A lot of the books will only carry the main card fights, look the day of the event and you should get the rest of the card at some books, and some over/unders on the main card. Juice is higher in vegas than on line though, too. Don't forget to pick up drink tickets.

[Thor4140]

Nunya,

Good thread, I was wondering the same thing.... I've never bet mma in vegas, but have thought about driving out there before when I had a bigger bank roll and was making larger plays, only 3 1/2 hours from where I'm at...

Anyone know what the average 'to win' limit on a SU bet is at say the mgm or wynne owned casinos??

My buddy played at mgm the other week and didn't bother to ask, but he said they set a limit on the number of plays on a single parlay... they wouldn't let him parlay more than 6 fighters on a single parlay card. I told him to ask what the win limit was he forgot to ask...

I wonder if you could show up with 10k or something large like that and just throw it down, no questions asked...

Yeah, I know guys who make 60k bets in Vegas

[MMAbetMASTA]

on mma?? I know traditional sports they'll take really large bets, but because this is a 'new' sport per se I wouldn't be surprised if they're hesitant to take large wagers above 10k...

On major sports you can, not MMA. I've needed supervisor approval for 1k bets on MMA.

But, its still easy to get money down in vegas. If you bet the limit, they have the opportunity to move the line, but then you can make another limit bet until they decide you're too sharp. And if so, you just go next door and get the same line, or have your friend bet it.

Another major advantage to betting in vegas is if they take a bet they HAVE to honor it. If they release a line flipped and you bet it, they have to pay out no matter what. No cancellations.

very interesting... damn approval for just a grand, that's a little more 'tight' than I would have thought....

But yea I always figured if you really wanted to make a run in vegas, limits or not, there are still ways to win large money on mma... be like Mr. Walters or any other legit gambler that the casinos know as 'sharp' and have couriers or friends make additional plays for you and hit all the casinos at once!!!

Are you located in vegas???

Is anyone here located out in vegas???

I don't live in vegas but I'm there several times a year. I know a guy who used to be a runner for Billy Walters, went broke betting his own money along with Billy's picks not realizing that Billy plays both sides.

I've gotten larger bets than 1k down without approval as well, but it seems random at times. They probably ramp up the limits a bit as fights are going on, but I'm always up in my room betting movements online.

wow dude that's crazy!!! What did he get in return for running for Walters? i would assume nothing but the picks.... lol not to laugh at the guy, but man that's crazy he went broke following him and didn't realize its fuckin' billy walters who swings both sides of the lines to get what he wants.. Incredible.

[The Fobfather]

From my limited experience, betting MMA in vegas isn't that great. Bad odds and limited options.

He got paid, I'm not sure how much, but he was supposedly constantly on call.

Also, if you make a big sportsbook cash in vegas always ask to be paid in chips. If they give you cash they have to file a CTR which is a big pain in the ass.

Yep, but there are a few upsides too. I have stacks of drink tickets to every casino I frequent, so then the wife doesn't bug me to pay $8 a drink at some bar.

That's what I would think but my boy who was playing mma at mgm the other weekend said he wasn't getting offered any drinks... he took about 1.4k from them and I asked if they offered any comps for such a win and he said they didn't offer him anything...

Is it normal for you to get free drinks and / or comps for sportsbetting in casinos??? If so then yea that is a huge perk in my book as I can drop some serious cash on my drinking in vegas..

Good advice!

@Nunya does that mean that no matter how much $, if you ask for it in chips, no need for a CTR?

Every book will give you drink tickets if you ask when you place your bet. A normal bet of like 100-200 will usually get you 2. But I've had the teller hand me 15 or so for $1000+ bets. Ask when you place the bet not when you collect.

I think a couple of the books will rate your play at the sportsbook (meaning, offer traditional comps), but if you're beating them longterm you don't really want to tell them who you are, so I would advise never showing your card there.

(The only books that won't give you tickets are the ones that just let you drink for free by sitting in the sportsbook. I believe Rio is one of them.)

yes, just make sure you cash the chips out slowly at the cage, sometimes those bitches like to file em too.

I had no idea about any of this...this is really good advice, good stuff thanks bruddah...

[Crassus]

Well that's a shame, I'm always a little leery of the legality of online betting and was hoping Vegas was going to be my safe haven once I felt like I wanted to dedicate enough funds to it for it to be worth it...perhaps Canada is a better bet.

Those tickets are only valid for that day, I think.

[NunyaBidness]

nope, not at any of the places I play at.

[getlucky2win]

i live in vegas. the lvh takes huge bets. drink tickets only last a day and u usually got 2 ask 4 them

Cantor books hang lines on most of the card (with lots of juice). Wynn will hang lines on almost as many fights, but with lower juice.
