Biggest Whale Ever? £23 million lost over more than 15 years.

[LiveCasinoPartners]

My girlfriend picked up this story. I was surprised that he lost £23 million at Aspinalls. This guy is a true whale. Here's the story

His defense for not paying the casino was interesting. This was his reasoning for not paying the check he gave them:

"Casinos give a service, and if the service is not good, considering the price which you are paying, then you do not pay," he said. "If you go to a restaurant and you do not like the food, you do not pay. If you go to the whorehouse and do not get the pleasure you were seeking, you do not pay."

How many agree with that statement?

This was not online, but as a brick and mortar casino. Apparently the casinos define a true whale as :

The traditional definition of a whale is a man who stakes at least $1 million, or £520,000 every time he sits at a table. There are thought to be around 180 of them in the world, including Adnam Kashoggi. Generally, they are worth at least £500 million.

Any affiliates here have one on their account?

That's awesome.. LOL

I do not promote casinos where all the whales are.

But i think i have a poker whale.

This one player of mine rakes $400 a day when he plays.

That to me is a whale for poker.

That's like going to the movie theatre and saying I didn't really like the movie so give me my money back.

Whereas a restaurant may comp you if you don't EAT it. Or a whorehouse, well I don't know.. never been there. :

Just 1 of the 180 would be nice!

I have a player who over the past 2 years has lost $500,000. Just wish I had more LOL

Rather have a player treat online gambling as entertainment with the exception of online poker. For me it is spooky concept knowing that I may have contributed to someone's financial ruin.

Although I do not think this is case here. Obviously these players had a fair bit of disposable income.

Just a thought, pointing out perhaps it be worth while for those stuck on gambling offering some advice or help.

Or a whorehouse, well I don't know.. never been there.

I wanted to ... but I didn't touch that one.


but if I had ... It would have went something like this

bleep bleep-bleep bleep so therefore bleep bleep-bleep and bleep-bleep bleep

How many agree with that statement?

to that I would add to the above

"and the horse he rode in on"



* don't try to put words into the bleeps because it may drive you mad. I just used bleeps and they do not subsitute for real words.
** however if you discover an interesting subsitute that would fit to make sense with the addition of the last line ... I'd love to hear it.

My biggest whale has lost $100,000 in 2008. Wish I have more whales like this in 2009

That's like going to the movie theatre and saying I didn't really like the movie so give me my money back.

Which does work by the way. I've done this at least twice in the last 3 years and never had a problem getting a refund. Technically, they don't give your money back but they do give you a voucher to see a future movie.

In both cases I got up before the movie finished though, not sure if that makes a difference.

I'm surprised Aspinalls hasn't literally fed the guy to the lions.

The Aspinall family do own a private zoo, so it wouldn't be impossible for them to do this and judging by the guy's attitude, I wouldn't blame them.

I think if I had one I wouldn't be here.

Excellent.

There is hope.
