Signs point to yes. Ask if it is.

For those of you that dont know the game blackjack, you dont win $200k by placing $5 bets.
For all we know he could have walked up to a table and chucked $100k on, won the hand and walked off.
To win in a prolonged session, he would have had to be betting $25k a pop....
Well done if you've got that kind of money to blow i guess...

spot on. it would have to have been a pretty good streak even in a prolonged session. i have not seen too many bj players walk away with a tidy sum. usually the money is won playing baccarat.
maybe he was counting cards, who knows.

With all due respect to the big fella, i dont think he has enough fingers to count cards

| Pebs won the 1 Million Sth African Rand courtesy of a rare jackpot that was linked to the table, so he may well been betting in small amounts.

Will it count towards the salary cap?
Afterall, he was on an official footy trip, representing the club and the AFL.
Still, it's not like an under the table payment, like those received if you played for Carlscum!
