After being banned from his favorite club Hyde for cocaine possession, the worst thing may have happened to Vegas Dave ever: he lost $1M on betting on Meisha Tate for UFC 200. In what could have made him one of the most famous sports betters ever, and reportedly the biggest bet on MMA ever instead backfired badly and landed him one of the biggest loses ever.
The funny thing about this, is that I don’t gamble, but really was considering putting a little bit of $10k or so on Meisha Tate, because of Vegas Dave.
Despite this huge loss, he’s made some amazing bets that have shown that he not only pays attentions, but all that partying hasn’t affected his ability to analyze what is going on. The brain is still working just as good, and even with a few brain cells dying, his talent is above and beyond any of us.
Was this a real bet, or him seeking attention? He knew what he was doing: he has a huge business selling tips every month, which makes him in theory, just as much as betting. If he had won the bet, he would have made at least as much on sales of his tips.
So what does this mean for Vegas Dave Oancea? Nothing. He’s going to still be raking in the dough and this is just a small bump in his crazy wild Vegas lifestyle. Haters will be haters, and it’s truly sad that many people wanted to see him lose. He’s still rich, and has a hot girlfriend.
