Because he told me. I met him in Vegas at the time of the bet and we met up a few times after, when he was in Vegas. He can't meet me there this next time because he has got no money left, he told me.

I'm surprised nobody has pointed out how hilarious the thread title is yet!

Just to set the record straight.
Yes this is old news
No I haven't gone bankrupt. In fact things have never been going so well.

Hope this puts an end to that rumour and this thread. The Brandi story is so much more interesting!! What on earth is going on there???

Well you are always taught to protect your cards by placing something hard on their backs....


Lots of game Americans came forward after the bet to do the same thing. We even sold the rights to Fox to film them doing the bet. But no casino would take the bet on!

I'm curious why no casino would take this bet, and further am interested if the fact it would be televised was the pivotal issue.

Such a thing as bad publicity?



Also, in the quoted post, who is "We" relating to the sale of the rights?






Edited to add that I'm an idiot who originally included a misdirected one liner born out of my own errant faculties.

For the same reason the Hard Rock pulled out of the original bet the morning it was supposed to happen. They were being leaned on by the Nevada Gaming commission who were worried people would bet on the outcome, because it was supposed to be a live TV broadcast of the spin. In fact it seems it was a precursor to the new U.S online gaming ban.

I own the TV rights to 'Double or Nothing" along with SKY and a few other parties.
