    Is Dana White an AP?

    Lately the UFC President has been showing bits and pieces of his casino play. In his most recent vlog he mentions being kicked out of various casino's.

    Does anyone know more on what he is doing?

    Around 2:00 it gets interesting.


    It looks like when they backed him off, he cut off the events held at their location!

    I like the fact that he has leverage.

    Who knows. His childhood friend is co owner of the station casinos.

    When the palms HL was actually nice and the games were better I saw him betting 10k a hand there. Appeared to be flat betting.

    Just like the Ben Affleck story. Seems like some real shortsightedness and lack of creativity on the part of the casino.

    Several years ago I remember reading a story about Dana Whites BJ escapades and remember when he mentioned that he lost $25,000 playing BJ one Christmas Eve and how he felt like crap for doing so. If I remember correctly he said that gambling at BJ the day before Christmas Day was like a ritual or something along those lines.

    Dana has a certain amount of leverage over the fighters, but it's the Fertitta brothers who have leverage over Dana.

    I like this quote, "“Casinos don’t want to gamble anymore,” White said. “They’re all owned by hedge funds and corporations. They want to stack the odds so much against you that won’t play. Realistically, there’s only one place to play left in town. That’s Caesars. They will let you play what you want to play. No messing around with limits.”" http://msn.foxsports.com/ufc/haymake...a-white-060214

    When he was BO'd by the Casino, he pulled all future UFC events from the location. Dunno if it was his or the Fertitta brothers who made the final say but I'm happy it happened.

    His BR must be huge. Net worth of 200 million.

    I admire Dana White, I'm a huge fan of him and the UFC. It would not surprise me if he pulled all of his events from the Palms, I would. We'll find out either way. Betting $25K a pop, he doesn't have to worry about currency.
