Inside LV Casinos on Superbown Eve.
[SIZE=4]THE CASINO'S ARE ROCKIN' TONIGHT HERE IN VEGAS Because of your kindness in the posts I have read over the "Phoenix Open" releases, I just wanted to take a few minutes to give you an insight into the biggest night of football betting in 2003 at the casino's I visited this afternoon.
Like everyone on this site, I too wager the Super Bowl and the "Wild West" proposition bets. And some of them remind me of the "matchups" we handicapp, tough.
First, know I'm not the most popular guy in line while waiting to wager. Fact is, the casino's would rather see me take my business somewhere else. THEY REALLY DO NOT LIKE WINNERS!
I don't care what you've been told, IF YOU BEAT THEM WEEK AFTER WEEK, you'd get a warmer reception in a morgue.
I can smile through it all, knowing no employee's pay check has been touched in these multi-million dollar operations and if they had to rely on being nice in the Sports Books, they'd be selling tin cans to a recycling plant
Oh, they love the "whales" who drop $200,000 to a half-mil. They even buy their wives a $10,000 necklace. But I don't fly in on my private jet and I'm not picked up at the airport and given a bed for the night at their slightly overdone suites for big spenders.
So, if you walk away a loser, they just can't do enough to get you back a.s.a.p. But let a "local" take them for a small ride every week, and the same wagers of that customer showing up by a number of other people from Vegas to as far away as Los Angeles and they really don't take it lightly.
I have one "celebrity" who bets so much on my golf releases, his "book" in Hollywood, on the set of a major motion picture company absolutely refuses to allow him to bet on golf. He called today and was able to get down on the big football game, but not golf. He flys in to wager. Word spreads fast when you are having fun.
You would know him from a motion picture about "our town" recently seen as a follow up to the original about a "heist" but I'm not into name dropping, yours included, if you are part of my clientel. But the point is, from LA to LV, when the casino camera's pick us up, you'd think we were going to rob them! Hence my line, do it legally.
About the "prop" bets. Many sites have posted them, but nothing can rival those of Vegas. And if you lived here, you could obtain a sheet and have some fun with these. For instance:
A. "YAO MING'S total points scored w/rebounds against the Chicago Bulls vs. Raiders total points scored in the Super Bowl."
YAO plus 5.5 pts...... -110. Raiders - 5.5 pts. scored -120.
B. " Mike Alstott's receptions vs. Chicago Blackhawks goals.
ALSTOTT RECEPTIONS ..........+ 1/2. Blackhawks goals........ -1/2.
" is + 130. " " now -160.
C, Who will score the most point? Paul Pierce (Bos) vs Orlando,
or Oakland Raiders? Pierce....... -3/12 is -120. Oakland..+ 3.5 is
-110.
Have a wager on the boxing now starting. Talk about odds.
Vernon Forrest -800 vs. Ricardo Mayorga at + 550. Not bad.
Good luck to us all tomorrow. And a special "have a great day to Rocco!"
