oh yeah...this thread reminds me of this story i heard somewhere (details may be off so no flaming!)
Apparently, ivey was golfing with Chip Reese (?) and was around 75 yrds from the hole when he asked chip, what do you think the odds are that i hit this shot in the hole. Chip said i dunno, 300-1 and ivey replied with, "common, gimme 500-1". Chip agreed and they put down 10k on it. Ivey proceeded to knock it in. Now THATS balla. Ship it.

Ivey bet 10k or Ivey bet 20 getting 10k if he won?

10k at 500/1 is 5million, I don't see Chip betting that much

It was in Bluff magazine it was 150:1 originally but then Phil had to use a pitching wedge and it went to 200:1. The bet was $1,000 and Phil won $200,000. Phil said he had taken $11,000 off the unamed player and was just trying to give him back $1,000 to make it an even $10,000. Marc Goodwin witnessed it and confirmed the story.
