It happened in LA @ Commerce Casino last year. Ted Forrest & Tuan Le started talking about foot races at the table and Tuan said that he was very fast. Ted then comes up with a wager for 50k I believe that pitted Tuan v Sam in a fifty yard dash with Tuan giving Sam a 10 yard head start. Tuan hemmed and hawed and got Ted to knock it down to 5 I believe. So 45 yards vs 50 yards. It's at this point Ted crosses the casino to ask Sam if he'd like to run a 45 yard dash for 5 grand. Sam says sure and that's when Ted clues him into the actual details of the bet.

Short cut to the end of the story...Sam wins his 5k free-run and Ted Forrest makes 45k.

I think the moral of the story is - if Ted Forrest ever makes you an offer you think is too good to be true, it is.
