Sean Perry, a controversial poker pro turned gambling influencer, flashed the Circa ticket Friday night and hinted at his edge after the book capped him at $300k instead of $1 million.
Circa's Jeffrey Benson replied that Perry requested $300k or $500k, then bet the opposite side of what he announced for a video shoot—likely flipping from Arizona to Michigan.
The back-and-forth drew cheers from sharp bettors, spotlighting tensions between influencers and pro books ahead of Saturday's Final Four clash between the top seeds.
Perry tweeted via his X account.
"Listen up little boy bensieee, I asked “could I get $300k or $500K or whatever your max is” with both of us knowing if you said $1 million I would’ve been there to bet $1 million on this easy winner as I’m always trying to get down more action. I have tons and tons of videos of my posting at your exact place looking for more action of you guys turning it down.
"Also I will not ever give you my exact position until I actually put in my bet to refrain from you guys moving the number on me before I actually make my bet. (A tactic I use all the time to help influence the market to move in direction I like and keep ppl from front running bets…maybe one day you’ll understand the logic when you want to step out from behind the counter little boy Job you have and start actually being a bettor for a living. Tbh you probably have even tried, but I’m sure you fail over and over again which is why you are where you are and I am where I am. BETTING MORE THAN YOUR YEARLY SALARY ON A SINGLE PLAY)
"Anyways man, pls jsut make sure you have the right amount of staff onboard this time so when I come to collect so I can make another video of me filling up another suitcase full of cash you don’t have to bitch again saying I’m holding up the line."
""You asked for 300k or 500k, not $1M. And you bet the opposite side of what you told us you were going to bet. Don’t sit up here and posture and use us unnecessarily for clout," Benson responded.
Circa is known for its high betting limits and rarely cuts off players.
Dr. OnePieceAtATime PhD MBA MD is obviously not a Perry fan.
"Why JB and Circa put up with this bullsh*t is mind boggling. Maybe it's good marketing for Circa but my Lord this SP guy is insufferable."
