David "ODB" Baker and Mark Gregorich had to pay the bills somehow.
So, with live poker mostly still on ice in the U.S., the two poker players put their heads together and picked some winners in the NFL. So many winners, in fact, that they piled up high six figures in winnings across a pair of handicapping contests hosted by prominent Las Vegas casinos.
They won the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest for $435,623 and finished second in Circa Sports Million for another $200,000. Additionally, they tallied another $150,000 in winnings from quarterly prize pools for a total of $785,623 in prize money.
