Meet Vegas Dave, The “Dan Bilzerian” Of Sports Betting
Posted 8 years ago | Capper Reviews Report, Featured, Service Plays Reviews | 9 comments
Dan Bilzerian might be the King of Instagram, but “Vegas” Dave Onseca is without a doubt social media’s most notorious sports bettor. With close to 100,000 followers on both Facebook and Twitter, he’s way ahead of the competition.
He’s small potatoes compared to Bilzerian, but he’s a superstar compared to the likes of Steve Stevens, who has a national TV Show, and less than 4,000 Facebook followers and less than 9000 Twitter followers, or Stu Feiner who only has a few hundred Facebook followers, and a little over 16,000 Twitter followers.
That’s not very impressive considering that Al Pacino’s character in the Hollywood film “Two For The Money” was loosely based on the life of Brandon Lang and Stu “The Source” Feiner.
Here at Capper Reviews, we only deal with professional handicappers with documented winning records from a reputable source. None of the above-mentioned personalities qualify as what we would call a “professional”, and that includes Mr. Onseca. That being said, we can’t deny that “Vegas” Dave has an impressive history of winning big with his futures bets.
Vegas Dave Review
Vegas Dave made a name for himself during the 2015 MLB season, placing a futures bet on the Royals at 30-1 to win the World Series in Week 1. His $100,000 ticket paid out almost $2.5 Million. His story is well documented in the local Las Vegas newspapers, and his social media pages provide ample evidence of a lavish lifestyle that has since followed.
He spent the rest of 2015 celebrating, spending most of his nights clubbing at posh Las Vegas nightclubs. He’s usually surrounded by aspiring Instagram models, and for a little while, he was even tight with Royals slugger Eric Hosmer. Rumor has it that Hosmer ran off with Dave’s flavor of the month (Renee Baker), and the two haven’t been seen together since.
Dave won another big bet in November of 2015, cashing in a $20,000 ticket that paid out $240,000 on Holly Holm as an underdog versus Ronda Rousey. Bleacher Report published an article shortly after the fight claiming that the ticket Dave posted on social media was a fake but later had to publish a retraction, that actually confirmed the authenticity of the ticket. Super Bowl 50 was another big payday for Dave, with a $1,000,000 payout on the Denver Broncos.
If you follow Dave on social media, you will only hear about his winners. He doesn’t exactly get full marks for transparency, as he normally waits until after the game is over before posting pictures of his winning tickets. There are those who suspect he actually loses more than he wins, but without any access to documented records, I guess we’ll never know for sure.
Love him or hate him, he had Denver in Super Bowl 50, and just missed out on an even bigger payout with Atlanta in Super Bowl 51. There’s going to be a long line of people waiting to purchase his Super Bowl pick this year.

The Clemson Tigers host LSU in Week 1, and both these teams are expected to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Clemson lost 34-3 to Georgia in Week 1 last year, while LSU was upset by USC in a 27-20 loss in Las Vegas in their 2024…

Nico Iamaleava's dispute with Tennessee over money resulted in him leaving the team to accept far less money at UCLA. When you consider the higher taxes in California, you really have to question the decision making of the Bruins new quarterback.

The Bears will be a home underdog versus Auburn in Week 1, despite the fact that the Tigers are coming off a 5-7 season. A few costly turnovers and bad bounces were likely the difference between 5-7 and a winning record and a bowl game for Auburn last year.

The last time Alabama played Florida State it was 2017, and Jalen Hurts was the quarterback for the Crimson Tide. The game was in Atlanta, and it wasn't particularly close. The Seminoles were shutout in the second half in a 24-7 loss.

Bailey Zappe threw for almost 6,000 yards and a record 62 touchdowns during that championship run. Western Kentucky will hope that the next great Hilltoppers quarterback is Maverick McIvor who transfered from Albien Christian.

The Jayhawks were projected to be a contender in the BIG12 last year, but they lost five of their first six games and finished with a losing record. They come into 2025 with high expectations once again, and they host Fresno State in their season opener.

The Cyclones have won four of the last five meetings in this Farmageddon matchup, but the bookmakers have Kansas State favored here in Ireland. The Wildcats are laying 3.5 points, and we've seen four of the last five Aer Lingus Classic games decided by three points or less.

Another great resource for all the latest on Vegas Dave is @SteveMc00659869 on Twitter.
Who paid you to write this lol. Go on Twitter and get a six pack and a bag of chips and follow exposing Vegas Dave or any one of those guys that constantly shows him losing -500 or more bets and how his unit plays and parlays are horrific and how he pays homeless people in Somalia to post winning 100 bucks. And if they did they would have lost 8k that day to win that 100. What a joke this article is
Lol exposing Vegas Dave here. I do have too much time on my hands lately. But that just gives me a lot of time to expose the con artist Vegas Dave is. Check out my Twitter at @vegas_scum too see how he cons everyone and have a good laugh at him too
Did you guys see the guy on Twitter called “Exposing Vegas Dave”? The guy has way too much time on his hands, but he’s all over Vegas Dave, showing how he’s a fraud. It’s actually kinda entertaining just following his Twitter feed for a few hrs on a Saturday.
@Vegas Scam you got any idea who he had for his Game of the Year today?
I been following ItsVegasDave for awhile as we have all heard the claims of 125-0 MLB season, but finally we get to see the real inside of the organization as a member of his who claims to have paid Dave Oancea over $40,000 dollars for apprentice ship and plays is currently posting his system plays on twitter and there is very heavy losses.
Thank you for making a Vegas Dave handicapper review here and I can help show what a fraud he is.
Today the system play was Orioles and Rays under 11 which is currently getting smoked.
While I don’t have a problem with Dave this is shocking to me as he always claimed an undefeated MLB season.
Wake up people! This guy is a coke dealer, not a professional handicapper! He’s banned from the Bellagio for dealing drugs. He’s also a brutal alcoholic that spends all of his time partying. How could anyone think he could be good at anything?
Looks like this guy has been scamming all along
look closely at this pic. he posted a random photo from his “royals winnings” but now he is saying he won this with a Tennessee play in football. meanwhile he just found an old pic of chips and posted it saying he won all this. the guy lies about his success all the time. i made the mistake pitching in for his MLB package this yr. If you followed the “system” everyone lost their entire bank roll in April
