“I had a vision, I saw something that no one else saw, and I went for it.”
That’s how “Vegas” Dave Oancea describes the $2.5 million payday he just took off a sports book in Las Vegas after cashing in a futures bet on the Kansas City Royals to win the 2015 World Series.
And with money like that in his pocket, the professional sports bettor, who runs his own sports wagering consulting site at itsvegasdave.com, Oancea can afford to do some things “just for fun.”
Ya know, like buy a new Bentley to park next to his Ferrari. And spend the rest of his life traveling and spending money, rather than betting it. He said he can just worry about making money for his clients now.
But he can also do fun things like bet $10,000 against one of the biggest sure things in MMA history: Ronda Rousey.
“I’ll put $10,000 on that for fun,” Oancea told MMAjunkie Radio. “I’ll put $10,000 on her every time against her and just keep doubling up, because eventually she’s going to lose – that’s my philosophy. It just takes one lucky punch. I’ll put $10,000 on her if they let me do it. I’ve got balls.”
Rousey (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) headlines UFC 193 in Australia on Saturday against Holly Holm (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), and as usual, she’s a heavy favorite. She’s favored more this fight, in fact, than any time before – and that includes 16-1 odds for her in her most recent fight against Bethe Correia at UFC 190. (She won that fight in 34 seconds.)
