Crocky Setting Lines Again

Looking for Action
Looking for Action
Last night, we reported that Billy "The Croc" Argyros made a wager with his tablemate Greg "FBT" Mueller on the number of players that would be left at the end of the evening. The line was set at 65, and Crocky took $500 off FBT for betting the over.

Crocky is trying to get the same bet going with FBT again today, though so far FBT is refusing the action. He's set the line at 24 for the number of players left at the end of the day today.

Any takers?
