A little smoking area convo with Dutch Boyd (after a heads-up from @robertgoldfarb) led to this little tidbit. Dutch Boyd and Roy Winston supposedly made a $5,000 prop bet at the 2008 WSOP regarding to Player of the Year points. Boyd supposedly won the bet, and when it came time to pay up at the start of the 2009 WSOP, Winston indicated that he would not pay.
Jen: \”Did Winston specifically say he wasn\’t going to pay you?\”
Dutch: \”Pretty much, yeah.\”
And from his Twitter:
Feeling rather annoyed… A liitle short in the horse and Roy \”the Oracle\” Winston is welching on a 5k prop bet. Lame.
Methinks \”The Oracle\” didn\’t anticipate Boyd would pursue this any further. Whoops.
