    William & Hill.

    No one holds lines long, there's no such thing in Vegas. Price matching is the name of the game. Vegas books all finish at the same number right before tip, first pitch, kickoff, etc. There's 9 major books in Vegas, (Including stations), you'll never have two different ending spreads, even by a half point.

    Heres an example. Tonight's MLB Card:

    Thanks Porky. You mean, if I had phone accounts with the top 9 Books in LV--when college and pro football start--I would be wasting my time looking for a desperate 1/2 point? Even at kickoff?
    I have doubts it will be that bad on football season.
    What hotshot LV gambler agrees with me.

    And the only way to view these 9 Books[live-spreads or almost live-spreads], above, using a puter, is.......??
    Thank you. If you can answer that last question with credibility, you deserve some gratitude and respect. And points if you need them.

    Abe if you don't have a real timeline service for $400 a month don't even consider trying it… Of course you can get half point differences if you look but it takes a lot of time

    That's the only way to increase the limits.

    I never get the app, it's just too much info to give them.

    Timeline service? Please, some details, dear Goldfellow? Though, I do not see me spending $400 for ANY service.

    Thank you, you old gambler's who continue to the fight the good fight.

    Not the biggest as far as limits, but will hold longer than most. Check out the Wynn, Jerry's Nugget, Golden Nugget and Stratosphere. As long as the book hasnt converted into a Willy book, been a year and half since I was there.

    SBR does not have Vegas books

    It is excellent for offshore books
