Was doing a bit of reading on wikipedia recently and came across a page on Kerry Packer.
As the article states, he was an avid gambler and I just had to post this bit......
"Packer is famously quoted for an exchange in a poker tournament at the Stratosphere Casino, where a Texan oil investor was attempting to engage him in a game of poker. Upon the Texan saying "I'm worth $60,000,000!" Packer apparently pulled out a coin and asked nonchalantly, "heads or tails?", referring to a $120,000,000 wager (according to Bob Stupak's biography). Some variations of the story put the sum at $60â€ââ,¬Å"100,000,000 and claim the line was "I'll toss you for it"."
Gold!
