Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow Called out for $50k WSOP Profit Bet
1 year ago10 Jun
Mike Matusow has hit the headlines again with a World Series of Poker offer to bet up to $50k that he will profit by at least $50k over the course of this yearâs WSOP!
Anyone want to bet I show a profit of 50k or more for entire wsop dm me we can bet up to 50k! Everyone's about to pay for what I've been through last 7 yrs! Dont say I didn't warn you all! #wsop2022#positivity

Borrowing Phil Hellmuthâs #positivity line, âthe Mouthâ soon faced criticism for his offer, a ton of vitriol aimed at Mike...
- Do you even have 50k?
- WatchâŚhis backers will bet that just to cover their losses!!!!!
- Selling 100k of action with a 1.5x markup seems like a lock.
- I prefer to bet with people who donât double talk angle shoot and bullshit their way out of losing bets.
- Watch him say cash games count. Not that he would win in them or anything.
However, Matusow claims he has had only two losing years in the last 26 at the WSOP, which if true would make the bet a very profitable one should anyone take him up on it.
Iâm selling up to 50% on all my tourneys but am playing everything so if I donât sell it all out I donât care cause itâs more for me! All I can say is Iâve had 2 losing wsop in 26 yrs so jump in and buy pieces cause they wonât last! https://t.co/8EtGls03h6

And there were offers, although âescrowâ seemed to be the key to any deal...
Iâll take it all if you post.

Matusow hit the headlines in the run-up to this yearâs World Series, his 1.3 markup offer the same as last yearâs, which resulted in some serious accusations that Mike had falsified his results.
Rob Smith, aka AtariRob, looked a little closer at Matusowâs series, producing a spreadsheet (see below) and commenting...
âI couldn't sleep letâs kick this out quickly. These were the events we can verify through PokerNews that Mike played. The last event we saw on youtube that he played. 24 events, $162,000 in buy ins, $174,736 in cashes for total of $12,736 for I believe is around an 8% ROI.â
That was vastly different, and much less, than Matusow claimed, and all eyes will be peeled for this yearâs numbers from âthe Mouthâ, who seems desperate to remain relevant in the modern poker world.
