Rumor going around is "Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather bet $1.3 million on Kentucky 1st Half (-4.5). Apparently he spread the action around, anyone know which books specifically got rolled?

Whoever it was has the right to refuse or limit any bet he makes so if they continue taking his bets it means only one thing. They want to keep making money off him.

It's a foregone conclusion that SB's routinely boot or limit good handicappers however, some take action from celebs for the free publicity. Either way, he scored big if true.

Well, I believe he places most of his bets at The M.
I think.
Fast forward to 3:30 and look out the window.

Not sure which was more appalling, that he parked in the handicap space or the fact that he cashed out over $100K and did NOT tip!

In the Las Vegas service industry {casino--hotel--restaurants--nightclubs and more} it is a known fact that Mayweather is BY FAR the best tipper that comes to an establishment.
He's not a good tipper, he's a phenomenal tipper.
Google it.

You know, I'm usually an excellent tipper and tip pretty much every service person I come in contact with, either at home or on the road, but I've never understood the philosophy of tipping cashiers in casinos for giving you your money. It is akin to going into a bank, withdrawing a few thousand dollars, and giving the teller a tip for handing your cash to you.

"Pound for pound the best tipper"

Mayweather gave $100 to a bellman simply for bringing something up to his room

Floyd Mayweather spotted giving serious dinero over to their servers,

Honorable Mention---top ten celebrity tippers---

Plus I know firsthand that he came by my job and handed everybody at least a hundred dollar bill--for doing nothing.

The guy is good.
