Traffic here at Gambling911.com has been through the roof these last few days.  We'd like to say it was all the NFL Draft, but it wasn't.  Caesars Sportsbook has been getting some bad national press and Gambling911.com is there to cover it all.

Caesars Now Refusing to Pay Chicago Area Man as Story Goes Viral

Thomas McPeek placed stacks and stacks of bets last year — complicated wagers on football called parlays, where several events all have to happen for the gambler to win. But the casinos with which he placed the best refused to pay them out. Suzanne Le Mignot reports.

The 24-year-old won $800,000 and Caesars refuses to pay him any of it, claiming he tried to circumvent their policy as it relates to "structuring standards" and "repeat wagering". 

"This is a calculated attack, I should say, where I thought I had an edge," McPeek told the local Chicago CBS affiliate.

But the real traffic came in for a story that's nearly a year old of a beard who got the same treatment from Caesars. 

The impressions for that latter story are 94,000 thus far (just from X).  That's a lot of eyes.
