Please understand that no pitcher in recorded baseball history had thrown more than 14 pitches at 103+ MPH in one big league game....and that Jacob Misiorowski threw THIRTY of them in the first 4 innings today.
A 24 year old from Chicago who still lives with his parents spent months studying sports betting books and found a legal edge in football parlays. He won $800,000 across two Caesars casinos. Caesars voided every ticket and sent his $50,000 stake back instead. Two state gaming commissions sided with Caesars. He is now suing them in federal court.
– Thomas McPeek is a 24 year old from suburban Chicago who lives with his parents.
– He spent months reading sports betting publications and studying parlay structures, bets where multiple events all have to happen to produce a win.
– He identified what he believed was a consistent edge in certain football wagers where Caesars was pricing odds in ways that gave a sharp bettor an advantage.
– In August 2024 he walked into the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond Indiana with roughly $30,000 and placed hundreds of small bets at self-service kiosks over the course of a week.
– He won $350,000.
– In September he moved to the Isle Casino in Bettendorf Iowa also owned by Caesars and won another $450,000.
– He placed his bets in small amounts at kiosks specifically to avoid drawing attention.
– Total winnings across both casinos: $800,000.
– When McPeek returned to collect at Horseshoe in October 2024 his winning tickets were voided.
– Caesars said he had violated their house rules by coordinating bets across state lines and by structuring his wagers in small amounts.
– Caesars refunded his original $50,000 stake. They kept the rest.
– One casino had already paid him before catching on. Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City Indiana paid him $127,000 in winnings then asked him never to return.
– McPeek filed complaints with gaming regulators in both Indiana and Iowa. Both sided with Caesars.
– In 2025 he filed a civil lawsuit against Caesars in US District Court in Nevada.
– Caesars filed a motion to dismiss in July 2025 arguing the lawsuit was filed in the wrong jurisdiction and that McPeek had agreed to their terms when placing his bets.
– "It's not like I can snap my fingers and make the bets win," McPeek told CBS News. "They still have to win."
– The case is still ongoing.
