The savvy 27-year-old former data scientist took advantage of the city's sports betting system to place large bets via kiosk, collecting plenty of cash along the way.
According to the Washington Post, the bettor learned that the city's official betting platform, GambetDC, often set betting lines that could significantly differ from those at other national sportsbooks. Additionally, other operators could cut a player's allowed wagering amount if that player won too much.
The D.C. Lottery also announced that anyone believed to be engaged in 'excessive wagering' could see their betting activities limited. As the Post noted, the aforementioned sushi restaurant bettor profited more than $100,000, making regulators alter the betting habits of the entire customer base.
