A gambler out of Eastern Europe has already won big on the World Series, and he has no signs of stopping. Now he has over $14 million on the line for Game 7 and has left the gambling world wonder “how?”
This isn’t a case of a single gambler throwing down huge money on a single game. The bettor has won on all six World Series games so far — spread across multiple bookies — and let it ride after every single win. When the Dodgers won Game 6, he could have taken home over $14 million, but he let it ride — again.
Little is known about the gambling mystery man, prompting people to raise questions. He’s not a regular in the Las Vegas sports betting scene, and his only other previous bets were on UFC fights, all of which he won. The odds he’s taking are consistently bad, prompting people to wonder whether he’s just lucky, or if this is part of a scheme by a larger syndicate. Others are questioning whether the mysterious bettor exists at all. It’s a fascinating story that has become part urban legend, as much as anything else. RJ Bell, who has been following and tweeting about the bettor, claims his bets are so big and against the odds so severely that he’s single-handedly changing the lines in Vegas.
People are desperately trying to learn the identity of the bettor, how he’s predicting these games so perfectly in a series that has been totally up in the air, and waiting to hear where he’ll put all his money on Game 7.
Dodgers are huge favorites, I thought it would be around -130, up to -155.
Have to bet $155 to win $100.
A Houston win would be a huge upset, rooting for the Astros.
Hitting 6 games in a row is not the easiest thing in the world, but by no means as long odds as winning the lottery.
He’s on a hot streak. It happens.
Big ball games always seem to hang on small things.
Yep... it's the little things. Like hitting and pitching.
yep
Heard on Sports radio that he is picking the Dodgers.
Who is he betting on? Did I miss that?
So at -155, he only stands to win $9 million? Feh. Hardly worth walking to the bank to cash the check. ;)
Trends are different..for different disciples, markets, weather, politics...etc..
You guys are all missing it in plain sight . . .
It’s little Miss 6-for-6 coin tosser . . . And don’t forget the lucky cattle futures bets.
Bet 14 to win 9??
I’n callin fake news.
What dumb ass would do that?
Roughly one chance in 64 of doing that by dumb luck.
Some whale who needs $23 million to cover losses from his last round of wagering.
Not looking to good right now! 5 to 0 Astros

Prolly some congress critter, employee of clinton foundation, or a russkie?
Seems like “he” made the right call if the reports he was leaning to the Dodgers were true.
