thats total bullshit, cause you can't just bet 20k in vegas. fact is, it's hard to find a casino that will take a 5k bet. you have to be well established to place a big wager and it's not done in front of the public. i used to work in the industry. nobody just goes to vegas and lays down a big wager despite all the bs you hear. big wagers come from big people or through big people and there pre-arranged. not like a horse track where you run in and drop 20k right before the game.
