Early Life
Vegas Dave was born Dave Oancha on December 10, 1976, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend the University of Nevada. He never wanted a “classic” job and he didn’t like school. Dave took out a $10,000 student loan and bet the full amount on roulette. Dave got lucky and ended up doubling his money to win $20,000. After the victory, he decided to bet on the sport.
Dave met his girlfriend Holly Saunders in Las Vegas and the couple got engaged in December 2019.
Vegas Dave’s net worth and career
Oanchi’s sports betting career began after he doubled his money at the roulette table. He used $20,000 to raise his side bets. Dave dreamed of growing up. On the way to success, he faced many difficulties. Dave has lost most of his money. He spent several months in Gamblers Anonymous and had to borrow money from his parents. Dave has finally learned how to manage his money and has paid off his debts.
Determined to succeed, Dave refused to give up and his long shots paid off. In 2012, Dave remotely predicted that the Ravens would win the Super Bowl. He bet $8,000 for a win of $208,000.
In 2015, Dave made history by betting $100,000 on the Kansas City Royals to win the World Series. The Royals only played one week at the start of the season and should have finished last in AL Central. They ended up winning the World Series and Dave from Las Vegas took home a record $2.5 million win.

Oancea was recently banned from nearly all Las Vegas casinos. They refuse to take her bets because Dave has made her lose a lot of money and there is no end in sight. The casinos again refuse to allow withdrawals of this amount. Dave decided to retire from the betting business and started his own sports betting consulting business for clients who share a passion for sports betting. He now he has more than 10,000 customers.
