I heard all these big casinos have more rules than off-shore Books.
You cannot sit in the sportsbook and do....what now?
No phones, no nothing I understand. Laptops? lol

No phone booths in vicinity like those Golden years? Do they handcuff you to your seat? Just how the hell can I lose my life savings if I cannot make phone calls? We gamblers know that's where you get all those hot winning tips.
That extra winning edge.

Who's the old-pro that can fill me in?
Rather than sit there handcuffed, I may as well head to the Red Rock Canyons and get some Indian spirits.

[Ralphie Halves]

They've gotten rid of those dumb rules for the most part now.

[ABEHONEST]

No kidding? Only reason for that would be the almighty

[Ralphie Halves]

No, it was a pain in the ass to enforce, and they realized it doesn't really give 99% of the people there any added advantage anyway. It also increases action if you allow it.

What about a way to see numbers at multiple shops on/off vegas strip? You have to have a phone and a line service to see this information right so how do you access it if your in a book?

Thanks for the information so far Ralph, if what Abe says is true then fawk that, I'm never visiting unless JJ and Jayvegas agree to sign an SBR shirt for me or something relevant.

I can see boobs and ass in Dallas and check lines from my phone or home. I had imagined sportsbooks to be a fun atmosphere but if not no thanks!

Everyone has phones/laptops/tablets now....you just can't be texting/talking at the window or have headphones on at the window

Wow! Thank you almighty dollar-bill.

Abe, you are going to lose your shit when you actually get there. I see you've been working yourself up for this trip but words and pictures simply can not describe what you're about to see.

[ABEHONEST]

Call their sportsbook as you stay seated? Standing, even? As long as you're not in line? Of course, you would need an account.

It takes people too long to get to another book nowadays, the line you want might not even be there when you arrive. With more large companies owning most of the books now, it rarely even happens.

And the books could care less anyway. Almost nobody is going to be savvy enough to do that, and like I said, they probably won't get what they came for half the time and just give up on that.

To sum it up, the books thought they were losing money because of all this, but it turned out to be nothing, so it's way more laid back now.

No one is going to look at you or say a word when you're in the sports book. I bring my laptop every time, only thing you have to do is make sure you're not on a call or playing with your phone when you're placing a bet or cashing a ticket.

[jjgold]

everything goes

you can have phones, laptops, printers..whatever

They encourage it actually..plenty of plugs and most books have free wi fi

[kmarinouofm]

jesus christ..

just don't be a hamburger and you will have a good time..

[jjgold]

jerkoffs go to Vegas and get drunk

pros do not even touch the stuff

Ha, ha. Bad guess, Mr. Green. I have no gambling-green in my entire body. Mold, maybe? Check my fingers and you'll see. I have them worn down to the first knuckle. That's from making millions of phone calls and figuring propective angles. And most of that happened while I was asleep.

Ralphie, you seem on top of the game. Thanks for your input.

Fukk JJ. I can picture you now sitting in a sportsbook with your laptop and printer, printing out lines from SBRODDS. Comparing lines.

[Jayvegas420]

Ralphie's on point here.
If the book you are in isn't owned by MGM, Caesar's, cantor, Station or Will Hill well.... I couldnt tell you where the hell you are.
So logically line shopping is virtually non existent.
And like Ralphie says, even there were...how the hell are you gonna get from Silver Sevens, to Mandaly Bay in time to make your bet before the line changes?
Even Jayvegas can't walk that fast.


One thread ABE. This way when you are there, you only need to check one source for all the valuable information you will receive from SBR.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Best advice I can give you Abe is to do the opposite of what dipshits like jjbald say. He is about as sharp as the scissors they let Bobby use in art class in school.

mirage is/was hub for all MGM books and Rio is hub for all Caesars books. Pick a place you feel comfortable at and play there.

[Jayvegas420]

Rio has a free shuttle that goes to & from Bally's every 15.
