such high bet is crazy to make even if you are a rich person and do not think that this does not hurt him because everyone hates to lose when it depends on money
hmmm... seems to be a trend for poker Pro's to loose their money in other gambling-games. Even if you would think that they know how to invest money profitably^^
this is nonsense, yes he can afforid it to loose 1.4 million for a stupid tennis game, but mannnnn 1.4 million is too much, i could live like a king from that money, Man that dude is crazy 1.5 million for a tennis bet man i cant belive this.....

Crazy guy! How someone can bet that amount of money. For normal people is this enough money until the end of life. And he bets on a tennis-match. Crazy!
