    Real professional gamblers need LAS VEGAS
    1. BEST VIDEO POKER by a landslide
    2. Best place in America to wager sports.
    3. Tons of +ev coupons and comps available
    4. Huge variety of slots
    5. Tons of blackjack variations
    6. 4% commission baccarat and lower at times
    7. Poker mecca


    Very hard to even consider myself a professional these days living so far from the MAJOR LEAGUES of GAMBLING..........semi-professional would be a better term, and if I don't start winning at a greater clip, a rank amatuer would be best suited for my moniker.

            Only reason I'd move there is because all the Rock of Love whores strip there. I want to boldly go where Bret Michaels has gone before.

              dude u know i was out there a few months ago FH , I went to the Bellagio and asked a few questions regarding soccer that was in March when the UEFA was going on.

              You wanna know what the dude said when i asked about 3 way lines?

              Are you a wise guy ?

              and they never gave me a line for the game.....

              I guess each hotel has its own thing .. I know the Palms is bigger in exotics than most of the others , but I think much more can be achieved with 3 computer screens a fast internet connections and SBR Odds .

              Durito is right what if I am at the Bellagio and i wanna place a soccer bet ? it takes me 10 min at least to get to the other end of strip and with a jacked line.

              You have a very valid point the comps and the VP is exc but you will lose in slots in the end and Baccarat is mostly a push game that requires patience to make a profit.

              Vegas will always be Vegas but I know people that have Vegas at home and play at 20 books a day and price searching and studying .. that in my opinion is a pro gambler in 2009

                    Need is not the right word, but it certainly adds to profitability if you are otherwise American-based.

                      Only play +ev machines.......will not lose in the end.......unless I go on a six figure downside.

                      As far as sports, YES OFFSHORE IS WAY BETTER, but it is very tough for US citizens at this time.

                      Plus, I can manipulate parlays into a +ev situation, play in tons of football contests, and watch the games in a variety of settings with tons of old wiseguys and friends.

                          LV should be the holy grail of professional gambling, but it's really not.
                          The best vp deals are not in vegas.
                          the best bj, I doubt it.
                          The casino bosses get spooked by the silliest thing. Try to get $50 down on a greyhound.
                          Sportsbooks limits are well bellow what one would expect, and many are quick to limit you further.
                          Forget about slots. Every bum in the country is hanging out by any machine of even negligible value. (Spending time at the Hard Rock, I'm sure you know what I mean.
                          Plus, I hate how they try to overcharge you for every little thing.
                          I'm in LV alot, and the town is workable, but I would say it's far from ideal, the best or even necessary.

                                  All Pros went offshore. I can't imagine a Professional Sports Bettor betting on 20-cent lines, LoL!

                                  Vegas: Bad lines, They can easily limit you. Winning players are not welcome in LV.

                                  It's not a great place for sports betting but it's amazing for gambling All the lights, fun, action! VIVA LAS VEGAS!

                                      Nobody as been with more offshore outfits then myself.......i understand what your saying.

                                      What I'm saying it is still better for the elite gamblers to be IN Vegas and not some place like Clifton, New Jersey or Humboldt, Iowa.

                                      Plus, Im talking about much more than just sportsbetting........I'm talking about ALL potentially +ev possibilities.

                                        there was a great article in the las vegas sun yesterday(online) about the top books, it listed them by the ones that won't hassle you on any wager to get to the point it had , the hilton first, luckys second, palms third, south point, hard rock, mgm, stations , in that order, the writer said these places will take your action at any amount, but he also noted like fish and sawyer said most of the big players have gone offshore, i am just wondering what is the definition of a big player, winning over 100k a year, over 300k

                                          A big player has nothing to do with how much they win, it is how much they wager on one game.

                                          I know you know that though.

                                          It's a shame Vegas is such a shithole............upsets me to NO end.

                                              If you live in Canada, you should be with a minimum eight different shops offshore............why wouldn't you be?

                                                    No need for Vegas since the late 90's. That is for me since my only gambling is sports.

                                                    Never been more than a semi-pro and never will be. I can do almost everything I want from my base.....a swamp in central Florida.

                                                    Would trade Vegas for Neteller a hundred times over however.

                                                      Very hard to even consider myself a professional these days living so far from the MAJOR LEAGUES of GAMBLING..........semi-professional would be a better term, and if I don't start winning at a greater clip, a rank amatuer would be best suited for my moniker.

                                                          In Vegas, do they allow you to look at your cell phone while in the area of the sportsbook? If they do, it should be simple to spot arbs by browsing sbrlines on your cell. Hopefully you don't make it too obvious about what you are doing.
