Phil Ivey has a radio show called "Tuesdays With Ivey". Last Tuesday Ivey talked to Barry Greenstein about his bets on the Super Bowl.

In the first half, Ivey bet on the Cardinals with +3.5 odds. Cardinals were down 10-7 with minutes to go in the half when they were just a couple yards from a touch down. Instead of getting a touchdown or field goal, they turn the ball over to Pittsburgh for 100-yard touchdown return.

So, Ivey loses 800k on that play instead of being up 800k. But Ivey mentions he had some other bets which he won and he apparently is up $800K after all is said and done.

    Wow. Phil Ivey like many poker players have oddles of money for betting. I often say poker is not for gamblers, however when I see how the pros carry on while playing on TV, I may need to adjust my thinking. Truth be told, its my green eyed monster speaking.
    Great article.
