A mate thinks he might know of the buyer of that apartment... said he's known for betting $20m a hand on baccarat, and losing an offensive amount of money in a night, so I'd say he's got plenty to spend

crazy

See I don't understand that

How is gambling even exciting for people who put that much money on the table...what do you stand to win that you don't already have or can't already afford to buy

Gotta be about showing how much money you have and don't care about to high roller friends

lol I started typing almost exactly this... then CBF'd out

Very agree

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akio_Kashiwagi

"Kashiwagi owned a home and office in Tokyo, out of which he ran the Kashiwagi Shoji Company. He stated that he was the sole principal of his real estate and investment business. He claimed an income of a hundred million dollars a year, and a billion dollars in assets. His finances were so secretive that a credit review for casino officials declared his profession only as 'business'."

"Kashiwagi regularly played baccarat for large sums, betting 100,000 or 200,000 dollars a hand, for hours at a time. He later got into a legal wrangle with Donald Trump's Atlantic City casino in 1990 over a deal in which Kashiwagi was to bet $12 million. Kashiwagi left the casino with two million dollars in chips, having lost ten million. He claimed the casino had failed to hold up its end of the deal."

"On January 3, 1992, Kashiwagi was killed, stabbed as many as 150 times with a samurai sword. His body was discovered in his home in Japan near Mount Fuji.[1] At the time of his death, Akio still had casino debts in the millions of dollars."

Still would get some excitement in it

Would be no different to the average punter putting down a $50 bet?

If he wins its free beers thay he/she can already afford.

This guy bets $20m. If he wins maybe just a bonus and buys a Yacht for the lols

All gamblers lose given enough time and repeated visits.

Used to lol @ poker tournaments broadcast on TV referencing superstars and so called "professional poker players", world number ones etc. - no such thing. These guys would promptly disappear with a new number one in the world every week cause, well somebody has to win the fkn tournament.
