LAS VEGAS — At ABC Island Sports in Curaçao, Dave Sharapan answered the phone, like he did scores of times daily, like he’d do hundreds of times every week in 1997 and ’98.
“Guy calls in, wants to bet the Bulls for $50,000,” he says. “We were like, ‘Ahhh, okay.’ He had sent the money in, we took it, and he wanted to bet it. We sweated it.”
