ever hear of the dragonlady???

[cnote]

i am on another message board and some guy is trying to blow smoke up my ass about some woman called the dragon lady who bets millions on baseball games....i told him he should kill himself now for believing that BS uppy: .didint even want to get into that it was near impossible to get down on that kind of action....anyways he says Johnny Chan knows her and follows her picks....i am guessing she is a tout...i dont doubt she plays..but millions on a game..??? this guy said she had 6mil in action on the line tonight and wins about a mil a week every week for the baseball season :missingte :aktion033 :think2: ....just curious if anyone has heard of this person??

 

[Fighting_Irishman]

Probably some old lady out of china town that bets heavy for other agents or players.......I don´t think its millions on one game though.

The key question is where does she get down on that much per game?

 

[Doug]

I think you could get it down, but the line would move a lot ( maybe 30 cents ?). You'd have to hit a lot of garbage books, Pinny would be helpful to have.

I wonder what you could match at matchbook.

Their used to be 100k+ on any game at Mansion in the good old days.

Never heard of a bettor who fits that discription.

them orientals have quite a bit of money and they like to gamble...wouldnt doubt it

 

[cnote]

i dont doubt that asians like to gamble....but what book or books will take 100K+ bets in regular season bases...on top of that i am sure this is not bet on credit...so how do you post up millions for a bankroll and then withdrawl the millions you have won?? i dont think it is possible to move that kind of money now in the US without the 3rd party processors...

Is it stated the player is from US ?

I don't believe the story, but 1 million might just be doable, but the line would move so much , the play couldn't have any value left. Pinny would let you keep betting the limit, right ?

There was a huge gambler nicknamed the "dragon lady" and she was the meanest person to deal to.

She bet huge on blackjack and would spit at the dealer, throw cards, she was just hateful.

Some casino finally had enough of her and banned her and i think I recall she ended up stiffing some casinos on markers.

She was a miserable person to deal to.

Sharp post.

This is the legendary "Dragon Lady" of gambling lore. Many Vegans can tell some stories about her.<!-- / post 4170682 popup menu -->

i dont doubt that asians like to gamble....but what book or books will take 100K+ bets in regular season bases.

If the general line on a game was -150/ +140, and you wanted the favorite and would accept it say -165, I think if you offered the dog at +165 on Matchbook, I think you could fill quite a chunk as the bettors at Matchbook would take the +165, and scalp it with the -150 elsewhere. the line would move as everybody starts betting the fav at their other books, but I think you would wind up with a lot of fav -165 action.

I've learned from Booking over many years , whereas the average American "Joe Sucker" likes to bet favorite and Over , the Average Asian likes dog and under ....

doug i hear what you are saying..but how do you get millions to a offshore like matchbook to place these bets, how do you withdrawl these millions and do you trust a offshore with millions....i nevr used matchbook so i dont even know what the highest offer on the table was there...

send them a check perhaps. It would be better if you weren't American. You would have to trust them, you want the money there anyway in this case ( which I don't believe).

If you win like crazy, you don't hurt Matchbook. You can offer a billion dollars if its in your account, but of course that won't get taken.

You can get Sea for about $17,000 combined at 3 different prices, that's a start.

I've heard that too Rupert. In fact, a poster here by the name of "acw" did a study on Asian betting in soccer and came up with the same results that you mention.
