Wild wagers of accused gambling-ring bigs Is there anything these clowns won’t bet on? Several men charged in the high-end gambling ring that allegedly attracted players such as actor Leonardo DiCaprio have a history of wacky wagers. The “booby prize” goes to defendant Michael Sall, who in 1996 bet Canadian gambler Brian Zembic that he wouldn’t get C-cup sized breast implants and keep them for a full year. Zembic not only pocketed $100,000 from Sall by getting the surgery — he kept the new breasts.

And in 2010, co-defendants Illya Trincher and Noah Siegel bought mid-court seats for three Boston Celtics home games during the NBA finals for pal Tyler McGill after McGill walked 218 miles from Boston to New York on a bet. McGill told Seacoastonline.com he took Siegel “to the cleaners” on another bet when he climbed up a random New York City fire escape, knocked on a window, got inside the apartment and walked out the front door within five minutes.
