'Lucky sports bettor' Floyd Mayweather boasts of $1m gambling win

Floyd Mayweather, who recently pulled in 200 million dollars from his fight with Filipino Congressman Manny Pacquiao, has posted online pictures of a series of winning bets that earned him nearly a million dollars.

The 38-year-old boxer's Twitter snap of his Vegas tickets show that he won in a sequence of last-minute wins, each one more improbable than the last, News.com.au reported.

Mayweather took it his Twitter page to say "the last 4 days have been great. I'm getting paid while watching others entertain and perform. I don't do anything for free. I bet $350,000.00 and walked away with $827,272.73."

He bet on Houston Rockets beating the Clippers in game six; that the Hawks would beat the second half spread against the Wizards in game six; that Gennady Golovkin would knock out William Monroe Jr. before the end of the sixth round; and that the Clippers would beat the second half spread against the Rockets in game seven.
