.

He lost almost 500k in pro bets These players are addicted to gambling. I think in the last paragraph Negreanu sums it up, the way it actually is, by saying : This is essentially juice free gambling for degens... End of story !!!
I want to be Daniel Negreanu's bank account. I want to feel all those highs and lows. I want to be abused then I want to be treated well. I want to get fat, I mean real fat then I want be trimmed down... I want to see all those zeroes and the end of transactions. I want to give birth to a savings account and a 401k account as well - so Daniel could at least keep something while he is loosing his well earned dough as a degen.

well all this gathering of old famous degens seems fishy to say the least, probably some sort of pr stunt... oh and these prop bets, right as if dudes have zillions in their accounts or became inspired by dan bilzerian so much that all they think about at poker tables is prop bets... probably someone written a script which was executed masterfully by these degens.

Proposition bet... I know what it is. When risk goes up, the potential return tends to go up accordingly, or maybe it won't. Well, it is nice to see Daniel Negreanu, Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Doyle Brunson, and Phil Ivey together again in Vegas!

Yeah, though one would think when these people are betting on something it should be more interesting than cards and all. I mean they could easily prop bet the living $hit out of basicly anything - from guessing what colour underwear the waitress is wearing up to how many people walking past their tables in the next hour sporting hawaii shirts and bermudas. Yeat they are just sitting there counting cards. I am utterly disappointed at their lack of imagination.
These players are addicted to gambling.
