A lot of the times the #'s can be confusing
I.E. when you read about the MOB ON WALLSTREET and a $30MM scam what that means is that investors in total lost $30MM that is not what O.C. made, on a scam like that they usually made $9MM

The same goes with sports books when the feds say $10MM sports book the guys running those books did not make $10MM
Gamblers waged $10MM in bets, some won, some lost
I.E. a gambler bets $1,000 on 8 sunday games wins 4, loses 4, the book made the vig however, that was $8K in bets

Especially when the #'s we get are from the feds they always inflate their #'s it makes cases look bigger
