Famed Vegas Sports Bettor Makes $1 Million Bet on Miesha Tate to Defeat Amanda Nunes
- Bettor known as “Vegas Dave” has enjoyed great success placing big future bets in the past
- Last year won $2.5 million with Kansas City Royals World Series victory
- Won $2.3 million betting the Broncos preseason to win the 2016 Super Bowl
- Tate was coming in at 4-11 early odds
Fox Sports reporter Damon Martin is reporting that a high stakes sports bettor in Las Vegas just plunked down $1 million on Miesha Tate to defeat Amanda Nunes at UFC 200.
Dave Oancea, also known as “Vegas Dave” has placed some of the most successful wagers in the history of sports betting. He confirmed the wager to Fox Sports while providing them a picture of the cash from his Instagram page (not sure if that is verifiable).
Martin describes just a few of Oancea’s big bets:
Oancea has made a career out of betting, especially when it comes to "futures" wagers like the $2.5 million he won after picking the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series at the start of the season or the $2.3 million he picked up after picking the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl ahead of the NFL season.
In MMA, "Vegas Dave" came to prominence after he plopped down $20,000 in a wager picking Holly Holm to defeat Ronda Rousey at UFC 193.
Tate was listed as the slight early favorite at 2-5 or 4-11 depending on the book. Nunes was coming in at 2-1 odds.
