Alex Smith and Vegas Betting

Guess you don't have to worry about this now...but why not get a friend/family member to make the bet. Someone who doesn't gamble much to begin with. So it isn't a loss if they can't gamble any more. I'm guessing that Vegas has inside connections to most within NFL organizations as well. Wouldn't take much to grease someones palms to always have the breaking news.

well I specifically don't have these connections, but found out first on twitters, and noticed most online books were slow to the news.

I've read about these such things in books, like taking advantage of the books, only to be told at the window that if you take your winning bet, you won't be allowed to bet at that book again, or cancel the bet and you can stay.

So, let's say you know the KC doctors, and you get info before public that Smith is out. You and your buddies run to a few casinos and bet very large amounts on SD plus the points.

do the casinos review names of all large bets placed within say an hour of the news coming out and blacklist these names?

what amounts wagered would be considered in these cases? How long would they look back? Would you be allowed to bet at these casinos again?

i seriously doubt they would take down your name and potentially blacklist you.

i got in on Chargers ML early when it was still +125 and i really hope the Chargers win but.....

just bc Alex Smith is not playing doesnt necessarily mean Chargers are a 100% guarantee... anything can happen but Chargers should win here.

Phillip Rivers has a good record in December, guy is the opposite of Tony Romo he is as clutch as it gets.
