• Dave Johnson is an American announcer and sportscaster, best known for his work in horse racing with ABC and NBC Sports and at various race tracks in New York and New Jersey. His signature line — 'And down the stretch they come!' — is instantly recognizable throughout the sport, and often imitated by comedians, notably David Letterman.

A gambling mastermind doesn’t come frequently and finding one raises more questions than they answer. However, when Don Johnson swept over casinos and won $6 million at Tropicana in one night, after recently winning $5 million at Borgata and another $4 million at Caesars—his style, tactic, and pace is nothing short of genius, a true modern gambling virtuoso.

Who is Don Johnson?

Now an infamous casinocelebrity, Don Johnson at age 30, started experimenting with the betting worldas a racetrack manager in Philadelphia Park. After managing other racetracks,he worked as a state regulator in Idaho, Texas, Oregon, and Wyoming. He thenpioneered Heritage Development, an enterprise that uses computer-assistedbetting programs for horse racing.

The financial crisis of 2008pushed casinos to entice high rollers. Johnson was one of the few who has madeoffers to play at the highest stake. However, Johnson was differed theothers—so good was he in negotiating that casinos allowed for their rules to bebent, raising the odds for Johnson and lowering the same for the house. Inaddition, he did it all without technically cheating and without the use ofcard counting.

Johnson’s winning streak startedgaining attention when his bets averaged $100,000. Casino owners and pit bosseslooked with fury or pure amazement as Johnson won $800,000 in one hand, then a$1.2 million in a three-hand sequence.

According to Johnson, he did notfeel excitement nor tenseness. He just played violently, betting as high as hecould, and reaping all the benefits. Casinos at first didn’t know what to do;they fall for Johnson’s antics one after another. And they couldn’t figure itout either. For one, Johnson is easy to underestimate. A guy in tracksuits witha jaunty disposition, what could he possibly know about gambling, right?

Soon, casinos comped Johnson everything from fancy wines, extravagant suites, pricy cigars, to private luxury jets. Oh, and he was pompous. He truly embodies the it’s-all-or-nothing mantra, even demanding at times to change the brand of private jets he didn’t like. He partied crazy too! Moreoever, he brought with him edgy people and befriended the elite including Paris Hilton, Steve Wynn, and Steve Aoki. Even better was that casinos comped all of his expenses. In short, he didn’t just bring the house down; he burned them all, raking millions and millions.

Height and Decline

Johnson knew that his stint wouldonly go as far. Even he wasn’t aware of how far would it go. So, he pushed andpushed until casinos can’t give anymore. At one instance, police waited at theentrance of a bar he frequented and almost arrested him. Knowing a weekend injail isn’t worth it, he caved in.

After this, Johnson would soonhave a mark from casinos, banning him to play from their biggest tables. ToJohnson and to his followers, this is a win-win situation, for it is thehighest attainment for a famed casino player to be banned from casinos all forplaying too well. Johnson therefor has achieved the other goal in casinos asidefrom gaining money; Johnson has successfully beaten the house.
