The further south you go the colder it gets but it's nowhere near Northeast cold in the US and definitely not like Canada. Coldest I've experienced is about 55 degrees F and I'm almost as far south as you can get. We get snow in the mountains maybe 90 minutes from here... amazing skiing and boarding conditions!!

Australia is terrible for sportsbooks
They are dives for the most part and all degenerates asking for cash just like UK
The only beautiful sportsbooks are in las vegas

You are a friggen loon. There are NO degos asking for cash at sportsbooks in Australia ffs. In fact 99.9% of them are attached to very family friendly pubs that cater to families. Kids just can't go over to the gambling side obviously.
You've never even been here so get bent.

Sherry so are you saying many Aussie books are comparable to Las Vegas books with the beautiful display boards and sportstickers and over 50 tvs?
Plush seating?? Top Notch waitresses?
I will wait here and you can show me the ones in Australia specifically Melbourne, I think your well aware nobody beats me here in any thread, I will make this 800 post thread if I have to.

Vegas is trash But inside the sports book so beautiful and there’s no comparison to Australia
Half the TVs are broken in Australia and some of them show shows from the 70’s during American sporting events.

1. Vegas is a shithole. End of story.
2. No, not every sportsbook here is set up like one city in a population of 300+ million. The difference is that in a country of 24 million we have a few world class casinos, sportsbooks attached to pubs in almost every suburb - if not all, and then stand alone books in shopping malls. You can LEGALLY gamble in two spots in your entire country. Seriously this isn't even an argument
3. We also aren't worried about being jumped, shot, scammed, robbed or anything else that happens in Vegas when in the vicinity of a casino.
And let's ignore the 'classy' behaviour of the people trying to hype hookers on every corner.
Vegas is amazing in it's own way but don't even try to trash books here when you've never entered the Southern Hemisphere for fukk sake.

Sherry Vegas has approx 800,000 people
Next two surrounding areas let’s say 500k each tops
Sherry the worst dive in Vegas probably tops best in Australia .
Australia is known for stunning cities in every way and a tremdendous place to live although sportsbetting wise more phone computer/phone driven and walk up shops to bet not leisure .
Horse Racing wise 10x Better than USA everyday.
Sherry I know more about Australia than you .

Australia is awesome. They really know how to cater to families that like to drink and gamble. I put my kids in front of the little Sponge Bob theater, go place a few bets, get a drink, come back and order some fish and chips. It's great. Vefas is good too. Not for kids though.

I despise Vegas. Depressing as penetrate.
I have a constant feeling while I'm there. The same feeling after I lose playing a $20 scratch off and I have all that crap on my lap. "Why did I do this?? I'm a loser."
what about mexico? i'm mostly curious about reasonable juice, B&M sports betting, NOT nice lounges etc.
although i do concur that vegas has nice sports betting parlors but also a overpriced, rip-off, depressing degen feel to the strip as a whole. so i agree with everyone

Just go some place warm and go to a local bar and bet from your phone.

You guys must go to Vegas too much. Awesome place. Like Disneyland for gamblers.
But JJ, those sportsbooks with all the single seat booth type setups are just un-Australian. Going to a Sports Bar here is more social, with group tables and people drinking and eating. Not just degens chewing on tickets all alone.

as long as you have wifi, you can place bets on your phone. so a beach like Mexico should suffice.
