Sportsbook Writers/Management in Vegas??

[jjax107]

I have a degree in Hospitality (Casino) Management and I was curious about the typical shift schedule for Sportsbook Writers and Sportsbook Shift Supervisors in Las Vegas. Does it vary? Are they set? There are casinos down South, but it is nothing like the "real" one in LV. I will eventually be making a career move to Las Vegas because of my background. True industry knowledge would be appreciated.

Sportsbook writers make minimum wage that is why so easy to get a job, always openings
There is zero money in it..not bad only if your single or retired

Football season you work period..off season regular shifts

JJgold Thanks for responding. Yea that seems to be the same for ticket writers everywhere as far as pay. Do you know if race & sportsbook supervisors in Vegas work graveyard shift?

[teaserpleaser]

explains why so ticket guys look so pissed off

[Grits n' Gravy]

Book supervisors get shit pay. Only position in the dept with semi-decent pay is vp. Being a writer is the same as being a Walmart cashier.

[jjgold]

Gritter am I right always job openings as writers??

You should look outside the box...a clerk in a private office pays much better...No health insurance--make sure lawyer fee's are covered.)~

Vito your an angler

I said over 11 times this past month I would not fuk with you

I would be a ticket writer in Vegas and hold some bets meaning not put them through the computer and work deals with local bettors

[jjax107]

Well the Casino GMs and execs are making 200k + easily... most of them started out entry level or ticket writers. For that im willing to make the short term sacrifice lol.
Some ticket writers can be grumpy. Some are that way because they expect patrons to tip them after a win lol.

Them vegas joints all suck. won't take a good pop anyways..They want to take just a few dimes then move the numbers on ya...fuk them all they want are the squares! I'm old school and still have outs.Don't need them skirt wearing bastards.

And they want you lay -110 in the pro's and no commish..But they give free coffee or some shit.

JJ YOU WOULD PROB FIND A WAY TO JUGGLE YOURSELF INTO HIDING WORKING FOR A LOCAL..

Yea the Vegas books have reduced their limits over the years, unless youre Floyd Mayweather Jr. *wink wink*

If guys without hospitality (restaurant/hotel) degrees can easily work their way up to 60-70,000 GM positions, what's the point of the degree?

Cause the economic/job market has changed the last decade or so. Used to be you could just work your up with a HS diploma, now casinos like to see degrees related to field. Along with being more competitive, I think its because the casinos have become more and more commercialized over years, more complexed, and managers now having to answer to stockholders on the Stock Market as well...IMO

I have experience and im familiar with the casinos down South through their Racebooks and weekly parlay cards... its still somewhat different compared to Vegas and their Race & Sportsbook systems. This is why I was curious about how their shift schedules work.

You are wrong on just about every single thing you wrote here. When you get your head out of your ass you can consider moving to Vegas.

You have been highly misinformed.
You have about a 1% chance going from the sportsbook to any kind of upper management position.
Your pay will be garbage, and unless you work in the pit you will never even get looked at.
And as for your "Short term sacrifice", you don't really have any idea how this business is. You will have to put in 15-20 years minimum right now in a Vegas casino to have any shot at one of these jobs (Unless you know someone).
You are loooking to be in the wrong field. Casinos in general are the wrong field.
Vegas is dying even though they are making money again in the casinos this year.
Unless you're a stripper or wanna be a cokktail waitress with huge fake , you're not making any money here.
90% of upper management comes from table games, then about 9% from slots. That last percent would be classified for a miracle/well connected person who just gets it because he knows someone.

Get into table games and learn dice right away. And get used to choking on cokkks for the next 15-20 years to get where you wanna be.
Casinos are flooded with ppl who have been there forever waiting on guys to die just to move up one spot in the chain. And Vegas is the worst. Least turnover for any area right now would be in Vegas Casinos I'm sure.
